XA’LUM’s ‘Beiriña’ weaves Galicia’s musical traditions into the fabric of hyperpop’s shimmering intensity. Inspired by the folk song ‘Amoriños Collín’, the track is a love letter to the past and a leap into the future, crafting a music experiment that is organic and boldly synthetic. At the heart of ‘Beiriña’ is XA’LUM’s inventive use of the vieira, a traditional Galician percussion instrument made from seashells.

‘Hyperpop, experimentation, synths’

The percussive rhythms of the shells form the foundation, grounding the track in something tangible and timeless. Yet, from that base, the song takes off into an intricate electronic sound, where glistening synths and ethereal vocals blur the line between folk and futurism. There’s an almost tactile quality to the music, layers build upon each other like ocean waves, shifting between warmth and chill, intimacy and expansiveness.
