Arkesia

Arkesia is a free flight through music, myths, and tales, exploring the magical collective history written in the depths of each of us. Born from a vision of music as a shared experience and a natural fusion of diverse traditions, Arkesia celebrates the rich tapestry of cultural influences that have shaped European heritage.

Their journey began with the concept album The Wheel of the Year, a rediscovery of ancestral rites and festivals that form the foundation of many Western traditions. All songs were written by the band (except for Scarborough Fair and other traditional inserts), blending original compositions with timeless melodies.

Their latest work, the EP Celtic Whispers - Tales of Love and Water, continues this exploration. It features traditional pieces reimagined with Arkesia's signature style—acoustic instruments like harp, erhu, flutes, and bodhrán—alongside their original track Ethniù-The Dove, a haunting tale of love and liberation rooted in Celtic mythology.
