Background notes
Archive material and source history
La Compostera formed in Galicia in the late 1980s with Xurxo Souto on vocals, Antón Díaz on guitar, Xosé Manuel Budiño on bass, and Xan González on drums. Their first album was 1989's "A Arte," which gave them their early anthem. They followed it with records like "Terra" in 1991 and "Fóra" in 1995.
Their music pulled from traditional Galician melodies but mixed in punk and rock elements. Souto wrote lyrics that dealt plainly with social and political themes, which sometimes drew criticism from various quarters. Songs like "A Fera" and "A Palavra É Mãe" carried that direct, unadorned quality.
They kept recording into the 2000s with albums such as "O Mundo Que Ven" in 2001 and "A Volta Ao Mundo" in 2006. Their live shows were known for their energy, and they developed a dedicated following in Galicia and beyond.
