A Jazz, soul, R&B and hip-hop quintet, led by flutist Marta Mansilla. It is presenting its new album, MUTATIS MUTANDIS, recorded by Pablo Martin Jones and Lucas Piedra Cueva (winners of several Latin Grammys with Jorge Drexler), which is being launched this year, 2025.

Winners of the Clinton Award for the Best Jazz Group for their debut album, Pacemaker (in 2023), they have performed at over 60 international Jazz festivals, among them the Vitoria Jazz Festival, Noches del Botánico, in Madrid, and Jazzahead 2025.
El Cuarteto Federal: Cuatro puntos cardinales
Guillem Arnedo (drums), Kike Perdomo (saxophones), Javier Galiana (piano), Xacobe Martínez Antelo (double bass)
The fruit of the meeting of four musicians very active on the contemporary Spanish Jazz scene, and have been in all of the XXI century thus far, who are all creatures of the reality of periphery - geographically and stylistically. This initiative is a conscious and deliberate invitation that emerged out of the common creative impulse of its four members: Kike Perdomo, who hails from the archipelago of the Canary Islands, Javier Galiana, from Andalusia, Xacobe Martínez Antelo, from Galicia, and Guillem Arnedo, from Catalonia. This artistic encounter received the support of the Provincial Government of A Coruña, through the Mariñán Música Creative Residences. Cuarteto Federal has performed at concert venues and festivals in Galicia, Andalusia and Madrid.
