3	Xera is a band from Asturias, Spain. Their music is a mixture of traditional Asturian folk[[note]]which sounds a lot like Celtic music, owing to the historical settlement of the region by the Astures tribe of the Celts[[/note]] and {{techno}}. So their music varies from folk songs with dense electronic rhythm sections; to energetic techno songs with gaita, fiddle, and bouzouki carrying the melody; to everything in between.
