"Ajru" isa dynamic show of frenetic rhythms mixed together with truly intimist melodies, numerous instruments whose tones merge, yet maintain all that which is most traditional of avant-guard sounds as a focal point. And all of this is carried by one solitary voice which represents the true strength of our sound, Mercedes Peon. "Ajru" is a great performance which reaches all kinds of audience ; this can be perceived due to the sell-out concerts and the fantastic audience participation, dancing and singing along to the chorus and will, without doubt, give people something to talk about.

"From the vocal flights of "Isué" or "Sombra e Luz" to the theatrics of Marabilla, Peon shows us her world. A world with its roots somewhere in the west of the Iberian Peninsula, and which reaches us through these eleven numbers. (...) A great voice from the shifting skies of Galicia. Her name is Mercedes Peon. Listen to her, absolutely! " - CELTICS

"A girl with a shaved head, wearing a skirt and sandals, launches into a pagan incantation, soon joined in polyphony by two chorus singers. Like Judith brandishing the head of Holopherne, the bald Primadonna raises a hoe to the heavens and beats the blade with a piece of cut flint, singing her frenetic chant all the while. Next, Mercedes Peon addresses those present in her native Galician and picks up a gaita - the bagpipes of her country - while the rest of the group sets up. An hour later, after dedicating an encore to her mother, she withdraws to the applause of the crowd. Since her first album came out in 2000, Mercedes Peon has been the symbol of the renaissance of Galician folk music. " - Fran�ois-Xavier Gomez - LIBERATION

She plays as she seems to be : with astounding generosity - a generosity that she infuses into her gaita (Galician bagpipes), her tambourine and above all her incredibly bewitching voice. Her repertoire forms around those vocal chords blessed by the gods, in harmony with the equally charming voices of her chorus singers. When these exceptional voices come to the fore the audience bathes in happiness ; the voices combine forcefully with the rhythm of the traditional Spanish and African instruments. Certain moments are trance-like. This fusion between machines and ancestral tunes is not a question of trend but of real artistic desire. (...) Her chants, sometimes incantatory, sometimes caressing, draw in and definitively seduce the listener. - Yannick Delneste - SUD OUEST
