“echoes of maltese songs beneath the city”

Beneath the streets of Valletta, in the vaults of San Duminku Church, Folk Underground brings audiences into the world of għana, Malta's distinctive tradition of folk singing, storytelling and acoustic guitars.

Performed by celebrated folk masters alongside a new generation of inspired rising voices, these intimate acoustic evenings reveal a musical culture seldom encountered beyond village bars and local communities.

Songs of love, loss, resistance, wit and everyday life, shaped over centuries at the crossroads of the Mediterranean.

Voices, guitars and stories echoing through stone vaults beneath the city.
