Na-Mara are Hertfordshire-based duo, formed in 2006, comprising Rob Garcia, (guitar, mandolin, octave mandolin & backing vocals), born in London of Spanish descent, his father being a child refugee from the 1937 Guernica bombing, and Paul McNamara, (vocals, guitars) born in Middlesbrough, writer of all the original lyrics on their last album. Performing English translations of songs from Breton, French and Quebecois traditions; and their take on traditional tunes from Brittany, France and the Spanish Celtic regions of Asturias and Galicia.

“One of life's certainties, thus far, is that any music produced by Na-Mara, be it live or recorded, will be of the highest quality and guaranteed to involve subjects and themes of compelling interest. Their latest recorded release, Sisters & Brothers, does nothing to contradict that assertion, indeed it would be fair to say that this offering reaffirms their status as one of the most talented duos around……By any standards, Na-Mara are one of the outstanding duos on the contemporary music scene…” David Pratt, FATEA, 13th April 2019
