Tùatha dé Danann is a Brazilian band that comes from the city of Varginha, state of Minas Gerais, which is an important historical region because of the fight against the Imperial domination for Brazil’s independence. And the violinist comes from Curitiba city, province of Paraná. The band’s first name was Pendragon, and they began their activities 1995 intending to do a different kind of music, with no comparison in the scene, mixing Heavy Metal with the Celtic and medieval music. Their first demo tape was released in 1996, named “The Last Pendragon”, and this work got very good reviews in the specialized media, mainly because of the unique sonority. Afterwards they changed the band name to Tùatha dé Danann, which was perfect to represent their thematic proposal. The name comes from the Celtic mythology; it means “People of the Goddess Danu”. The Tùatha dé Danann were one of the mythical races that settled in Ireland before the arrival of the Milesians, the ancestors of modern Gaels. The Dananns were descendants of the goddess Danu. The Tùatha dé Dananns were a race of deities as well as race of heroes. They were skilled in art and science, poetry and magic.

In the year of 1998 Tùatha dé Danann recorded the second demo “Faeryage”, totally dived into the magic and beauty of the Celtic music, including instruments like flutes, violins, viols and mandolins, but supported by a heavy sound. “Faeryage” impressed everybody, pleasing the audiences and the specialized media. As a result the band signed their first contract with the record label “Heavy Metal Rock”.
