Authentica’s energetic folk fusion music serves as a cultural bridge, introducing Luxembourg’s folk music to international audiences. Behind the name is Martina Menichetti, an Italian-Luxembourgish musician who explores ancient tunes, stories and legends with a contemporary perspective and the skillful use of various languages. Her sound is influenced by Celtic, Latin, and Mediterranean music, vibrating with powerful vocals, flutes, keyboards, guitars, and percussion. Authentica’s debut album “Out in the Light” was released in early 2025 and has already received glowing praise from the press, which hailed it as “a musically first-rate and conceptually original body of work,” highlighting the band’s powerful presence both live and in the studio.

They immediately took a liking to each other’s work, feeling a strong musical kinship that has guided their songwriting adventures ever since. The words and music have continued to pour out, a heartfelt reflection on their own lives – of love and friendship, loss and hope, and all the in-betweens – highlighted by the harmony of their voices and instruments.
