Authentica is the stage name of Martina Menichetti, an Italian-Luxembourgish singer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist who blends folk and global traditional music with an energetic stage presence. Her music serves as a cultural bridge, introducing Luxembourg's folk music to international audiences. Martina explores ancient tunes, stories and legends with a contemporary perspective, infusing them with the richness of flutes, evocative soundscapes, guitars, and dance-inducing percussion. Strongly influenced by Celtic, Latin and Mediterranean music, her sound is uniquely enriched by her fluency in seven languages.

 

Martina has performed with artists like Carlos Núñez, Dan Ar Braz, Anxo Lorenzo, she was a member of the band Dullemajik and has performed on stages like Celtic Connections Festival at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow UK, at the Luxembourg Philharmonic Concert Hall, TEDx, and Zeltik Celebration, opening for artists like Sharon Shannon, Mànran, Skipinnish, Startijenn, Gwennyn and Red Cardell.

 

Authentica is proudly supported by the Luxembourg national organizations Oeuvre and Kultur|LX.
