As Catedrais Silenciadas (The Silenced Cathedrals) is the third album of Xabier Díaz with Adufeiras de Salitre, surely the work that best reflects the essence of their encounter and probably the one that explores the limits of this format more deeply. It arrives after an extensive tour across more than 13 countries and 200 concerts.

The title is a warning call for the progressive rural depopulation and the loss of identity this implies: the disappearance of our culture, the base of our difference in the world.

The Silenced Cathedrals are the old oaks, the language, the alalás (traditional galician song), the name of the rocks, the cows or the old ribeiranas (traditional galician dance). They need to be restored and used in order to grow stronger and capture the hearts of those who don't know them.
