Solfafria
Milladoiro (English: "billionaire") is a traditional Celtic-Galician music group that records and performs music with roots in Galicia, Spain. Members of the group have also composed and recorded their own pieces, in the style of Galician music.

Biography In 1978, Rodrigo Romaní and Antón Seoane released an album named "Milladoiro", on which they were joined by Xosé V. Ferreirós, then credited as a guest artist.
