No, LIMúR is not the new revelation of Icelandic pop or a cute little arboreal animal from Madagascar: it’s the Iberian Roots Music Chart.
LIMúR aims to celebrate, recognize, promote and disseminate the highest quality Iberian roots music productions.
We understand Iberian roots music as any musical expression with roots in Iberian cultures made anywhere on the planet, as well as any musical expression with roots anywhere on the planet made by Iberian artists and/or in Iberian lands, Iberian being understood as referring to any territory under Spanish, Portuguese, Andorran or Gibraltarian administration, including those located outside the Iberian Peninsula.
LIMúR brings together a team of specialists in roots music in its different aspects: traditional, folk, the so-called world or global music, or styles such as flamenco, fado or any other, with an open spirit to evaluate any record production according to its artistic quality, beyond its musical style.
LIMúR produces every year four quarterly charts and an annual one with the recent long-playing albums of the above mentioned characteristics best valued by the panelists, in a unique category that will gather any record production, regardless of its format or the way of edition or distribution.
