South of Polaris is the Flamenco-infused Alt Folk duo of Danii Reales (UK) and Saúl Díaz (Spain), whose music is as emotionally raw as it is sonically rich. Their sound blends intimate folk storytelling, the fire of flamenco, and the theatrical energy of rock, anchored by Danii’s unforgettable vocals and violin, and Saúl’s intricate Electro-Classical Guitar.

Born from grief, their music became a form of healing, transforming intense emotion into honest, relatable songwriting. Their performances are immersive and dynamic, offering audiences a visceral experience that’s both grounded and transcendent.

In just three years, South of Polaris has carved out a distinct space in the UK folk scene. They’ve been featured on BBC Introducing, Alan Ritson’s Fine Folk, and Cambridge Radio’s Folk Club, and have opened for acclaimed acts like Mad Dog Mcrea and Rioghnach Connolly & Honeyfeet. Their debut EP The Year After (Dec 2024) marked a powerful artistic milestone, earning them a nomination for a Cambridge NMG Award in the Folk & Americana category.
