Authentica's energetic folk fusion music serves as a cultural bridge, introducing Luxembourg’s folk music to international audiences. Behind the name is Martina Menichetti, an Italian-Luxembourgish musician who explores ancient tunes, stories and legends with a contemporary perspective and the skillful use of various languages. Her sound is influenced by Celtic, Latin, and Mediterranean music, vibrating with powerful vocals, flutes, keyboards, guitars, and percussion. Authentica’s debut album "Out in the Light" was released in early 2025 and has already received glowing praise from the press, which hailed it as “a musically first-rate and conceptually original body of work,” highlighting the band’s powerful presence both live and in the studio.

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, Afro Celt Sound System, Mànran, Skipinnish, Startijenn, Gwennyn and Red Cardell.
