Basque Folk

Basque Folk music is a vibrant tapestry of sounds rooted in the rich cultural heritage of the Basque Country, straddling the border between Spain and France. Characterized by its use of traditional instruments like the txalaparta, a percussive wooden instrument, and the trikitixa, a lively diatonic accordion, this genre often features polyphonic singing and dance rhythms that evoke the rugged landscapes and spirited celebrations of its people. With themes celebrating nature, community, and history, Basque Folk is a testament to the enduring spirit and unique identity of the Basque culture.
