Musica Ficta is a revered early music ensemble deeply rooted in the rich tapestry of Renaissance and Baroque music. Founded by its director Raúl Mallavibarrena, the ensemble has developed a reputation for delivering emotionally resonant and historically informed performances. Emerging from Spain, a country with a significant yet sometimes underappreciated legacy of early music, Musica Ficta offers a window into the diverse and intricate soundscapes of past centuries.

Their musical storytelling is primarily channeled through the works of the Iberian Peninsula's most distinguished composers, unearthing the beauty of pieces that have lain dormant in archives for ages. Albums like "Responsorios de Tinieblas" and "Francisco Guerrero: Villanescas I" showcase their commitment to the Spanish repertoire, while works such as "Tomas Luis de Victoria: Officium Defunctorum - Musica Ficta - Raúl Mallavibarrena" exhibit their mastery in unearthing the spiritual intensity of these ancient compositions. With performances that have captivated audiences globally, including their critically acclaimed "Musica Ficta Live in New York" recording, the ensemble proves that the language of early music transcends the barrier of time, inviting listeners to embark on a journey through history with every note.
