Raquel Andueza

**Raquel Andueza** is a Spanish soprano who's become a dynamic force in the early music scene, specializing in Baroque and Renaissance repertoire. Known for her luminous vocals and expressive storytelling, she co-founded the ensemble La Galanía, often collaborating with lutenist Jesús Fernández Baena and other specialists to revive 17th-century gems. Her recent projects, like *Yo Soy la Locura* and *Alfabeto Songs*, showcase her knack for unearthing lesser-known Italian and Spanish works, blending scholarly depth with infectious energy. Whether interpreting the playful theatricality of Merula or devotional pieces like *In Paradiso*, she brings a modern freshness to centuries-old music.

Andueza’s work often bridges academia and accessibility, as heard in albums like *Juan de Aragüés: ¡Ah de las esferas!*, which reconstructs historic chapel music for today’s ears. A regular at prestigious early music festivals, she balances reverence for historical performance practices with a flair that makes ancient compositions feel alive. Her releases, from the dance-inspired *El Baile Perdido* to the contemplative *Pla: Stabat Mater*, reveal an artist deeply committed to expanding the early music canon—one captivating note at a time.
