Eduardo Paniagua is a distinguished Spanish musician renowned for his deep dedication to the preservation and interpretation of medieval Spanish music, particularly from the Christian, Jewish, and Moorish periods of Spain's history. Born into a family with a rich musical heritage, Paniagua's artistic journey began among the branches of his family's ensemble, Atrium Musicae, which played a crucial role in his early exposure to historical music performance. Branching out to carve his own unique niche, he founded the music groups Hespèrion XX and Música Antigua to further explore the sounds of Spain's storied past.

Paniagua's discography reflects a meticulous scholar's passion brought to life through sublime recordings that often center around the Cantigas de Santa María—a collection of medieval monophonic songs by Spanish King Alfonso X El Sabio—and other significant historical repertoires. Albums such as "El Collar de la Paloma" and "Cantigas de Huesca, Santa María de Salas" showcase his ability to blend musicological insight with spirited performances. His work is a continuous exploration of geography and history, evident in elaborately themed albums that transport listeners across regions and eras, from the liturgical strains captured in "Ave Maris Stella" to the rich musical tapestries of "Cantigas del Este de Francia" and "Cantigas de Andalucía." Through his numerous recordings and concert performances, Eduardo Paniagua remains a vital figure in the world of early music, offering audiences an acoustic window into the medieval soul of Iberia.
