Acetre

Acetre is a vibrant folk ensemble rooted in Extremadura, Spain, celebrated for keeping the region’s traditional sounds alive while blending modern flair. Formed in the 1970s in Olivenza, the group revives centuries-old Iberian melodies using instruments like the tambourine, bagpipe, and hurdy-gurdy, paired with rich vocal harmonies. Their music often spotlights Extremadura’s cultural heritage, from rural landscapes to local legends, as seen in releases like *Dehesario* (a nod to the iconic *dehesa* ecosystem) and *Extremadura en la Frontera: Olivenza*. Tracks like *Ramapalla* and *Canto de Gamusinos* showcase their playful yet soulful approach to folklore, making them staples at festivals and cultural events. With deep respect for tradition and a knack for reinvention, Acetre remains a bridge between past and present in Spain’s folk scene.
