Euskal Barrokensemble

**Euskal Barrokensemble** is a vibrant musical collective from Spain’s Basque Country, blending Baroque flair with Basque folk traditions. Led by guitarist and director Enrike Solinís, the group breathes new life into historical compositions while weaving in regional instruments like the txistu (Basque flute) or alboka, creating a sound that’s both scholarly and rootsy. Their projects often spotlight forgotten gems or reimagine classics—think fiery jigs meets intricate counterpoint. Recent releases like *Juan Sebastian Elkano* (inspired by the Basque explorer who completed Magellan’s circumnavigation) and *Omnia Vincit Amor* showcase their knack for storytelling through bold, genre-blurring performances. Whether reviving 17th-century manuscripts or collaborating across art forms, they’re all about making old music feel thrillingly fresh.
