Urbàlia Rurana is a prominent folk band hailing from the Valencia region in Spain, celebrated for their innovative approach in fusing traditional Valencian music with a variety of other Mediterranean influences. Formed in the early 1990s, the ensemble quickly made a mark by delving into the roots of their cultural heritage and bringing to life the rustic elements of rural Valencian music. They employed a diverse array of instruments common to folk traditions, such as the dulzaina (a kind of oboe), the accordion, and various types of percussion, all of which contribute to their distinctive sound.

Over the years, Urbàlia Rurana has enjoyed a prolific career, constantly exploring and preserving the rich musical traditions of their region while also incorporating contemporary sounds and themes. Albums like "Pastorets i pastoretes. Cançons valencianes de Nadal" capture the essence of regional Christmas music, while "De tornada a les ribes" and "Rom I Cafè" represent the band's ongoing commitment to celebrating and contemporizing folklore music. With a deep respect for historical music narratives, their work doesn't just entertain; it also educates listeners about the depth of Valencian culture. "Territoris Amables" and "A la Banda de Migjorn" are further testaments to their versatility and passion for storytelling through music, securing Urbàlia Rurana's place as guardians of their musical heritage and innovators in the folk scene.
