Música Temprana is a distinguished ensemble dedicated to the exploration and performance of Latin American and Iberian early music. Under the visionary guidance of conductor and founder Adrián Rodríguez Van der Spoel, the group has carved a unique niche in the world of classical music, focusing particularly on repertoire from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Formed in the early 2000s, Música Temprana has since become renowned for their meticulous research, vibrant performances, and commitment to unearthing and revitalizing forgotten musical treasures from Spanish America and beyond.

The ensemble's discography reflects a deep engagement with the rich musical heritage of the New World, particularly that of 18th century Latin America. Albums such as "Muy Hermosa Es María," "José de Orégon y Aparicio: La Esfera de Apolo. Music From 18th Century Lima, Peru," and "Iyaî Jesucristo (Music from the Jesuit Missions in 18th Century Bolivia)" offer listeners a rare glimpse into the musical landscapes of colonial Latin America, showcasing a blend of European baroque influences with indigenous and African elements. Through projects like "Misa Criolla" and "Bailes, Tonadas & Cachuas," Música Temprana not only performs the music with historical instruments and practices but also imbues it with a fresh, contemporary energy, making ancient sounds accessible and relevant to modern audiences.
