Euskal Barrok Ensemble

The ensemble was founded in 2006 by its artistic director and guitar virtuoso Enrike Solinís. It focuses on the musical tradition of both European and American cultures. The unique approach of the ensemble’s founder consists in presenting nearly forgotten works, highlighting the richness of musical heritage. In addition to the high level of the interpretative skills of all its members, the ensemble offers a varied range of musical styles (from early music to popular music) that includes music from various countries and corners of the world.
 
Euskal Barrok Ensemble is a regular guest at international music festivals such as the Montreal Baroque Festival, Auditorio Nacional in Madrid, Euskalduna Jauregia in the Basque Country, the Leo Brouwer Festival in Havana, the Stockholm Early Music Festival, and others.
 
The ensemble has released several CDs (on the Glossa and Alia Vox labels) featuring Baroque dance music from southern Europe and Turkey, early music from the Basque Country and Brazilian polyphonic music from the Anchieta region. The CD “Elkano” (Alia Vox, 2019) was nominated for the International Music Awards in 2020.
