ALBOKA - Ipar Haizea

ALBOKA, one of the most established and representative Basque folk groups, is led by Joxan Goikoetxea (accordion)and Alan Griffin (alboka and flutes) with a wonderful job of presenting old music, both sung and instrumental, in a new guise, as well as composing new material in a convincingly traditional style.

"Ipar Haizea" is a "ezpatadantza" (sword dance) and was composed by Alan Griffin. Alboka played it at the "Concerti Scaligeri" in Verona (Italy) the 1th of August in 2003.

Musicians:
Joxan Goikoetxea - Accordion
Alan Griffin - Alboka
Xabi Sn.Sn. - Voice & guitar
Juanjo Otxandorena - bouzouki
Juan Arriola - Violin
Balen Lpz. de Munain - Guitar
Salvatore maiore - Cello

[madcowmangos]

@akumie2 ok, yes, euskal herria= 7 provinces. euskadi= 3 spanish provinces. go to turismoa.euskadi.net/eu/ and complain to them that they have named their own land incorrectly.
