La Musgaña - Las Seis Tentaciones

With a repertoire drawn almost exclusively from the traditional dances of provinces in the Spanish interior, La Musgana puts the wind instruments in the lead-an-assortment of rustic flutes and bagpipes join clarinet and the occasional accordion to carry the melodies. The rhythmic pulse, thudded by tabors and other venerable hand drums and embellished by flashing cittern chords often conjures images of medieval feasts and rites. Sometimes the Spanish quartet calls to mind the Chieftains or the more trad side of Fairport Convention.
