Basque folk music is a genre that is deeply rooted in the culture and traditions of the Basque people. It is characterized by its use of traditional instruments such as the txalaparta, alboka, and trikitixa, as well as its distinctive vocal style. The music often tells stories of love, loss, and daily life in the Basque country. Sorotan Bele, Mikel Laboa, and Alaitz Eta Maider are all notable figures in the Basque folk music scene, each bringing their own unique style and interpretation to the genre.
