Do you know the music of the Basque Country? Probably not, although the Basque-speaking part of Spain also has a rich folk song tradition to offer. Learn more about the Basque treasure trove of songs and sing along with the children's choir "Leioa Kantika Korala" and their choirmaster Basilio Astulez.
Children's choir "Leioa Kantika Korala", Spain
Leioa Kantika Korala was founded in 2000 as the brainchild of choirmaster Basilio Astúlez from the Municipal Conservatory in Leioa. The main aim of the choir, which consists of 50 girls and boys aged between 11 and 20, is to promote a love of singing and an appreciation of music of all styles and genres. To this end, it regularly performs at events and festivals not only in the Basque Country but also throughout Spain. The choir has also set new standards internationally with its confident approach, finely crafted choreography and commitment to commissioning and premiering new pieces for children's choirs from around the world. It has also won prizes at prestigious competitions such as Tolosa, Arezzo and Neerpelt and has toured to countries as diverse as Iceland, Mexico and South Korea. Leioa Kantika Korala is regularly involved in orchestral and opera projects and has twice been chosen as a guest choir for the World Symposium on Choral Music.
