Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Maren' is the album where Kepa Junkera's reinvention of the Basque trikitixa fully coheres, its joyful, dance-driven ensemble playing recasting the traditional diatonic accordion repertory in a contemporary folk frame. It contains a new version of 'Bok Espok', first heard on the double album 'Bilbao 00:00h', reworked for the smaller band heard here.
