La Bazanca,
40 + 2 Years of Traditional Music
With a long and dense trajectory of 42 years transmitting the traditional music of Castilla y León throughout Spain and Europe with nearly two thousand concerts, the band La Bazanca enjoyed and enriched each and every one of the musicians who contributed to the group, keeping alive and reworking the music from our land, Castilla y León, and the Iberian Peninsula.
In 2021, we have recorded our third album of live concert (which is the twelfth album of La Bazanca) at the Calderón Theater in Valladolid with a luxury line-up in a septet. Respecting at all times the original traditional rhythms and melodies, we intend to bring new sounds and timbre to the repertoire, which the style is named “trad-brass”.
Today, with eight musicians and the possibility of incorporating one or two magnificent dance couples, we are ready to offer an unbeatable music and dance show with a complete and renewed program that is growing with each performance.

It is also a repertoire in which the public collaborates easily, either because the songs are simple and very catchy or because Christmas is coming it seems that we open up a little more and lose "the stage frights" that we usually drag during the The rest of the year.
