Kepa Junkera
Probably the most influential Basque artist currently working, Junkera has found a new world of music for the trikitixa (the diatonic accordion of his home, Euskal Herria. Here are recordings he has made on his own, adn with a pantheon of other Spanish and basque artists. They range from the most reverent of traditional approaches to the most radical of experiments.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
