Bosnerau


Bosnerau is a folk band from Zuera, Aragón. For more than ten years they have been singing in honour of the mountains: the Pyrenees.

Bosnerau plays a fusion of folk styles from Aragón, the south of France and the Basque country, but also love to include many styles like Irish trad and bluegrass. As much as it is important to safeguard old songs and traditions, they propose new melodies, new sounds, to keep folk alive in as many ways possible.

Bosnearu’s instrumentarium are accordion, guitar, bass, percussion, violin, Gaita de Boto (bagpipes) and Chiflo y Salterio (the Aragonese equivalent of the Béarnaise "flûte a trois trous et tambourin a cordes"). Song is in Spanish and in several dialects of the Aragonese language, like Ansotano and Cheso, from the valleys of Ansó and Echo.

Allué with boina and bota de vino, another element that is crucial in the attire and tools of the Pyrenees

Adrián (Gaita y Chiflo) and Allué (Violin) both wear berets as a rendition to their ancestors and a continuation of the Pyrenean tradition.
