Aulaga Folk: Weaving Sounds of Tradition and Renewal In 1999, Aulaga Folk emerged in the charming corner of Casas del Monte, nestled in the heart of the Ambroz Valley. This Cáceres valley, scented with lush sierras, stretches out in the north of Extremadura, embraced by the Béjar and Gredos mountain ranges. Passion for music guides its members to explore the melodies of their land, tuning in to the voices of its inhabitants. In doing so, they shape a repertoire that draws on popular chants and the rich oral tradition. Aulaga Folk dresses these treasures with traditional elements and the fusion of other instruments and genres, without straying from their ancestral roots or the echo of times past. "Preserving and rescuing the legacy of our ancestors is one of the treasures that enriches our understanding of life, customs and traditions — in short, of who we are today." The group not only performs original songs but also gives life to compositions inspired by local poems and lyrics, drawn from the hearts of the villagers. In a two-way musical exchange, Aulaga Folk nourishes itself not only from its roots but also from its desire to bring a new nuance to the musical richness of Extremadura, illuminating regional folklore with a fresh perspective. Its goal is to keep popular culture alive and relevant, bringing it closer and adapting it for the younger 21st-century audiences, thus securing the future of our heritage. Aulaga Folk's efforts have borne notable fruit, taking their music across the Iberian Peninsula, from cozy corners to major festivals. Notable events include Folk Canarias, the Parapanda Folk International Festival in Granada, the Íbero Folkmedo International Festival, the Palencia Festival "A Concejo", Folk Chinchón, the Plasencia International Folk Festival across four editions, Almuenza Folk Festival, Valgañon Folk Festival, the Murcia International Festival, the Granada Folk Festival, the Fira Mediterránia de Manresa, the Son de Aquí Festival and the Ibiza Folk Festival, among others. Aulaga Folk is much more than music; it is a window to the past that lights up the present and the future, building bridges between generations and keeping the flame of tradition alive.
