Post Description

Oskorri is a clean, fresh, spontaneous and cheerful concept. The perfect balance between voice and instruments, ballads and parties, acoustics and electrics, and between traditional and modern instruments... All these reasons make their music really difficult to categorize. Music without tags, full of new sounds, with traditional roots but modern at the same time. Eclectic, but without falling into the monotonous traditionalism, maintaining their own sound as the result of all seven musicians sensitivity.

Their musical career, more than 30 years long, is known by its richness, quality and universality. They have been strangely described as the best folk band in the peninsula, although they come from a urban and industrial environment.
