Spain is known worldwide for its glorious traditional music – flamenco. People are most likely to see the country’s cultural identity through its international flamenco stars. But this is only the tip of the Iberian iceberg… In fact, there are many other regional styles that deserve to be heard. Vigüela represents one of these from the Spanish heartland of Castilla-La Mancha, the world of another cultural icon, Cervantes’ Don Quixote.

Vigüela have found an audience in both rural and urban Spain. For the latter, they are like a window on a world that modern Spain, and the rest of the world, knows nothing about. Indeed, the life in El Carpio de Tajo (their hometown) is quite simple and mainly revolves around vegetables, fruit, sheep and goats.

The name of the band, Vigüela, is a local term for guitar. The word is similar to vihuela, which refers to a different Renaissance instrument, but they come from the same root. The band started around 1986 and have now recorded nine albums, the last three have been released internationally on ARC Music.
