Bulla Timpánica (Spain)
Bulla
Timpánica is a trio made up of
musicians Alfonso Merino
(fiddle), Alfonso Franco
(fiddle) and Liz
Josiño (bouzouki & requinta). Formed in 2005,
Bulla Timpánica’s repertoire is based on traditional
Galician music but also draws on the melodic influences of
returning emigrants from and . Traditionally Galician tunes are
accompanied by the bagpipe, but due to the acoustics of small
spaces the group chooses to perform pieces that are better adapted
to the fiddle.
These three Galician musicians perform and record together but also pursue personal endeavours that include teaching and conducting workshops at the Conservatory of Traditional Music of Vigo.
