POST-FOLK-ASTURIANU
¿What is that?
The post-folk is a new experience with Asturian trad music.
L-R
L-R are Leticia Baselgas (vocals, tambourine) and Rubén Bada (electric guitars, looper, effects). They create a unique sound, deconstructing and reinterpreting Asturian traditional music. Their mission is to retain the integrity of the traditional Asturian dance rhythms whilst embracing 21st century technology. They combine the sounds of their native Asturias with blues, rock and jazz. L-R call their music “post-folk” or “post-trad.”
¡Asturian trad music is alive! This is Asturian- post-folk.
"when will your fist album be published?"
Yes, friends, it´s time...
After two years playing our music at festivals and concerts, we believe that it is time to record an album for you. This way you will enjoy our music in your home. Many people have asked us about a new album so, we will be working on it.
¡This is the moment and we need your help!

two albums. Shortly after, he became a highly sought after studio musician and producer,
working with Asturian acts such as, Mari luz Cristobal, N’arba, Corquieu, Tejedor, Dixebra,
Llacín Pipe Band, Ú?, Alfredo González, and DRD. In 2000, Ruben won the Asturian
