    Spain's music is made by Beltran a huge impression on everyone with his 2002 recording, Arditurri. Now he presents fifteen new themes recorded under the direction of Suso Saiz. This ethnic album features traditional songs and Beltran's own compositions, performed with a small ensemble on many traditional instruments, with an emphasis on the traditinal basque tools like txalaparta (wood-planks), alboka (horn), txistu-ttunttuna (flute), trikitixa (accordion), panderoa and tamboril (drums). This continuation of his Arditurri project is essential listening for anyone interested in the roots and future of Basque folk music.
