I like Junkera as much as the next guy, in fact, some of his cross-cultural explorations are among my favorites of his. However, it would be nice to have him do an album just of his own ensemble just sticking to Basque music. Of course I am always wary of Budino, who can be a little bit cheesy (especially when hanging out with the likes of Dulce Pontes).
Well, he HAS done many recordings of strictly basque music obver the years... I guess he just wants the same liberties all artists have... to create his own things instaed of repeating the past.
