Hegoa Diskak & Horn Of Plenty
Hegoa Records is a label born of a need to promote the works of experimental artists from the Basque Country in the north of Spain. The label dives into the overlooked works of early and contemporary folk, leftfield and electronic music artists from the region.
The Horn of Plenty does on occasion provide a bountiful source of food, but on its own it certainly does not constitute a balanced diet and its availability is limited to just a few weeks of the year.
