Summary

Within contemporary Basque composition, A. González Acilu represents a singular figure, not only because of his peculiar treatment of vocal music and his incidence in the so-called phonetic composition, but also because of his original proposal about what could be the "essence of Basque music". In this article a revision of Acilu´s more meaningful musical production is outlined, in relation to the anthropologic and aesthetic interpretations that lead him, precisely, to configure that peculiar way of conceiving the Basques in music.
