Folia is one of the oldest European musical themes, an obsessive rhythm that is likely going to haunt you for some days. Below there are 4 versions, all of them performed by Jordi Savall and his orchestra. Enjoy!
Arcangelo Corelli – Sonata 12, Opus 5. (bonus some Diego Velázquez paintings)
Antonio Vivaldi – Sonata No. 12 in D minor “La Follia”, RV 63, Op. 1.
Marin Marais – Folies d’Espagne, Pièces de viole for 1 and 2 viols, Book II.
