We met Artur Blasco (1933) at his home in Arsèguel, a small village in the Alt Urgell region, where he has lived for over sixty years. There, he worked tirelessly, over the past sixty years, to recover the diatonic accordion and the popular songs of the Pyrenees and their presence "in the old days" in the Pyrenees. We found him surrounded by recorded tapes in different formats, papers, scores, books, instruments, and hundreds of unpublished and unique documents, which he has collected over the years. A musician, researcher, and educator, he has been awarded the National Culture Prize (2004), the Sant Jordi Cross (2001), and the Civic Action Prize from the Lluís Carulla Foundation (1998), among others.
