Joseba Irazoki and Lagunak have published a single vinyl with the label Acuarela de Madrid in which two songs can be heard. They're both very good, exciting.
In the songs you can see the air of rock, folk, blues and psychodelia, suggestive melodies. The arrangements and decorations are very elaborate and very well done. Touches, details and small noises appear everywhere, but all are well placed in place.
The illusion is a vivid, powerful song with a slightly crazy rhythm and repetitive melodies as its main axis. The spring sun, on the other hand, is quieter and is composed of beautiful and sweet melodies.
The words of the song Irudipena are based on a text by Xabier Gantzarain (“Without any world a human without world wakes up every day, a world has to be invented that can live every day”) and those of the song Udaberriko eki guzkantua have been written by Beñardo Goietxe (“Let the Sun of the Spring Come, Be Careful or Unconcerned”).
Joseba Irazoki (voice and guitar), Felix Buff (drums), Jaime Nieto (bass), ager Insunza (guitar, pedalsteel and violin), Iban Urizar (clarinet and keyboards) and Ibai Gogortza (saxophone) participated in the recording sessions with Iñigo Irazoki and Jon Agirrezabaga (cover design). They have all done their job very well.
Joseba is an artist, a musician and a great composer, and her friends are great musicians. They're a very well-synchronized little orchestra. They've published a Single, a short but very nice piece of work. I am listening gladly. These days they are being presented in public events. Among others, they will be active in Gorliz on 4 August and in Bilbao on 24 August.

The evolution that the Internet has taken over the last 15 years, together with its technological and business model, makes us think that it is a tool to increase the worst aspects of humanity. Around the world, agents have been created that are not satisfied with this idea... [+]
In recent years, I have made little progress. I have said it many times, I know, but just in case. Today I attended a bertsos session. “I wish you a lot.” Yes, that is why I have warned that I leave little, I assume that you are attending many cultural events, and that you... [+]

They're one of the most beautiful memories I have in my heart. At the time I was doing Basque Philology and we went to a society in Arbizu to a concert by Ruper Ordorika. There were Rikardo Arrangi Diaz of Heredia and Juanjo Olasgrip. I didn't dare to tell Arrangi that I had in my... [+]

It is said that Simone de Beauvoir wrote that the oppressor would not be so strong if he did not have complicit in the lines of the oppressed. It seems very normal to me... What do you want? When you're down, it's also understandable that you want to improve your condition, and... [+]

Many times, after looking at the brumas from my house, it has occurred to me not to catch umbrellas, even though I know I will just soak up. Why will it be? Maybe you don't want to catch the umbrella? Maybe in the hope that I don't get wet? Nevertheless, the conclusion has always... [+]
I remember when I was 16 years old, the Ertzaintza first identified me in a concentration in favor of the Basque Country before the Bergara courts. We believed that in Euskal Herria it was legitimate to cry for the Euskaldunization of the courts, but then there would also be a... [+]
The disaster caused by the cold drop in Valencia has left us dramatic images, both because of the immediate consequences it has had, and because the future awaiting us has brought us forward: that this type of extreme climate phenomena will be increasingly numerous and serious... [+]
