Benito Lertxundi says goodbye The Basque singer-songwriter par excellence says goodbye to the stage. There is no one like him. I will never have seen him live…He has always caught my attention because of his nostalgia, the smell of sea, the peace that comes from listening to him, his deep voice, the deep Basque feeling…also because of the very good arrangements and musicians that his…
Porco Bravo “En el mismo sitio” I start with this album what could be an interesting section of album reviews or any other musical thing that occurs to me…we’ll see how far it goes or doesn’t go… A member of the band recently came to Kitarshokak and brought me the band’s brand new album. I have to say that I am not a fan but…

This has been a small last minute detail that he thought of inserting into his…

We will try to provide a solution to the problem. It is a vintage Russian fuzz, which in addition to fuzz is wah and tremolo (although…
Electric guitar arrangement on song “Zurekin” by Bulego Every now and then a song grabs me or I just start playing around with the arrangements that come to mind. They tend to be songs that don’t have saturated electric guitars or to which I want to give another approach. And along the way I show a little what I am capable of offering as a…
