Xabier Olkoz's quartet adapts here 7 beautiful original songs dedicated to a mythological character from Navarre, dressed in elegant jazz costumes with a magical folkloric mystery. This reveals to us a journey that takes us from the terrible darkness of the night to the dawn and the sweetness of mother earth, amidst echoes of ancestral melodies and zortzikos, as jazz-folk sounds accompany us with warm colors and increasingly intense light.
Alongside the drums and percussion from Xabi Olkoz, there is Jon Zufiaurre on saxophone, Bernardo San Martín on piano, and Jorge Sánchez on double bass, in a classic quartet line-up.
Extraordinary musicians, they have understood, however, that the scope of this proposal goes beyond music. Hand in hand with Bazzkun Proiektuak, they will present the album live with a setup featuring off-screen voices and projections, offering the magical context that this curious work requires.
