Ongi Etorri

Welcome to the site of Miren Aranburu (basque singer)

"The Basque language has rarely, if ever, been used in this context. Intricate Jazz-Funk grooves back up fluttery female vocals, singing in Basque. The vocal style floats somewhere between jazz singing and freestyle rapping. Delicate, romantic jazz ballads feature bass clarinet and vocals, both of which tug at the heart strings and induce wild flights of fancy. The band revels in sensuous mid-tempo swing and seductive, electric Bossa Nova. The vocalist's smooth, vibrato-less alto recalls Astrud Gilberto, while the saxophone's subtle romanticisms evoke classic Getz. Anyone who doesn't understand Basque will find the vocals deliciously exotic; anyone who does will find subject matter ranging from poetic romance to fervent anti-militarism. And the music's just pure, hedonistic pleasure."
