Iragana Betikotzen [Perpetuating the past]: A sonorous journey to immortalise the music of Basque cappuccino composers

18 march 2025

Pianist Josu Okiñena and txistulari Garikoitz Mendizabal present their new album, "Iragana Betikotzen" [Keeping the past alive], under the Ondare Music label, reaffirming their commitment to the recovery and dissemination of the musical heritage of Basque cappuccino composers.

As the title indicates, this work not only rescues compositions from the past, but also brings them to the public for the first time. All the pieces have been recorded for the first time and, in many cases, will be performed in concert for the first time ever.

Through this record and the concerts to come, Okiñena and Mendizabal revalue the Basque musical heritage, offering a new opportunity to discover and enjoy these sonorous gems.

With ‘Iragana Betikotzen’, the performers have chosen Ondare Music as the platform to bring this unique project to life, consolidating the importance of preserving and sharing our musical heritage.

Immerse yourself in this tribute to our musical history and let tradition come to new life through performance!
