Iker Goenaga
Txikitxuterik
$15.99
A triki-pop performer who is finally approaching the high-standard set by Kepa Junkera! In much the same vein as his more famous compadre, Iker swerves between folk and pop, adding fine touches of local instrumentation and singers while still producing a pop sound that crosses boundaries with ease. Guests include Xabier Leturia on panderoa and Jon Mujika on txalparta.

The record label says:
Txikitxuterik is the compass card of its author. A meeting point of realities, feelings and inspirations that combines the cold north, the hot south, the damp west and the dry east. This music speaks about worlds that are close and intimate but also universal and lasting; worlds that show a natural vocal and musical identity, effective songs peppered with simplicity, melodic good taste and strength.
Iker Goenaga´s music is very convincing because of the honest credibility it offers. His songs are mainly based on traditional music, which he revises with respect and recognition. They always convey the character of contemporary popular music: they are easy to transmit, sing and feel.
Txikitxuterik also shows a new tone, wider and more elaborate, that reflects the topicality of the band. It contains attractive melodic games of guitar and trikitixa, colouristic rhythmic strains and a suggestive voice that helps us understand that the real value of music lies in its human potential, in the communicative bond created between the singer and the public that makes both feel better.
Good music is, above all, an excellent balm for our life.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
