Until now, Xabier has played in electric English psychedelic and progressive rock-oriented bands, developing, and keeping his acoustic folk side in secret. As in many other cases, it was the pandemic break that made him dive into this world and write his first songs. It was also the moment when he made the conscious and sincere decision, in accordance with the intimate content of his lyrics, to sing in his native Basque language.
Far from sophisticated studio arrangements, Xabier Badiola recorded these 10 songs in a home environment, with great care. The greatest and most beautiful songs are often the ones that are best enjoyed and appreciated in their purest simplicity, without any accompaniment at all. And whether this is a temporary and unique initiative or a long-term project, there is no doubt that one of the most fascinating treasures to be heard today and here in the Basque Country music scene has just fallen into our hands.
