Iban Urizar is the man behind one of the most pleasant and exciting surprises in recent times: a collection of five songs representing the outstanding launch of his project Amorante.
The ethnomusicologist from Guipuzcoa, a multi-instrumentalist forged in many different projects, takes a step forward and joins the refreshing front of artists willing to shed prejudices and bring musical tradition out of the closet.
His proposal blends a number of genres that disorientates the listener but places them in familiar territory. From the Basque Country but with his sights set on the horizon, Amorante tinges his compositions with oriental and flamenco influences, all types of music come together in a suggestive and nuanced discourse.
