Artist Biography
Available in: gb icon
KORTATU was one of the most influential and pioneer bands in the Basque rock movement. Considered the Basque "Clash", Kortatu mixed the speed of punk with two-tone's ska and soul rhythms, creating a fast, active and unique punk-ska which remind bands such as: Strawman, The Clash, Redskins Newtown Neurotics or Red London. Kortatu was one of the groups known as "Rock Radikal Vasco" (Basque Radikal Rock). They originally sang in Spanish but eventually changed to Euskera (Basque). Founded in Irun in 1984 by Fermin Muguruza, Iñigo Muguruza and Treku Armendariz. Kaki Arkarazo joined the band in its last years. Kortatu published four albums: Kortatu (1985), El Estado de las Cosas (1986), Kolpez Kolpe (1988), Azken Guda Dantza (1988). Some of their biggest hits are cover songs from artists such as Toots and The Maytals (Sarri Sarri, their most known song, is a cover of Chatty Chatty). Disbanded in 1988. Kortatu gave birth to Negu Gorriak founded by Fermin Muguruza, Iñigo Muguruza and Kaki Arkarazo. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kortatu/240340090347 https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kortatu/126773770727556 https://myspace.com/kortatu http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kortatu http://www.kortatu.net/ http://www.discogs.com/artist/660574
