This ambitious project marks a profound meeting point between tradition and the avant-garde. Delorean, the internationally acclaimed electronic pop band from Zarautz, pays tribute to Mikel Laboa (1934-2008), the most iconic and transformative figure in contemporary Basque culture.
Far from a simple cover album, Delorean worked with the original multi-track master tapes from Laboa’s recordings, deconstructing his voice and melodies to build a new sonic universe. The result is a seamless blend of rhythmic drive, electronic textures, and live instrumentation that honors Laboa’s experimental spirit.
It is a "quasi-tantric" musical experience where subtle harmonies meet deep cultural symbolism. By bridging Laboa’s poetic legacy with modern electronic language, Delorean ensures that his genius continues to resonate with new generations worldwide. As the Basque proverb goes: "New water always flowing from the ancient spring."
