Sestao, 1978
Emerging from the left bank of the Nervión River, close to Bilbao, Ibon RG has been involved in Bizkaia's independent and experimental scene for decades as a promoter, producer, arranger, and above all, as a musician.
In this field, he collaborates with and is part of numerous bands and ensembles, rooted in hardcore, contemporary music, folklore, polyphony, and free improv. With all of them, he has an extensive discography in which he plays several classical instruments (piano, guitar, trumpet, trombone) as well as others more closely related to Basque folklore (txalaparta, txistu, xirula, ttunttun, etc.).
The main focus of his work in recent years is undoubtedly his voice, especially in his solo work. Improvisation and composition intertwine and separate depending on the moment, according to the situation. Lyrical a cappella, atonal and guttural singing are his signature to conform to a repertoire that is as visceral and intimidating in execution as it is solid in message.
