Editor's note

Duncan Dhu, the Basque folk-pop trio

A Spanish band from the 1980s that blended folk, pop, and rock with songs like 'En Algun Lugar.'

For a quick sense of their style, try 'En el andén' or 'La Barra de Este Hotel.' They're clean, melodic, and just a little wistful.

They came out of Spain's Basque Country in 1984 with a sound that felt both local and accessible, mixing accordion and keyboards into straightforward pop tunes. Songs like 'En el andén' and 'Cien gaviotas' gave them a steady presence through the '80s and '90s, even with a plagiarism claim that didn't stick. Their dual lead vocals from Mikel Erentxun and Diego Vasallo kept things varied across 11 studio albums.

The band formed in 1984 and put out 'Por Tierras Escocesas' the next year. They released records like 'Arrantzale' and 'El Grito del Tiempo' before splitting up temporarily in the late '90s, then reuniting in 2001.
