Background notes
Archive material and source history
Mikel Urdangarin formed the Basque rock band Abendua in 1995 with guitarist Iñaki Leturia and drummer Iñaki Uranga. The band's name means "evening" in Basque, which suited their atmospheric sound. Their debut album "Ilunabarra" came out in 1997, followed by others like "Ura" and "Haize."
Urdangarin grew up in the Basque Country, where he was drawn to traditional forms like bertsolaritza. He also listened to songwriters like Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. Some of his songs, including "Abendua" and "Badira Hiru Aste," reflect that mix of local roots and broader influences.
Abendua developed a following in Spain with their moody, introspective rock. Urdangarin's lyrics sometimes drew criticism for their darker themes, but the band kept playing and recording through the late 1990s and early 2000s.
