Background notes
Archive material and source history
Oriamendi formed in the Basque Country of Spain in the mid-1960s, taking their name from a phrase meaning "Mountain of Song." They were a group of musicians who worked with traditional Basque folk material, including Mikel Laboa on vocals, Benito Lertxundi on guitar, and Jose Angel Irigarai on accordion.
Their song "Por Dios, Por La Patria y El Rey" came out in 1967 and became widely known as an anthem. Its themes of Basque identity resonated with listeners during a period when such expressions faced official restrictions under the Franco regime.
The band released albums like "Oriamendi" in 1967 and "Gora Euskadi" the following year. Their music, rooted in folk traditions, became part of the cultural landscape in the Basque Country.
