It is often said that travel trains youth, that you have to know how to leave home, meet other people, live in other latitudes, to realize that you are very attached to your roots….
It’s a bit like that, the course of Laurendi Zenekorta…
He grew up in Dax but his family is of Basque origin.
He did not learn Basque, but devoted himself to guitar and singing.
At 25, he left for Asia, for an adventure that would last a dozen years.
Music is never far away, Laurendi enjoys playing in public, and sings in several languages.
In 2020, he returned to the Basque Country, his country of heart: he began to learn Basque, and composed his songs in Basque.
“Beste Mundu Bat”, the observation of a world that is going badly
After his noticed album “Itzi” in 2021, Laurendi Zenekorta begins to make himself known by playing in the bars of Saint Jean de Luz and Ciboure.
In 2022, he publishes this new title, “Beste Mundu Bat”, with a rather black text on the current world, which is going crazy.
Laurendi Zenekorta confirms her sense of melody and touches us with her sensitivity.
