Izaki Gardenak

Izaki Gardenak is a rock band from Vitoria-Gasteiz, formed in 2012 with the aim of arranging musician Jon Basaguren’s songs in a full-band format. Since then, the group has developed an intimate and melodic Basque-language pop-rock sound, paying special attention to lyrics and sonic nuances. The band took its first steps with the EP ‘Itsasargiak’ (2012) and has since released several albums, including ‘Amaieratik hasi’, ‘Aurri gara’, ‘Dena oskol’, and ‘Orube’, released in 2024. In 2025, the band released its latest album, ‘Sitsak’.
