This musician's career covers a wide range of experience in different musical styles. He has gradually reached his own personal outlook and has managed his own groups and has brought out six discs under his own name.
In his first work, "Auñamendi",
Josetxo Goia-Aribe, together with three Parisian musicians, takes a journey through Navarra which,
while borrowing elements from folklore, takes us to a world of more contemporary sounds.
Then comes "Eunate"
, a musical adventure in which this saxophonist proposes a duo of sax and cello, a none-too-conventional combination which,
with silence as an accomplice, offers 13 unique, suggestive compositions.
His 3rd CD, "Herrimiña"
includes prestigious works of collaboration, a repertoire with Atlantic and Mediterranean airs,
the appearance of voice in the form of the “jota” and a wide range of pieces which lend a special
touch to this album, the younger brother of its predecessors.
His 4th CD "Ilhargi-min"
lends the voice of the French-Basque singer Maddi Oihenart to different classical and contemporary
texts from Basque literature. Piano, voice, saxophone and double bass mould the tone of the latest
offering from this restless, innovative musician. .
Finally, his latest work "La Orquesta Jamalandruki" (The Jamalandruki Orchestra), a four wind-instrument challenge with David Herrington on the trumpet, Marco Bellizzi on the trombone, Luis Orduña on the tuba, Josetxo Goia-Aribe's saxophone, composition and arrangements and Guillermo McGill's great sensitivity on percussion and drums. This is a piece in honour of a long-dead magician called Jamalandruki. Music with
no tricks.
