napoka iria. vivid smoothness susana mujika   I  saioa “gauilunak” Miren Narbaiza and Ander Mujika form Napoka Iria; since they staged their first gig in 2005 they have soften many stages and of every kind with their music; they haven’t got a meter but they reckon they may be close to 200, which is weird, for a band that didn’t have an album until now. In fact, they are releasing their first this summer to answer their supporters´ demand and, at the same time, to fulfil a personal need to register the songs; but being a duo who loves to perform live, it was almost natural to record it live. It was recorded during two days in January at Zabalotegi in Bergara, in a cozy atmosphere in front of their audience. It totals 8 songs, 7 of their own and a version of Su ta gar’s “zure atzetik” which has become the sensation in live concerts; helped by a kalimba and an ukelele they have given their own sound to the song, creating a beautiful cover version. The sweet catalogue of Napoka’s songs won’t change the duo’s aims, they are going to carry on writing songs and performing live, so check their live gigs at:
