sax,
Musician of Jazz and R&B/Soul

IÑAKI ARAKISTAIN SAX / FLUTE / COMPOSITION / PRODUCTION Versatile instrumentalist, quoted session musician and jazz musician to the core, the saxophonist IÑAKI ARAKISTAIN, in addition to sharing recordings and scenes with many of the most important musicians of the national jazz and commercial music, and even international, has managed to carve out a solid reputation in the Spanish jazz scene with their personal musical projects always intoxicated of Grooves and Funk essence in addition to very recently fused Flamenco with these styles, enriching their new projects as well. A path that starts in 2008 with TIEMPOS DE BÚSQUEDA (New Mood Jazz), devout Declaration of jazz principles that mixes without complexes Hard Bop and Latin Jazz; continues in 2010 with PLAN B (Youkali Music) a work of overwhelming confirmation of Jazz Funk, Grooves and flavors from Brazil, and ends in 2014 with SAXUAL (Youkali Music), his third LP, recorded live, in one evening, to the old style. A new and exciting twist to the inexhaustible rhythmic impulse of Funk, with feet firmly in place at the original root and ear tuned to the sounds of the future. More beyond Acid Jazz and Downtempo and Jazz Fusion in different styles, in a territory in which very few musicians of our country faced with such self-confidence and authority. IÑAKI ARAKISTAIN – NEW ALBUM “ANOTHER ROAD” Iñaki Arakistain opens us to a musical concept unprecedented until now in Spain made by a saxophonist, in which Groove music coexists, with influences from Brazilian music, Latin Funk, as well as recently merging Flamenco with those styles, thus enriching its new projects united by the common language of jazz. He has released his new album “ANOTHER ROAD”, his 4th studio ALBUM, made up of excellent musicians from the national and international scene, full of good “Groove Latin” that mixes exotic sounds with roots as deep as Flamenco, Brazilian music, Afro-Cuban folklore and music. African-American as the Funk. Elegantly constructed harmonies and new sounds that travel towards a new musical direction from the most disturbing heart of this experienced and experimental saxophonist.
