Mikel Vega is an outstanding musician on the experimental scene in the Basque Country today, who has left the mark of his talent on such fundamental rock bands as Loan, Orbain Unit, Conteiner and, above all, Killerkume. Not in vain, since the artist from Sestao embarked on his solo career, he has become a point of reference for the improvised music scene.
With hours of experience on stages all over Europe and a list of collaborations that includes, among others, Black Earth, Imbernon, Jörg A. Schneider, Garazi Gorostiaga, Wolkokrots, Xabi Strubell and of course Miguel A. García (who introduced him into the free scene), moments of contemporary experimental guitar that deserve to be heard pass through Mikel Vega’s hands.
Since he debuted with «Powndak Improv» in 2021, Vega’s discography has not stopped adding references. If we discount the amazing trio he forms with Joseba Agirrezabalaga and Izaskun Simón, or his duo with Xabi Strubell (called Bidai), that makes a total of six albums, to which we now add his latest and most ambitious studio work to date, «Tresneria».
