In his early days he recorded three albums (‘Colores’, ‘Sobrevivremos’ and ‘Íntimamente’) participated in the soundtrack of the animated series ‘Las Mil y Una Américas’ He participated in the album ‘Lliura Urdinak’ with Amaya Uranga and later he recorded ‘Everything has its place under the sky’ in the ranks of the Txarango group. They were very varied, in tune with the career of an all-terrain performer who boasted a very broad vocal range, capable of doing the same justice to the repertoire of Cat Stevens as of João Gilberto or Harry Nilsson. Between pieces, many fans will remember to remember the singer’s records. Larracoechea’s trumpet will sound especially inspired. It is likely that the good weather and the feelings on the surface give wings to the interpretation of ‘Summertime’ on the terrace of the local Getxo. All generosity “, emphasizes Larracoechea before participating in the tribute that will be paid to him at the Igeretxe before a large audience. What a natural talent! He was an unusual human being.
