Belako, from Mungia (Biscay), Spain and formed by Josu, Lore, Cris and Lander, began in 2011. The brothers, Josu and Lore, started playing covers and was then joined by Cris and Ibon, who would later leave the band. They were then joined by Lander, who has been with them ever since.
In March 2013, they released their debut album ‘Eurie’, with a tour throughout Spain which included more than 50 shows, including some important festivals and venues: San Sebastian Jazz Festival, Kutxa Kultur Festibala, Sala Razzmataz, Sala Apollo, Sala BUT. The band have also opened for important artists and groups such as Elvis Costello, Crystal Fighters, and Shout Out Louds. In the summer of 2013, while touring, they were chosen as TALENTO FNAC, which lead them to extend their tour.
The retro-futurist sounds that the band characterise don’t follow any concrete style but mix raw punk-rock and hot environments of the symphonic electronics. Despite singing the majority of their songs in English, the band is also proud to sing in Basque. Their shows are full of energy with the freshness and motivation of the young members of the group.
