Iñaki Arakistain: Sax / Flute / Composition / Production
With four of his own discs on the market, "Tiempos de búsqueda" (New Mood Jazz 2008), "Plan B" (Youkali Music 2010), "Saxual" (Youkali Music 2014), "Another Road" (MALAX Records 2018), Iñaki Arakistain has become a musician with an extensive career path, whose standing has been recognized both by the specialized press as well as other artists who have collaborated and/or shared the stage with him. 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 Jazz, Latin Funk, as well as recently merging Flamenco with those styles; thus enriching his new projects united by the common language of jazz. In his facet as a jazz artist, he has played and shared the stage with musicians of the caliber of Jayme Marques, Miguel Blanco, Jerry González, Danilo Pérez, Sean Levitt, Mark Redford, Jean Marie Ekay, Benny Green, Lewis Nash, and many more; with Spanish groups, such as La Calle Caliente, Red House, Wagon Cookin, and also as leader of his own groups.
He has performed at various national & international jazz festivals in France, Portugal, Italy & Spain, and also been on tour of different theaters in Finland with the singer Patricia Kraus, Alfredo Kraus's daughter. He has participated in more than 200 recordings as well as going on tour and performing at concerts with Antonio Vega, Miguel Ríos Big Band, Orquesta Mondragón, Antonio Carmona, Azúcar Moreno, Tontxu, Tennesse & Raphael, apart from collaborating with Miguel Bosé, Ana Torroja, Enrique Bunbury, David Bisbal, Victor and Ana Belén; and featured in the recording of a DVD at a live concert with RAPHAEL in the square – Plaza de Toros Las Ventas de Madrid. He has been on tour with RAPHAEL (50 Años Después, 2009–2010), performing in many countries, such as the USA, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile (Viña del Mar 2010), Puerto Rico & Russia, among others. He is a regular collaborator as saxophonist in various television programs and has also played live with a number of different groups.
Iñaki Arakistain, one of the most versatile and important saxophonists in Spain, presents his latest studio album, "Another Road" 2018 (preceded by: "Tiempos de búsqueda" 2008, "Plan B" 2010 & "Saxual" 2014). A new musical approach always accompanied by excellent musicians from the national and international scene, full of good Groove, Jazz, and Latin Fusion that mixes exotic and deeply rooted sounds such as Flamenco, Brazilian music, Afro-Jazz, and Jazz Funk. Elegant harmonizations and new sounds that travel in a new musical direction from the most actively curious heart of this experienced and experimental saxophonist.
