Probably the most loved and admired Basque singer, Mikel Laboa is also a reflection of an era, a geography and a community; an artist unanimously recognised for his instinct for distilling tradition, his mischievous nature and the cathartic power of his voice. But how could we take up the challenge of recounting the life of a shaman in pictures? Laboa’s fun, ground-breaking profile rules out any temptation to be conventional. Far from conventional biographies, the authors of this graphic novel call on the spirit and humour of his songs, inviting readers to immerse themselves in the region where the streams of reality flow into an ocean of boundless invention.
