| "Elogio de la charanga". |

Chema García Martínez (El Pais) |
| "The music of Josetxo Goia-Aribe is the milieu of a really creative piece of work". |
|
Juan Claudio Cifuentes (RTVE) |
| "The Navarran, Goia-Aribe, blends a rural tradition with a pure exquisite music with avant-garde touches, with a result that merges into an almost mystical sound of beauty." |
|
Fernando Bezos (Cuadernos de Jazz) |
| "The tenor and soprano saxophone of Josetxo Goia-Aribe offers us a solid example of European creativeness. " |
|
J. De C. (El País) |
| "In my imaginary world, a specialised music press journalist searches endlessly in the hope of finding a jewel. Well, here is an exceptionally well-cut diamond of the highest quality." "... it can be defined as root jazz and jazz fusion with appellation contrôlée: Basque bebop, folk music, landscape art, lamentation and calm..." |
|
Claudi Yoldi, Batonga! |
| "The Navarran saxophonist Josetxo Goia-Aribe has become one of the most imaginative, poetical and personal reference points on the local jazz scene" |
|
Pablo Sanz, El Mundo |
| "This saxophonist has discovered a palette of extraordinary colorful harmony in the music of the Basque country and Navarra." |
|
Luis Martín (ABC) |
REVIEWS
| "The aspirations of Josetxo Goia-Aribe are valiant and at the same time, exquisite." |
|
Xabier Portugal (Gara) |
| "He is a musician who is profoundly original, with a pure exquisiteness - like a shell hidden in the sand." |
|
Iñaki Zarata (Diario Vasco) |
| "A splendid "Herrimiña". A mixture of memory and desire, far beyond anything that goes nowadays in the name of "mestizaje" (a mélange of musical styles). A tour de force of emotion without any overblown strength: majestic." |
|
Antoine Martin (Jazz Magazine) |
| “...Ilhargi-min is a record which stands out for the union between voice and sax, for the stillness of its forms, its contained emotion and praiseworthy valour insofar as harmony is concerned.” |
|
Santi Echevarria, Diario de Navarra |
| "A superb dialogue, Basque and jazz: a pure voice, well known throughout France, accompanied by a sax, a piano and a double bass, all elegantly and soberly expressive" |
|
Anne Marie Paquotte, Télérama |
| "Que la jota tiene fama de música con soporte testicular (brazos en jarra y ¡ahí va esa jota!) es vox pópuli en las tierras donde encuentra eco. Navarra es una de esas regiones joteras, con una tradición que tiene gran eco especialmente en sus zonas ribera y media." |
|
Carlos Pérez Cruz "El Club de Jazz" |
| "En Jota" es un disco en el que alguno de sus títulos, a buen seguro, va a poner los pelos como escarpias a más de uno. En este último trabajo del estupendo saxofonista de Pamplona Josetxo Goia-Aribe que lidera el disco junto a Arantxa Diez observaremos qué magnifico sonido tiene, ...yo creo que es uno de los saxofonistas de la escena nacional de Jazz con un sonido más depurado y de una exactitud prodigiosa. Estamos aconstumbrados a que el Jazz se acerque a lo latino, al flamenco... |
