Mikel is one of the biggest male artists of Latin Pop-rock.
He started with a successful career in Duncan Dhu from 1984 - 1992 (although he reunited with Diego Vasallo again for the album Crepusculo in 2001), creating all-time classics like "En Algun Lugar", "La Casa Azul", "A Tu Lado" and "A Tientas".
Then, he went solo and also created great songs in the 1990s, such as "A Un Minuto de Ti", "Suelta las Riendas de mi Corazon", "Rara Vez", "California" and his great cover of The Smiths' song "There is a Light that Never Goes Out" called "Esta Luz Nunca se Apagara".
In 2008, Mikel decided to close a period of his career and recorded a double album with all his hits as a solo artist (8 albums), in duets with different artists (e.g. Enrique Bunbury, Amaia Montero). In his own words, he won't play those songs again:
"Es una despedida de repertorio, no volveré a tocar estas canciones. En las carreras largas hay que saber cerrar etapas y reinventarse, para no aburrirse y para no aburrir al público"
The album is called "Tres noches en el Victoria Eugenia", recorded live in 3 days in late January and early February 2008, and includes 20 hits and two new songs: "Hoy" and "Un Cafe Americano". The album was released in June 2008, and "Hoy" was also recorded in a studio version, and released as a single in late 2008.
It's classic Mikel, with warm and emotional vocals as always :)
