Piperrak
Piperrak was a Spanish punk band from La Ribera (Southern Navarre and Northern La Rioja). The band started in 1990. They recorded two demos between 1990 and 1992, and two albums between 1994 and 1996, getting a certain transcendence in the Spanish punk scene. In 1997 there was a change of guitar when Javi joined the band. The name comes from the horticultural tradition of his area as "Piperrak" means "peppers" in Basque language. The band had a temporary withdrawal from November 1998 until January 2007. The band disbanded in 2010.

Navarre
Navarre (; es, Navarra ; eu, Nafarroa ), officially the Chartered Community of Navarre ( es, Comunidad Foral de Navarra, links=no ; eu, Nafarroako Foru Komunitatea, links=no ), is a foral autonomous community and province in northern Spain, bordering the Basque Autonomous Community, La Rioja, and Aragon in Spain and Nouvelle-Aquitaine in France. The capital city is Pamplona ( eu, Iruña). The present-day province makes up the majority of the territory of the medieval Kingdom of Navarre, a long-standing Pyrenean kingdom that occupied lands on both sides of the western Pyrenees, with its northernmost part, Lower Navarre, located in the southwest corner of France. Navarre is in the transition zone between Green Spain and semi-arid interior areas, and thus its landscapes vary widely across the region. Being in a transition zone also produces a highly variable climate, with summers that are a mix of cooler spells and heat waves, and winters that are mild for the latitude. Navarr ...

Discos Suicidas
Disco is a genre of dance music and a subculture that emerged in the 1970s from the United States' urban nightlife scene. Its sound is typified by four-on-the-floor beats, syncopated basslines, string sections, brass and horns, electric piano, synthesizers, and electric rhythm guitars.
