Mikel Laboa Mancisidor was s Spanish Basque singer-songwriter. He was one of the Basque Country's most important singer-songwriters. Considered the patriarch of Basque music, his music has had an influence on younger generations. A testament to this is the tribute album Txerokee, Mikel Laboaren Kantak, published in 1991 by various younger-generation rock and folk music groups. His album Bat-Hiru was chosen in a reader poll by the local Diario Vasco newspaper as the greatest Basque album in history. Nearly all of his songs are sung in Basque.
