Basque alternative threesome Kortatu was formed in 1983 by brothers Fermín and Iñigo Muguruza, who were joined by drummer Treku Armendariz. Known for its charismatic performances and radical lyrics, Kortatu's self-titled debut album was released in 1985, followed by 1986's El Estado De Las Cosas, and 1988's Kolpez Kolpe. Soon after, while the band was playing at Pamplone, Iruña, a live album called Azken Guda Dantza was recorded. Kortatu disbanded in 1989. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide
