Betagarri is a Spanish ska band from Vitoria-Gasteiz in the Basque Autonomous Community. It was formed in 1993, but it was not until February 1997 that they recorded their first album, Betagarri, with the Vitoria record company 'Mil A Gritos', who also produced their second work, Arren Erro Zaharra, a year later.
The history of this group from Vitoria is a bit unlikely. Gontzo, Iñaki and Aitor colleagues were already accustomed to partying with the nom de guerre of Betagarri, but never imagined they would end up forming a group with this name. It all started when Gontzo won an electric guitar in a television contest. As Iñaki sang in a choir and Aitor used to play a Spanish guitar, they started playing some stuff and got to know more people.
