In these years Xabi Aburruzaga has composed hundreds of melodies. Not only his own, collected in his records and concerts.
His works as a composer include numerous commissioned works for institutions, cultural initiatives… and many more.
Additionally, his compositions cover a wide musical range.
At the request of the Bermeo City Council in 2002, Xabi Aburruzaga composed the festival song “Egunaro egunaro egunaro kalien”.
Iñaki Aurrekoetxea created the lyrics, and it was performed by well-known musicians, including Mikel Urdangarin.
n response to the request made by the Zamudio City Council in 2011, Xabi Aburruzaga compiled a collection of songs from Zamudio with the collaboration of Amagoia Gezuraga.
The aim of this project is to collect and adapt the old songs that have been sung in Zamudio. They gathered people from the town and local cultural associations to participate in the performance with professional singers and musicians
Participants in this project included, among others: Natxo de Felipe, Anton Latxa, Amaia Zubiria, Mikel Urdangarin, Xabier Zeberio, Jexux Aranburu, and Jose Urrejola. The sound technician was Mikel F. Krutzaga. Production director: Xabi Aburruzaga Authors: Xabi Aburruzaga – Iñaki Aurrekoetxea Adaptations: Xabi Aburruzaga and Jose Urrejola

In 2020, the Karmelo Ikastola in Bilbao asked Xabi Aburruzaga to compose a song.
Once again, Iñaki Aurrekoetxea, a neighbor and former student, was responsible for creating the lyrics.
In 2022, the city of Portugalete celebrated its 700th anniversary.
To mark this special occasion, the Portugalete City Council commissioned Xabi Aburruzaga to create a melody.
Aburruzaga composed “Zazpi mendeko jauzia”, which premiered on June 11, danced by local dancers as part of the anniversary’s commemorative activities.
With great pleasure and excitement, we present to you the txupinera’s song. I have worked with a great team to prepare this song, and wonderful women have lent their voices to it. Among them, this year’s town crier, Aiora Renteria.
Enjoy and make the song your own!

Erramunen soinua is a publication by the Bizkaia Trikitixa Association aimed at children, composed of books and discs. In the story written by Unai Elorriaga, through the anecdotes of some eccentric characters, the ins and outs of the trikitixa are explained: where it comes from, how it is played, what rhythms are used, etc.
This work has two main objectives: to promote the trikitixa and support its teaching; and to provide material for children, something that has been done very little until now.
This work is composed of books and discs in which you can find stories, songs, lyrics, and scores (with notes aimed at students).
