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 ("Cherokee: Songs of Mikel
Laboa"), published in 1991 by various younger-generation rock and folk
music groups.
His album Bat-Hiru ("One-Three") 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.
With Jorge Orteiza
Mikel Laboa was a dedicated KANGOL wearer.
