Draft:Xabi Malbadi
| Submission declined on 6 October 2024 by Sir MemeGod (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Formatted improperly, and also slightly reads like an advertisement, which isn't the main issue here though. I'd suggest you read Help:Section, WP:NMUSICIAN and the wikilinks tutorial. I also highly suggest you read the conflict of interest guidelines before continuing. Thanks! :) SirMemeGod 20:52, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Xabier Malbadi (Albiztur, Gipuzkoa, 1991) , also known by his stage name Xabizar, is a trikitilari from Albiztur who comes from a family of musicians, specifically the son of the also trikitilari Iñaki Malbadi and the flutist professor Marta Cocho. Unlike his father, Xabi distanced himself from traditional music from a young age, to investigate other musical styles[1] He began a musical journey with the group Zesuma[2], covering many songs from Fermin Muguruza and Su Ta Gar to Ghostbusters and Sting.
After this 10-year journey, he demonstrated his ability to mix musical styles at the 2017[3] and 2019[4] trikitixa championships, where he performed the well-known Paco de Lucía rumba "Entre dos Aguas" to the rhythm of arin-arin, and the jazz standard "Strasbourg St Denis" by Roy Hargrove to the rhythm of fandango, as well as covering Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" and a medley of "Queen" songs. His time at the championships did not go unnoticed as it brought him the opportunity to participate in several trikitixa festivals (in Altsasua and Oñati). With the aim of inviting more trikitilaris to follow his path, he published a self-produced solo album called "Zero" with 7 covered songs, ranging from classical music (Mozart, Tchaikovsky and Bach) to bluegrass (Dueling Banjos) and Japanese video game music (Mario Bros). [5]
He was also part of the flamenco-Basque group Sonakay and recorded a song with Raimundo el canastero and Kulto Kultibo.
In 2021 he released the single "Zertan Jolastuko Gea?", a cover of "What game shall we play today?" by Chick Corea & Return to Forever, also covering the lyrics brought into Basque and singing them. This time he had the collaboration of other musicians, his mother Marta on the transverse flute, Antton Telleria on drums and Iñigo Ayestaran on electric bass.
He is also dedicated to the manufacture of the triklatu[6], an electronic trikitixa of his own invention and patent that broadens the horizons of the instrument in the same way that the keyboard did for the traditional piano.
