ETS is one of the most listened groups in Basque and one of the most important phenomena in the Basque Country. Their catchy melodies have been able to reach an ever-wider audience. The group was formed in Yécora (Rioja Alavesa) in 2005 by three of the five members that make up the group today, Iñigo, Floren and Campi. The trio, influenced by groups like Kaotiko, La Polla Récords, Kortatu, Piperrak, Boikot or Reincidentes, began to cover punk-rock songs. Within a few months, they also began composing their own songs.
Subsequently, the incorporation of the trumpeter Rubén Terreros and the trombonist Javier Lucas closed the configuration of the Riojano-Alavés quintet: guitar, drums, bass, trombone and trumpet. In 2012 they recorded their first professional album, “Hacia La Luna”, which will be followed by “Zure Mundua” (2014), “Beldurrik Ez” (2015), “Ametsetan” (2017), “Aukera Berriak” (2019)and “Guretzat” (2022). The group is currently presenting their latest album and has become one of the groups with the most influence on music in the Basque Country. In addition, they have a powerful, energetic live show where they manage to make a large part of the audience dance, laugh and move.

El Drogas
Enrique Villareal, singer, bassist and leader of the extinct Barricada, is a person loved by the entire world of rock and roll. Barricada was a rock music group formed in 1982 in Pamplona (Navarra) and disappeared in 2013. The rawness of their compositions, halfway between hard rock, punk rock and heavy metal, made them pigeonhole within the music scene urban rock. With 15 studio albums and more than a thousand concerts behind them, they have been one of the most consolidated groups within the Spanish rock scene, with the award of the Diamond Record for the sale of more than a million albums throughout his career.
His solo discography starts with the acoustic 'Libros prestados' (2012) and that same year he publishes an EP called the same as him - El Drogas - to publish a year later "Demasiado tonto en la corteza." A mixture of visceral rock in the musical and an accused lyricism in its letters. This was followed by "Sombras que la luz grita" (2016), “Solo quiero brujas en esta noche sin compañía” (2019) and “El largo sueño de una polilla” (2022). An endangered rock animal.
Bulego
Bulego is a band made up of Tomas Lizarazu (voice), Rubén Lizarralde (guitar) and Xabier Arrieta (drums). Formed in Azkoitia in 2019, the lively and luminous pop of this Basque group has managed to surprise an increasingly loyal audience. The personal aesthetics and musical energy of its members, in addition to their tireless desire to surprise their listeners, make them one of the new promises within the framework of Basque music.
Its brief track record has been meteoric; they have reached number 1 on the Gaztea charts several times with songs like "Pizten ari da" and "Bueltan da!!!", the latter being chosen as the song of summer 2021 by the station. From the release of its first two EPs in 2020, through its debut on stage just a week before the lockdown, to the release of its debut album, Erdian Oraina, in December 2021, its fame and popularity have not more than grow.
Danny Ocean
Daniel Morales, better known as Danny Ocean, is a Miami-based Venezuelan Latin, reggaeton, dancehall and moombahton singer-songwriter who went from being a complete unknown to an urban music star. The artist has become a global phenomenon that has achieved impressive popularity in a very short period of time. In 2016 he released the song "Me Rehúso", which became the most listened song of the decade in Latin America. His father is also a musician (pianist) and greatly influenced his growth in music and professional career.
Huntza
Huntza is a music group that emerged on the streets of Bilbao in 2014. It is made up of six young people from Gipuzkoa gathered in the University environment. Their goal is none other than spreading the music they create. Now, after almost a decade of existence, they announce their separation. Under the title “Azkena balitz bezala / As if it were the last one”, Huntza promises to enjoy each of their remaining performances in this way and Sagüés's will be one of them. Huntza has completed almost ten years of bringing his melodies, the trikitixa and the Basque language to many corners of the Basque Country and the world through the fusion of Basque folk with harmonies and rhythms close to pop.
During this time, the group has offered close to 250 concerts, created more than 30 songs and released three albums: "Ertzetatik", in 2016; "XIlema", in 2018; and "Ezin ezer espero", in 2021. The group intends that this legacy be kept alive beyond 2024, when the group leaves the stage. "We hope that once the lights go out, Huntza's music will continue on, both in the squares and streets, as well as in bars and gaztetxes"
Antonio Carmona
After more than 20 years as the singer of the group Ketama, which sells a million albums, in 2006, the singer from Granada Antonio Carmona published his solo debut, “Vengo venenoso”. In addition to being a great composer, he is a singer with a very personal voice and a percussionist who is raffled off by artists of the stature of Alejandro Sanz.
After the success of Ketama, Antonio Carmona embarks on his solo career. “Vengo venenoso” (2006) is the first solo album by Antonio Carmona. An album made up of ten songs in which he captures his own concerns, with a sound far from that of Ketama. A minimalist album, without too much instrumental sound. Five years later, he reinvents himself for the umpteenth time with "De noche" (2011), which constitutes a perfect summary of the singer's vital and artistic career, with songs that, without renouncing flamenco, open up to sounds more typical of other lands, especially, the American ones, and in which an optimistic and luminous spirit beats. Obras son amores (2017) is the third solo album by Antonio Carmona.
