On Friday, September 11, Neomak will take the stage. This musical project, formed by four women, reinterprets Basque tradition from a contemporary perspective. Their second and most recent album, Lazturak Orbain, explores themes such as personal changes, fears, and life's scars.
The following day, Saturday, September 12, the powerful and energetic sound of Kaotiko, the punk-rock band from Agurain (Araba), will follow. With an extensive career in the rock scene, their lyrics combine social criticism, daily experiences, and a defiant attitude.
Galdakao's Santakurtzak festival will offer four musical nights at Ardanza Park, from September 11 to 19, featuring a diverse range of styles.
Performances at Ardanza Park will continue on September 18 with Les Testarudes, a group of ten women from Barcelona. With their ska, rocksteady, and reggae music, they advocate for female presence on stage and the visibility of their work, both in composition and performance.
The concert lineup for Galdakao's Santakurtzak will conclude on Saturday, September 19, with Latzen. This Basque rock group from Oñati (Gipuzkoa) is considered one of the prominent Basque rock bands of the 90s. Their music is characterized by powerful guitars, intense melodies, and Basque lyrics that address both personal and social issues. The band has resumed its journey, renewing its quartet and recently releasing their new album, Denboraren orbainak.
