Amaia Zubiria

Amaia Zubiria is a celebrated Basque singer born in Usurbil, Gipuzkoa in 1947 and is widely recognized as one of the most important voices in Basque popular music. She first rose to prominence in the 1970s as part of the influential group Haizea, alongside Txomin Artola, blending traditional Basque folk elements with contemporary influences. Over a career spanning four decades, Zubiria has released numerous solo and collaborative albums—like "Haatik" and "Amonaren Mengantza"—exploring both modern and traditional Basque songs, and has become a beloved figure for her pure, emotive voice and her dedication to preserving Basque musical heritage.

Her work extends beyond music into soundtrack contributions for several films, including "La fuga de Segovia" and "Zergatik Panpox," making her artistry integral to both the Basque music scene and wider Spanish culture. Known for combining heartfelt lyricism with a deep connection to the Basque language and identity, Amaia Zubiria remains a dynamic live performer and a respected mentor to new generations of Basque musicians.
