Marte Lasarte

Marte Lasarte is a new electronic pop and rock band from Donostia, formed by Pello Armendariz and Borja Antón following the dissolution of the band Skakeitan. This new personal project brings together the extensive career and stage experience accumulated by both musicians. Their first singles, ‘Basamortua’ and ‘Marte Lasarte’, released in 2024, build a sound rooted in danceable rhythms, synthesizers, and catchy melodies, addressing contemporary relationships, imagery, and contradictions through light yet nuanced lyrics.

Artistas en Ruta

The aim of Artistas en Ruta is to bring new talent to a wider audience. Many of the singer-songwriters and bands that are well known today have taken part in Artistas en Ruta, including Mirua, Hilario Rodeiro, Silitia, Verde Prato, Neomak, Ødei, Parabellum, MICE and Olaia Inziarte, among others.

Artistas en Ruta is supported by the Etxepare Basque Institute.
