Sara Zozaya, Arima Soul and Bengo, selected for the second round of ‘Artistas en Ruta’

Sara Zozaya is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Donostia-San Sebastián whose distinctive musical universe blends pop, folk and subtle electronic textures. Her work is characterised by carefully crafted atmospheres, an intimate vocal style and a strong emotional depth. After establishing her artistic identity with ´Nara´ (2023), she released the EP ´attä´ in 2025, an introspective work that explores more ambient and electronic soundscapes. Through this new project, centred on transformation, farewell and personal change, Sara Zozaya opens a new creative chapter while reaffirming her place as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Basque music.

Arima Soul is a musical project founded in Zarautz by Mikel Unzurrunzaga “Makala” and Lidia Insausti. Their music brings together soul, R&B, funk and jazz influences in an original and contemporary repertoire performed in Basque. Following the release of their debut album, ´Arima Soul - 1´ (2022), they returned in 2025 with ´Gaua´, a record that expands their sonic universe and further develops their blend of groove, contemporary soul and funk traditions. With a strong musical identity and an energetic live performance, Arima Soul has established itself as one of the most distinctive acts on today’s Basque music scene.

Bengo is the artistic project of musician Aitor Bengoetxea from Oiartzun. Combining contemporary pop, electronic music and urban influences, he creates songs that resonate with the emotions and experiences of a new generation. He released his debut album, ´Bizirik´, in 2023, followed by ´BELHARRA´ in 2024, a record that marked a significant step forward in his artistic development and broadened his audience. Through carefully crafted melodies, relatable lyrics and a distinctive sound, Bengo has become one of the most promising emerging voices in contemporary Basque music.
