Basqe singer and a long time member of the ensemble Haizea
Amaia Zubiria (San Sebastian – Gipuzkoa, 1947) has a marvelous voice and a deep knowledge of traditional song. Together with Txomin Artola she was a longtime member of the ensemble Haizea, and after persuing solo careers for a number of years they came together again to record the beautiful and interesting ‘Folk Lore Sorta’ series of albums of traditional Basque song. Haatik is decidedly contemporary, with touches of rock and jazz throughout, but it never loses the feel of tradition, in the songs, in the delivery and in the attitude.
Amaia Zubiriak (Donostia-Gipuzkoa, 1947), euskal kantagintzako sentikortasunik handieneko ahotsa izateaz gain, errepertorio herrikoiaren ezagupen sakona du. Haizea taldean Txomin Artolarekin batera ibili zen eta bide handia egin zuten elkarrekin. Urte askoan aldendurik ibili ondoren, Euskal Herriko kantu herrikoiaren inguruan Folk Lore Sorta deritzan bilduma eder bezain interesgarri bat sortzeko asmotan bildu ziren berriro.
