Kepas first contact with music came via his aitite (maternal grandfather) who at village dances accompanied Kepas mother on tambourine when she started out as dance partner to the famous Txilibrin.
Kepa live is an inexhaustible source of colour and rhythm, adding to the nuances of his music enthusiasm, honesty, genius, versatility and passion.
Their concerts are a constant renewal of material already released by Kepa under his own name or in his many collaborations with other artists, and of unreleased and new material.
