What's it about

Part of the Aitzina Folk 2026 programming. OLD TIME SPOOKS Old Time Spooks is a band from Vitoria-Gasteiz formed by Paula, Joel, Charly and Ruby, born in 2022 with the street as a starting point. Since then, the group has maintained a philosophy linked to playing, traveling and taking advantage of the proposals and stages they encounter along the way, reclaiming public space as a place for music, meeting and artistic expression. Their proposal combines the energy of punk with elements of folk music, using instruments such as banjo, resonator guitar, washboard and washtub bass. Added to this mix are their own songs, in Spanish, that go through horror and gore stories treated with irony and humor. Four years after their formation, Old Time Spooks continues to grow through concerts and a career built mainly from live performances. Their shows are characterized by a frenetic pace, a direct staging and an attitude that maintains the street spirit with which the band was born. FILLAS DE CASSANDRA Fillas de Cassandra has become one of the most relevant Galician musical projects on the current scene. The duo formed by the Vigo natives María SOA and Sara Faro has built an unmistakable artistic identity, where Galician tradition dialogues with electronics, vocal experimentation and a way of composing as sharp as it is emotional. Their proposal turns each concert into a meeting space where popular music is reinterpreted from a contemporary perspective. After bursting onto the scene with their debut album Acrópole and the Últimas Dionísiacas tour, which took them to give more than 130 concerts in barely two years, the duo has continued to expand their creative universe. In 2025 they published Hibernarse, an expanded project in EP, fanzine and videofilm format that reflected on the importance of pause in creative processes. Their new stage arrives with Tertúlia (2026), an album produced alongside Çantamarta that proposes an expansion of their characteristic sound. Percussions, vocal harmonies, traditional music tools and contemporary electronics coexist in a work that oscillates between tenderness, irony and provocation. Conceived as an open square, Tertúlia invites sharing conversations, laughter and contradictions, turning the live performance of Fillas de Cassandra into a collective celebration where the audience is also part of the story told on stage.
