En Tol Sarmiento known as ETS, a group born in Yécora (Rioja Alavesa) in 2005, is one of the most influential and popular musical groups in the Basque language, both inside and outside the Basque Country. With a career spanning more than two decades, its history began with a few friends united by their passion for playing, who went from entertaining pilgrimages and local festivals to filling venues with thousands of people with their powerful live performances. Their sound base is based on ska-rock and festive rhythms with lyrics in Basque and Spanish, but over the years they have integrated elements of pop, reggae and even urban influences in recent songs. This has allowed them to connect with a very wide audience without losing their identity. The ETS phenomenon transcends the strictly musical. In March 2025 they celebrated their 20th anniversary with three concerts at the Bizkaia Arena (BEC) that sold out more than 45,000 tickets and became the biggest event in the history of music in Basque. The show "20 urte zure eskutik" was broadcast by ETB2 with record audiences of over 336,000 viewers, consolidating the group's cultural impact. The band has released several studio albums over the years: Vendimia Seleccionada (2008), Hacia la Luna (2012), Zure Mundua (2014), Beldurrik ez (2015), Ametsetan (2017), Aukera Berriak (2019), Guretzat (2022). Their most recent album, Konkista (2025), has been described by the band as their most personal and experimental project, with eleven songs that deal with deep emotions. With Konkista, ETS is preparing a comeback tour in 2026, offering concerts in large venues such as the Movistar Arena (Madrid), the Palau Sant Jordi (Barcelona) and, of course, also at the Keler Gunea as part of the 61st San Sebastian Jazz Festival. This stage represents a synthesis between the festive, the emotional and the introspective, reaffirming their commitment to connect hearts without renouncing their cultural and linguistic roots.
