Aitzina Folk faces a weekend in Vitoria-Gasteiz with two very different nights. On Friday 13th, Otxo bring Basque and Occitan music to Izaskun Arrue Kulturgunea, with tickets sold out for weeks, according to the festival. On Saturday 14th, the Jimmy Jazz venue brings together Galician duo Fillas de Cassandra and local Vitoria-Gasteiz band Old Time Spooks for the only concert of the weekend for which tickets can still be bought.
Fillas de Cassandra and Old Time Spooks, Saturday at Jimmy Jazz
The festival is billing this night as an event aimed at a young audience, and is offering discounted tickets for under-18s and youth card holders. Fillas de Cassandra, the duo of Vigo-born María SOA and Sara Faro, blend Galician tradition with vocal experimentation, percussion and electronics. They arrive with “Tertúlia”, their second album, released in 2026 and produced with Çantamarta, following their debut, “Acrópole”, whose tour exceeded 130 concerts in two years, according to the festival.
They share the bill with Old Time Spooks, a Vitoria-Gasteiz band formed on the street in 2022 and made up of Paula, Joel, Charly and Ruby. They play punk on folk instruments such as the banjo, resonator guitar, washboard and washtub bass, and sing horror and gore stories in Spanish with irony and humour.
Saturday prices and times
Doors at Jimmy Jazz (Calle Coronación de la Virgen Blanca, 4) open at 20:00 and the concerts start at 20:30. The festival's ticket sales offer these prices:

Otxo, this Friday and sold out
The Otxo concert at Izaskun Arrue Kulturgunea is sold out. The duo of Maider and Lolita, formed in 2019, combine Basque and Occitan music with influences brought back from Quebec, Galicia and Brazil, and released their first album, “Kokinak”, in 2024. Ticket holders should check the time: the festival's ticket sales list the concert at 20:30, Tuesday's press release mentioned 19:30, and the ticket sales page itself warns that times are provisional.
