Pantxoa and Peio will receive the Adarra Prize
Peio Hospital and Pantxoa Karrere, the couple Pantxoa and Peio, will receive the Adarra Prize in the 13th edition of the Donostia City Council and Donostia Kultura Award.
In 1969 they published their first songs and since then they have published 18 albums. Pantxoa and Peio will put the last one in January 2027, with two concerts at the BEC, to thousands of songs.
According to the jury, composed of journalist Odile Kruzeta, the head of the Euskera Service of Donostia City Council, Edurne Otamendi, and the director of the Lugaritz Cultural Center, Gorka Iribar, Pantxoa and Peio "have shared with several generations" the pleasure of singing "by combining careful interpretations, singing melodies and social engagement."
The couple will receive the trophy made by sculptor Marijose Rekalde on June 21, European Music Day, on the stage of the Victoria Eugenia Theatre (19:00), and will then perform, accompanied by musicians Iñaki Diéguez (accordion), Mixel Ducau (guitar), Dánae Riaño (bass), Gorka Pastor (keyboards) and Josu Erbiti (percussion).
Tickets for the concert will be on sale on Thursday, April 23, for 25 euros on the Donostia Kultura website eta at the lockers of the Victoria Eugenia Theatre and the Main Theatre.
The Adarra Prize was created by the City Council of San Sebastián and Donostia Kultura in 2014 to recognize an artist who has made or is carrying out a career of special importance or influence in the field of Basque music. To date, it has been awarded to musicians such as Mikel Laboa, Ruper Ordorika, Benito Lertxundi, Fermin Muguruza, Anari, Berri Txarrak, Kepa Junkera, Amaia Zubiria, Joseba Tapia, Zea Mays, Errobi and Erbi.
