Bruno, known for a time as Bruno Ilo, Bruno Efímero, and Bru, editor of *Makuto Heyoka*, and a master of meditation, yoga, philosophy, the body, the soul, and the non-definition of the self based on matter.

Silitia is an unclassifiable duo from Bizkaia, comprising Ibai Silicato (Lekeitio, 1997) and Xabier Barrutia (Bilbao, 1999), in which the music – which they themselves describe as ‘brioche pop’ – their stage presence and their artistic vision are all equally important. If you ask them about their style, they’ll tell you they make punky-funky-electro-Basque-rock songs, but above all, Silitia is a multifaceted and constantly evolving project that surprises with every move.
