BEA ASURMENDI

Bea Asurmendi is a Basque-born, London-based vocalist and composer who blends contemporary jazz with the earthy textures of Basque and Iberian folk. Her music weaves rich harmonies, storytelling, and improvisation into an intimate yet expansive live experience.

Drawing from her acclaimed debut album Asteartea—sung in Basque, Spanish, and English—Bea explores stories of womanhood inspired by goddess mythology, creating a powerful, atmospheric soundworld that is both personal and universal.

A Guildhall School of Music & Drama graduate and Help Musicians UK Next Level Award recipient, she has performed at leading UK venues and festivals including PizzaExpress Jazz Club, the 606 Club, Jazz in the Round, Soho Jazz Festival, and the EFG London Jazz Festival. In 2023, she opened for Ari Hoenig at Milton Court Concert Hall and returned in 2024 for a sold-out headline show.

As part of the Asteartea tour, she has performed internationally at venues such as the Guggenheim Museum, Coliseo Theatre, and Altxerri Jazz Club. Her music has been featured on BBC Radio 3, One Jazz Radio, Jazz FM, and Basque National Television.

Featuring Bea Asurmendi (vocals), Giovanni Cresseri (bass), Gianluca Corona (guitar), Milena Granci (piano), and Filippo Galli (drums).

A timely debut by a global star-in-waiting... an otherworldly sonic universe
— Songlines
A beautifully mature and explorative work with real range, not only in the exploration of difficult topics but also in the soundworld itself
— UK Jazz News
Bea’s essence lies in every single musical moment of this stunning album. Her voice is sincere and honest in a disarming way: strong and pure at the same time
