Marina Barredo (viola), Ricardo de Lucas (double bass), and Iñigo Coto (violin) met while studying at the conservatory as teenagers influenced by metal, folk, and rock & roll. Each then followed their path with respective years of training abroad and collaborations with professional orchestras and groups. Years later, they unified their need to create something of their own that defines their understanding of music and decided to seek other means of expression. Their fascination with the txalaparta led them to "Kimu Txalaparta" (Sergio Lamuedra and Txomin Dhers), with whom they began working and founded Basabi. Since 2018, they have been relentless in their effort to popularize classical music and spread the txalaparta beyond its usual spaces. 

Since their creation, they have collaborated with multiple artists: photographer and musician Javier Bejarano, dancer and choreographer Mikel del Valle, visual artist Mikel Belascoain, composers Haizea Huegun and María Mendoza, the musical group Kalakan, and filmmaker Josu Venero. Over the course of 6 years, they have developed 4 shows based on dance, video projection, and singing (Bakun, Kronos, Emeki, and Oma). They have also self-produced two LPs (Kronos and Oma) and have presented them in the following venues and festivals: Teatro Campos Elíseos in Bilbao, Victoria Eugenia in Donostia, Sala Bilborock, Festival Santas Pascuas, Festival Musikaire, Noia Harp International Festival, Loraldia Festibala, Pasaia Maritime Festival, the Portico of the Cathedral of Vitoria, Bilbao Fine Arts Museum, Guggenheim Museum, among others.
