After joining Aida Torres, drummer and singer, former member of Lisäbo and Jupiter Jon, as well as an active member of the artistic collective bIDEhUTS; the two together generate an exciting shock wave of harmonies and instrumental experimentation. Their first album was titled “Un dia nuevo” and was released by the Foehn label in 2022.
They have been working on a new album for the past three years. This album has been recorded between the Basque Country and Catalonia, and they plan to release it in 2027.
"Magia Bruta sounded brutal live. Isabel handles the vocals with ease, creating beautiful harmonies.
I see a stellar collaboration there, between those organic beats and those enchanting and immersive melodies,
along with luxurious choral work.”

“Their show was an exercise in overflowing pop imagination, ideal for healing wounds and erasing emotional scars.”

“The duo from the Basque Country raised the BPMs and delivered a live show with an important electronic foundation to
beautify and accompany pop songs. Experimental sounds and a lot of harmony
by two talented masters to move us and vibrate equally.”
LaCarne Magazine
“Without a doubt, it was the concert that generated the most anticipation, with the front rows filled and
that huge expectation when checking how these new songs would unfold live.
The result was a proposal that appealed to the aesthetics of crystal-clear pop while
also betting more than ever on the energy of live percussion and
moments where the electronic component became as intense as possible.”

“Something as fundamental as the audience showing respect for what is happening on stage—regardless of whether that performance was the primary reason for buying a ticket—ought to be a given, yet it often cannot be taken for granted.
Fortunately, on this occasion, it was. Perhaps it was the well-chosen lineup, or perhaps it was simply that Magia Bruta left no room for doubt, delivering the songs from their full-length debut, *Un Día Nuevo*, with a staggering sound.
Electronic drums, programmed beats, a heavily processed Rickenbacker, and fantastic vocal interplay —with Isa shining and Aida providing precise backing— ensured that every pause between songs was filled with applause from the floor and expressions of gratitude from the stage.”

“It is a sheer delight to revel in the whirlwind of warm colors in "Lees mi mente"—adorned with delicate floral visuals—or to soak up the essence of summer in the dead of a winter night (visuals included), thanks to the summery—and strangely melancholic—evocation of "Lo merezco."
And the sound is impeccable. All in all, the forty-minute set flies by in a flash, and the audience’s applause is unanimous and well-deserved.”
