Ken Zazpi is a Basque group of pop-rock music created in 1996 in Guernica (Biscay, Basque Country), by Jon Mikel Arronategi (Exkixu bassist) and Eñaut Elorrieta ( Lugarri´s singer). They sing all their songs in Basque, although they have also made versions of some of them in Catalan. In 1996 they released the CD Bi eta bat, in the compilation of Gor Discos label Aurtengo Gorakada 1, entitled "Ken Zazpi" (minus seven).

Until 2000 they did not begin to work in earnest. In that year, the components ,that make up the group today, met and recorded a demo in Mugica (Biscay) with the help of Jose Alberto Batiz. The recording was done in-house recording studio producer Iñaki "Uoho" Antón, then guitarist of Platero y Tu and Extremoduro.

Their acoustic album, Gelditu Denbora ("Stop time" in Basque) led them to a concert tour in the Basque Country, Navarre and Catalonia.
