The Hertzainak concert begins. Emotion, emotion. Over time, the body is filled with feelings: the work of a group that made an indispensable contribution to the different experiences and juerges of youth. I feel young, enjoying the culture and the play, free.
Many young people of our generation began to immerse themselves in Basque culture through music, listening and singing traditional Basque songs on the street and in bars. It is known that culture is not just school, books, cinemas. The culture of the streets is also part of our culture, “an open road and air for our language to breathe…”. It has long been said that “the singing people will never die.” Today there are those who continue to work with that breath.
I belong to the generation that sang until “Jo ta ke gana”, being one of those who drank daily from the Basque rock from the street fountain. We looked and learned, listened well and matured better. We said “Euskara eta kitto, what is more!” or when we saw Iñaki we realized “how far is there in Cameroon”. “Christian horseback riding in these dark seasons.” In the juerga we sang “often the Christian march for the bafles!” and at the end, we would be happy again, “at parties of any people…”.
“How things change, the camera.” Unfortunately, today “nothing is the same.”
Unfortunately, most young people today prefer strange content to challenge musical and cultural hunger. You just have to go out at night and become aware of what you hear in the bars.
Unfortunately, most young people today prefer strange content to challenge musical and cultural hunger. You only have to go out at night and become aware of what you hear in the bars. I believe that the impact of globalisation and new technologies on our language and society in general is already evident.
When we were told that the Internet would change our lives, we didn't foresee how it could be. So, nothing else to realize, has entered our lives: in our daily lives, in the education of our children, in our streets, in our culture. “This is our corrupt destiny.” Perhaps we have not given him the importance he deserves: some of the tendencies and customs we have with these types of tools can merit reflection, it is possible that what we can hear in the bars is in our hands. Maybe. Many times I think we are increasingly dependent on the products and creators that dominate the devices. What view will former footballer Gerard Piqué have on this issue? I have been convinced that we always wanted a bird.
When I left the concert, I asked my partner and my partner, “What concerts and groups are today’s young people going to see in a few years’ time to remember the times of youth?” Perhaps those who, despite being “more joyful than anyone,” said that in the Basque Country rock an-roll will never give money. “After all,” “we are empty beings” who live in “prefabricated dreams.”
