Novelty is usually one of the most heard words associated with the Durango Fair. The novelty is there, and here's the novelty. However, in some cases it is sufficient to give a different aspect to the previous one to paste that label. The CDs and remastered reeditions with renewable talent appear to have a place.

It is difficult to highlight in times when products die before birth. As in other areas, it is increasingly difficult in the music industry to know how to get the interest of the listener. My attention has focused this year on the Izukari group, which has not published provocative video clips or its eye-catching clothing, but because Ikari’s first album is not available on Spotify and Youtube platforms.

The musicians Joseba Baleztena and Mikel Larratxe, who have worked together at Sexty Sexers, have reflected a lot on the subject. Arantxa Iturbe and Nekane Peñagarikano were on the Arratsean program presenting their new album, and both have doubted the harm their presence could have on Spotify. “Is it that being there is a guarantee of space in the world?” says Baleztena. The musicians also invite the musician and the listener to reflect, asking “what kind of audience are we creating?”

How, then, can you call the exit of a house of monopolizing discs and fall into the hands of an even more savage beast? In response, I do not want to be corrupt, I can no longer imagine, for years I did not think, far from it, that the control of the futures, Odei Barroso and Benizz, have sung in Ahotsenea, on the occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of the Badok portal.

Despite his joy, there does not seem to be too many reasons to blow the candles hard, as Badok is still not the first choice for listening to Basque music. At the very least, it will not be for lack of offer, as in it you can find 1,502 groups or musicians, 2,896 video clips, 4,672 albums and 38,705 songs. Now I was thirty-eight thousand seven hundred five. Also news, interviews and/or musika-zerrendak.ere about groups. As Joxean Artze advanced us, what is wanted and what is given to it.

So there is an alternative. We just need to choose the way.
