Oh, DIY!
DIY: Do it yourself. Do it yourself. Or your actions. If there's a divine concept in us, and especially in the music world, it's that. In the 1990s, it broke out in these areas, and it looks like it's still a big follower.
In this same magazine we interviewed not so much an amateur musical group as the head of the line, a classic: that they sought the essence of DIY philosophy; a continuous tracking of a kind of sublimation of DIY. Struggle is the way. Almost unique struggle.
The question that comes to mind is perverse, but I am sure they would only manage it if they are consistent: what was Plan B? Or, in other words, if the promoters were keen to organize an endless international tour, with the aim of enriching themselves behind the musicians’ work, they would have missed a management company that managed the group’s massive live sessions, tens of (hundreds?) They would sell. companies, intermediaries, labels, labels?
DIY: 'Do it yourself'. Do it yourself. Or your actions. If there's a divine concept in us, and especially in the music world, it's that.
Because, if none of them is interested, to what extent is the wager radical and not accidental? Does it really have enormous merit, as some musical groups want to sell us in the 1920s? If you have a multinational behind you, and you give up, because you don’t want her to condition your work, or because you think they’re just a bunch of treasury vultures… So yes, then I do understand and admire the choice of having all the aspects of your work controlled.
Making caricature, or continuing with caricature, but not getting too far from reality: either for a special reason, or for mere fetishism, but does culture, art, creative process favor the “manufacture” of 300 albums among the members of the group, as if we were in the school plastic subject? How can this free the author? Who wins?
Another thing is the formation of groups that support themselves, that protect themselves, that try to move forward under an umbrella, and fortunately we have many examples such as Valen, Mukuru, ZART, Erraia, Taupaka, and many others. But if not, those fantastic DIY speeches, aren't they nearly empty? I see him as a self-fulfilling touch, a praise for inferiority, very common in us, as the other said. I am sorry, but at this time I am not convinced.

With the words of poet Vicent Andrés Estellés, I am one among so many cases, and not an isolated, rare or extraordinary case. Unfortunately, no. Among so many, one. In particular, according to the Council of Europe, and among other major institutions such as Save The Children,... [+]
The housing problem is a structural problem that comes from far away. What should be a human right is nothing more than a subjective right. I say that it is a fraud because, although all the institutions and all the political parties say nice words, they do not grasp the... [+]

There are those who say that elections serve only to give legal status to political decisions. And there are not very many who think that way. Okay, but with that, a lot of things are said, among other things, that real power, power, is out of that game.
But, in my view,... [+]

Sometimes you make a blessing, and say where you had to say it, for sure, and when you're done, you want to cry loudly. When everything was over, with the affection of the luggage, he gave you a long hug as if he were holding you.
You might once lie down with a colleague you... [+]
Five decades later, we seem to be leaving behind the Washington Consensus. The climate crisis and, above all, the rise of China have reinvented the interest in leadership and the active participation that the country should have in the economy. The former austerity managers,... [+]
Following the complaint against Iñigo Errejón for machista violence, it seems that some have realised that in parties, unions and leftist institutions, women are not free to receive violence from affiliated men. In addition, it has become clear that in these situations some... [+]
