Only an indifferent person can think that the singing of birds is always the same," Rosa Luxembourg told Sophie Liebknecht, in one of the letters sent to his friend from prison. It's not going to always be the same, but only listening to me would I not be able to know who is singing when. What I do know is that with spring I started singing this year Mirua and to finish the crazy week I made Oñati at the last moment on Sunday night (now I am discovering what it is to have a car, flipante). By the way, a good excuse to meet Antixena and meet an old friend.

The atmosphere of the Gaztetxe is that of Sundays at night. On the one hand, the young people of the village (and not so young), the backers in the high stools, the Cheetos pandilla bags, of the hand, walk by hand and some who have not retired from the Sabbath. And on the other hand, a few of us who are not the people.

The trio tolosarra enthusiastically resumed the presentation tour of the new LP after the moment. Although they haven't had an easy place to start, they've been motivated, happy and comfortable looking outside and it's not the norm. They've shown us a pristine nova in the testing phase, we started playing live to see people's feelings. I liked it. There is an acoustic and electric guitar on stage, in addition to digital devices, but beyond them, in their songs the string instruments have an important place, either as an intro, or as opposed to singing. You notice they come from that world.

In addition to the LP songs released in November, they have also offered their collaboration with Beñat (Pamplona) and the version of the Oskorri Goizen Tatxers song (Pamplona). I have to admit that in general I find it difficult to enjoy the versions. I find it very clear when I think the version “exceeds” the original and when it does not add much. And in this case it seems to me that Mirua has not been completely invented. But it's forgiving, we've all felt the temptation to translate that singing.

Apart from this detail, these people sing very well. That is the case. And no, I'm not going to go into boomerkeria saying that singing so well, I don't understand why so much effect on the voices, lesser evil… I'm not going to start, but a bit yes. And not because one is more or less like the other, but because whoever sings like these without any additive (in my humble opinion) could take advantage of that path more, because in addition to what others do they have as peculiarity. I've seen a lili in three voices that have made the first part of the song version, and I've been looking forward to
more ("gara", I would say). More versions of this kind, please. If you can, follow Mirua's flight.
