It's the East, the West, somebody doesn't like this cultural division of the Basque Country. In the absence of consensus, we have a truth: culture – and music – is linked to territory, or not. In the last three years, Nafarroa Garaia and Beherea have given us the main models to rethink this Basque phenomenon. However, the rest of the latitudes have not been immobile, and as we have often brought in these lines, Bizkaia has its contribution in the form of punches.

Revolution comes from tradition, if not always almost always. Because with the shoulder of giants from past generations you see further away, as Newton said, I think. Well, in Bizkaia tradition takes the form of punk and a new generation takes the witness.

The wave has been territorialized and has taken shape: Wild sounds. We know that without structures there is no art. In the context of this group arises, therefore, Sei Sega, with members who have gone through large groups: Andoni de la Cruz and Jangitz Larrañaga (Vulk, Leather), Jon Salinas (Kotoi, Tatxers), Elena Nuñez (Snake, Machete, Kotoi) and Camilo Tonon (AFFERRA).

There's no unethical aesthetic. The image is punk, but the attitude is punka. Self-management and malaletxea, that is, the seal of Sei Sega. We will see the way forward, but they will certainly not act in the propaganda circle of banks and drinks so fashionable. Possibility of developing a kind of anarchist articulation with direct messages and dance of rigorous melodies, moving away from the increasingly common apolitical art in the Basque scene.

Because I'm going to tell you, singing to happiness, we're already a little bit bored by some Basques. Hundreds, thousands, (millions!) Because flags don't cover all the misery of post-industrial Bilbao. That the rain of Bilbao robs away the sadness and sace to dance the hatred and passions inside us. To reclaim life in the society of the show or to act in one way or another in search of “plummeting”.
