"We leave open the possibility of returning"

  • The Berri Txarrak group has offered a press conference in Lekunberri to explain the indefinite cessation it announced last year.

The Berri Txarrak group has left many questions open since the “indefinite stop” was announced on 12 December. Many have been the means that have since tried to establish a dialogue with the group and, in response to that curiosity, appeared before the press on Thursday.

Gorka Urbizu, the singer of the group, explained that it was he who made the decision to suspend the concert after talking to his colleagues. “I’m not bored to play, but I don’t see myself with the strength to think and create the group’s next artistic step,” he said, according to the Badok portal.

The other reason for the suspension is the “artistic impulse”, according to Urbizu: “To grow as a creator, I have to put my life’s team aside.”

Urbizu simply explained that he did not take the decision at first. It's been an opportunity that's been on the table in recent years, but it's remembered that the 1,000 concert they played in New Zealand was "a milestone."

He has also added a phrase that may raise the hopes of the hobby: “We open the door back.” That’s why they called him “unlimited pause” and not the end.

Turn divided into three parts

However, the group does not want the 2019 Ikusi Arte Tour to become a “tanatorium”, but a celebration of its 25 years of history. The final tour is divided into three parts: The concerts that will play at the festivals of the Spanish State; those that will play in the Basque Country within the tour "Beude", except those of the end of the Navarra Arena, and those that will do abroad.

In addition, as explained by the Galder Izagirre battery, the aim of the tour is that no Berri txarrak enthusiast is left without seeing the group and can be expelled. That is why in 2019 there will be another concert that has not yet been announced, although it has not given more details.
