"After 20 years of unrest, I find it harder every day to cope with this emotional and physical exhaustion. Right now our rhythms are not going to match and we are not in a position to follow 100%," the statement continues. -I need to stay, take a distance. It's so complicated and so simple."

In the text released this Wednesday at noon, Urbizu explains that there are many ways to understand music and creativity, "but from a moment now almost everything is questioned. You have to decide what kind of relationship you want to have with the inertia that is always at the door. Close eras and try to start new ones. In other words, keep learning."

The pause will come after the 2019 tour

After the long tour they have prepared in 2019, the group has decided to make an "indefinite stop" and has communicated it to the fans. In addition, they have announced that in the coming days they will release all the details of the Arte Tour 2019 tour, which will begin this Saturday.

The Berri Txarrak group has released nine albums, a documentary and a collection of singles. Over 100 songs and over 1,000 concerts around the world.

"We leave, but the leitmotiv that we insert in each chord will last eternally in us: JAIO.MUSIKA.HIL That, innovation buffs, nobody can take it away from us. A squeeze on each", Urbizu's statement on behalf of the group has ended.
