Burning skyscrapers
- From the top of the hill, field width. From narrow and short streets to large and long avenues. From old and small houses, to endless skyscrapers. From closed rooms and gaztetxe to the outdoor sports space. It is July 29, 2020 and we have needed a global pandemic to be able to enjoy the cultural offer in the Vitorian neighborhood of Salburua. For some it will be one of the collateral damages of COVID-19, but for others it will be a dream full of many years.
The Izaki Gardenak group is the main protagonist of today’s quote, but with it will collaborate the protection and health measures established by the new normality. It is special today, the site is not usual, the format is unknown and the situation is curious. We are in a public football field in the most recent neighbourhoods of the periphery of Vitoria-Gasteiz, but a black canvas surrounds us. The invitations are exhausted, the mask is obligatory and there is a chair for each spectator.
The Quinteto of Vitoria-Gasteiz presents the album Oskolei eta Oskoletan Irtean, which aims to give way to music. Under the title Oskol hides the idea of self-knowledge, the album talks about leaving the limits of oneself or, many times, those that we ourselves put ourselves into ourselves. The song that bears the same title that gives name to the collection clearly explains the interior search, from the very beginning of the song: “It’s a suspicion, but perhaps paw meteors no longer serve to learn.”
Along with the songs of his latest album, they have released two new songs that emerged during the months of confinement. In fact, the band of Jon Basaguren offered a live streaming concert on June 14 at the Jimmy Jazz room in Vitoria-Gasteiz, where a rally was held the week before. The conclusions drawn from the hard months inside Oskol were used to renew, break the shell, remove it from there, give way to new songs, and it is the first time they do so in the plaza.
The live special ends with the reddish twilight of summer, which is also celebrated in Donostia. The members of the group have been fired by the rays of light hidden among the skyscrapers, but Basaguren has put the final brooch on the evening with his guitar and powerful voice. Without traps we were able to hear the song Eguzki izpiak from the album Bukatik hasi. The summer darkness has come with the flights of storks, which have not been able to fly.
