Hatortxurock 28, a new ending

  • Today the 28th edition of the Hatortxurock solidarity festival has been held in Villava. The Music Festival, the aim of which is to make all the Basque representatives known, has reunited thousands of people. For the development of the festival, volunteering has been indispensable. All entries have been exhausted. The organization has very much appreciated this edition, but has denounced two macho attacks.

Villava's tent was small yesterday at the Hatortxurock festival. "Txiki, but with solidarity," the organizers confirm with a note. "The policy of alienation has ended and with it has radically changed the conflict situation in the Basque Country. But we have memory and love for tones." That is why the victims of the policy of dispersion were reminded at the event: Sara Fernández, Rosa Amezaga, Arantza Amezaga, Pilar Arsuaga, Alfonso Isasi, Antxoni Fernandez, Jose Mari Maruri, Mari Karmen Salbide, Rubén Garate, Iñaki Saez, Asier Heriz, Leo Iturralde, Iñesteele Balagativity

"The policy of remoteness is past, yes, but it has not yet settled everything", the organizers acknowledged that the next challenge is "to turn the situation that perpetuates us to the past and to give way to the issue of Basque prisoners, refugees and deportees." "We have a new ending on the horizon."

The tents launched yesterday were filled with thousands of people. And for everything to be organized well and the festival to go well, about 500 people worked. "What treasure it is today to put hundreds of people voluntarily, affectionately, at work and achieve that result," he says.

Male aggressions

However, the festival has not been round. "It's been far from round," the organizers say, referring to two macho attacks. "We say this clearly, we have to fix the issue of prisoners, refugees and deportees among all, and that's why we want people to join Hatortxu Rock. But more clearly than you, that aggressor, is not welcome. Hatortxu Rock has to be a safe space for everyone and we will have to keep working."

With good friends, the short hours

Punk. Punk is back, or, rather, has never gone. Those from Zikine come from Lekitxo (and not from Lekeitio), with the elegant Bala Galdua Zure Buru Galduan who have recently published with Pentecost.

A difficult place

See if it is possible to bring the Basque to the center of the party. This year’s Plaza del Castillo concerts have been betting as dangerous as they are rewarding. Hitherto, Izaro, Chill Mafia and Zetak have become a great success. But for the fourth night, I don't know if you... [+]

Songs to carry in the pockets

You cannot read a group without taking into account the past of your colleagues; and in this case, exercise is even more difficult. There's a member of Tatxers, and Borla reminds the Tatxers group. It is inevitable to think about the previous group, but we stayed short, because... [+]


The Basque opera that we deserve

In Durango's Hitz bookstore, it occurred to me that the Saturraran opera deserved criticism. On the one hand, the response of Jose Julián Bakedano, the illusion of the words of Gaizka Olabarri from the bookstore, the illusion of Nekane Bereziartua, who for so many years has been... [+]
