The youngest spectator will be you.” Words of a mother to her daughter outside the Arriaga Theatre. The girl will be 7-8 years old, and later I have confirmed that she has not been the youngest spectator of the concert. Children, young people, adults... age, many women expect to see Neomak's concert. Majorities are remarkable. Chance? I don't think so. On the table we see six women and in the audience we see a machine. Significant image.
The Neomak concert is one of the activities of this year’s Loraldia festival. This is the 10th edition of the festival, which aims to make Bilbao the center of contemporary Basque culture for twenty days.
They are Amets Ormaetxea, Alaitz Eskuero, Leire Etxezarreta, Irati Gutierrez, Garazi Otaegi and Eneritz Aulestia Mutiozabal. The old sorcerers of Kepa Junkera are forcefully starting the new project. From the beginning they have advanced the axis of the concert: they come to renew the old, to update the basket and the usual sounds.

In Abadiño Sanblaseta, the members of the group have offered their own version of the songs spoken by Madalen Buzturin and Xorie, as well as a desktop image. They have tapped the table with their hands, and they have dressed the round of the table in the singing.
Complicity breaks at the end of the concert. In the song AIOIAI, Ane and Janire of Sua have joined the witchcraft. Latest songs, XXI. Revenge has achieved a rare figure in theatres: the public has risen from their seats and has finished singing and dancing. A special akelarre, from the hand of those who come to renew the old.
Sometimes I don't know if it's too much. That we're eating a pipe, that we're talking about anything else, that we're bringing it up. We like to speak aloud, to leave almost no pause, to cover the voices, to throw a bigger one. Talk about each one of them, each one of them, what we... [+]
