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 haven't come to grips with fatigue.
San Fermín Square is difficult. Gorka Urbizu's concert in this alleged eight-day collective delusion and frenzy has created contradictory feelings. As if it were too quiet, too late or causing a drop. In any case, by the time many fans are about to give one, waiting for a decision to be made on what to do.
The concert started with a concert in which the protagonist staged behind the bands. I'm not an understanding of music, but I'll dare to say it's a joy. Lately we have become accustomed to proposals with many stimuli, what Urbizu brings tends to the simple: melodies, clean voice, details of each instrument, short silences and colors that light up in a white fabric.
Another question was whether I would play only the songs from the first album. Or in other words, it would offer us a song by Berri or not. And yes, but not just. Lekunberri's has made gestures and tributes to many projects in his career. Peiremans, Katamalo and, of course, Berri Txarrak have also participated in the voice of Gorka Urbizu. And also, a few bonus tracks that I'm not going to mention if there are those who haven't yet seen the concert. It is also true that many of us have thought that some of the songs of Initiation Bat might have been those that had been left out of the previous projects.
But for many precisely that is what disappointment is going to be. You'd expect something from the expectation of what it's not. A few have left before the end of the action. We've also seen the tears of others. One (more) couple kissing. Ambulatory suppliers – whom I also thank very much for their cold – Listeners grab on their shoulders and sing. A group that's playing to taste.
Maybe it's not the most massive concert or the most dancing. But it has been, as we say, a moment. And that's also worth it. Nothing else.
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.

The sum of four elements does not always give four, usually more than that. And of course, they walked through a number of projects and to know how and why they came together. Atxe, Led Inferno, Osoron and Txerra. We thought they were going to make punk for the background, but... [+]
Born 7 May 1824. Ludwig Van Beethoven (1770-1827) 9. Premiere of the Symphony. It was the last symphony that the German composer wrote, but as for intention, you can say it was the first. Beethoven wrote Symphony No. 1 in 1799 and 1800, years before he was born in his head No. 9... [+]
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... [+]
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... [+]
Summer comes and with it the popular festivals of towns, neighborhoods and cities. Festivities have always been the refuge of social and political demands, neighborhood relations and popular euphoria. They take our streets and for a few days they are an example of... [+]
The concert season of the Basque Orchestra ends with an extraordinary concert at the Baluarte de Pamplona. A nice concert, of those who want to applaud the listeners, with many stays

Concert hall signs usually have a common element: two (or three) groups are scheduled on the same night, but both groups are not recognised as having the same status. There is a hierarchy. What I used to play, the Spanish telonero, is the antecedent of the main concert, being... [+]
An image is worth a thousand words. I read the journalist and writer Pascual Serrano that there is no more lie than that. He wrote it ten years ago, when we started to see that the image was going to eat the whole word. Finally, the proverbs can be refuted.
Another: nothing... [+]
