It is interesting the hobby created in recent years in Euskal Herria for marrying folk and punk. However, although they have much to say, not so many groups have taken that trend and their proposals are different. Navarro Bizardunak group (where not?) He was the pioneer and, in addition to bringing our ancestors and our kingdom to the surface, he was led to punk folk and semi-controlled folk chaos, until in the last year they began to experiment. Fiachras, who has members of the Goierri and Bergara, has a more personal, more melancholic and even more tabernacle touch of smaller groups. Among them, the youngest is the McOnak group in Lekeitio, but they are from the coast, and in a few years they have managed to get many young people to climb their boats and give them a warm welcome when they arrive at the ports raising their jugs.
It is known that the sea takes and brings what it wants, and it is also known that those who live looking at the sea receive a lot from outside: the good and the bad. They are also hardened with their skin and, above all, their character. These six young people from Lekeitio, who carry the sea in their veins, have been in charge of the waves fighting the rocks of the coast. And it has given them something else: Ireland so far away and so close at once and its celebrations, the music of crying and war, the music of viscera, folk.
A new salty blood reaches the shore of the sea to stop it. Accompanied by the most common saxons, whistles, sounds, harmonics and rock instruments, the Lekittarras have been able to work in folk and different styles.
Under the name of the pirates' rebellion, sailors sing like plumers in old taverns, with a jar of beer in their hand, tears away almost uncovered, but with the mood in the air hugging their partner. Folk is a melancholy and courage, because it's the people's song, and they feel it too. But Hertzainak's Gari is able to break the gorges with which he would sing earlier, or, remembering The Solano's, with the Basque living rock.
To compose the album and, from time to time, to put the songs country, punk rock, ska, reggae and other costumes, you have counted with luxury guests on this first long album: The Haritz Artola de Fiachras, Ager Isunza of the Audience group, Andoni Basterretxea of Delirium Tremens and Olatz Salvador of the Skakeitan group, among others.
In the words, in addition to melancholy, (auto) a severe criticism is made of themselves and some of those who do not allow us to live peacefully, using imaginative metaphors and phrases. In addition, they wanted to pay tribute to the Ume Villancicos group, which shared their homeland, and they recalled the song Speculazioa, which was written today.
Meanwhile, as the McOnak chants sing, “May death surprise us by dancing with him.”
I was surprised – in a good sense – by this new project. In Bergara, Aitor Aldanondo, created around a stone, has many senses. In this work he wanted to somehow get what he has lived for years.
Aldanondo started her musical career in the Criminal Brigade group, dedicated to... [+]
On the occasion of a documentary about Eñaut Elorrieta, I was invited to Tabakalera two or three weeks ago. I liked the invitation to the colloquial premiere, but when I approached the film I began to find many people, there Paul e Itziar, there Maiz, there Eneko, Olatz e... [+]

"Here, as a revelation, space and time look clearer." Look at Narbaiza come back and thank you. Narbaiza is one of the most special singers on the scene. There is no more to see how new songs govern.
Because for most creators, what we do is the shadow of what we've done once... [+]
I was very pleased that the Artza brothers, together with the launch of the new record, intended to retrieve and vinyl the Barrakos model, where would I buy it? In fact, the model cited in 1990 is a treasure that our music has been ignored in history. Some of those who would act... [+]
There's no other way, you have to change what you don't like and create something else: break it and start from scratch. That was the basis of punk, and that's what Leire Led Inferno (voice) and Txerra Bolinaga (drums) decided when the Piztupunk group voluntarily dissolved and... [+]

Euskal Herria will not issue stories like Searching for sugar man. What we are going to do is diminished and disadvantaged. But this small town, and the great hell, is the one that has given many myths that come out of the shadows and come back into the shadows.
In the 1980s,... [+]
The Perlata de Arrasate group will not marry almost anyone. Since 2015 they have been making their own way, looking at what is being done around them, but in their own direction and pace and not reassure them. They carry quite a few records and miles on their backs. I was... [+]

Any of us, each of us, are necessarily a reflection swimming in an immense sea surrounded by threats, opportunities and many other living beings. We have a good job in managing our own flotation line, as well as choosing what to collect and dispense with waves, waves, etc. They... [+]
In the end he has done so. Finally, after years of progress, bertsolari Odei Barroso has taken his first solo job. Well, bertsolari doesn't. Raplari before being bertsolari. But the wisdom of the verse is well used, to say with rhyme to those who had to say and shake themselves... [+]
