A luxury gift to the late Lou Reed and all music lovers
- Among many:: Lou Reed, mila esker! Self-production, 2014
The Velvet Underground group disappeared and I met him afterwards, of course. They had both breaker and Arty, of changing rhythms, of creating uncomfortable environments, among others, and they were a clear inspiration to many of the groups that would come later. From that group the most unknown, Maureen ‘Moe’ tucker, I saw it live in En Canal de Bilbao and I liked it. The best known John Cale surprised me at an Azkena Rock in Vitoria. I could never see Sterling Morrison, but after Velvet Underground I was able to see Reed, the most productive of all times, in Kursaal, and it made me cold; he didn't make a single concession.
His death left many people shattered, including his brother Ordorika, who had a close relationship with Reed and his teammates. So veteran sound engineer Jonan Ordorika made an effort to create a record in Euskera in tribute to Lou; and the members of Lou's group offered him his help, which has been welcomed. The casting performed is impressive, not only because of the participation of leading performers and musicians, but because each one has endorsed the song that has touched or touched him. The words also deserve a special mention; Txuma Murugarren has translated them into Basque and adapted them to make them credible singing in our language.
Ruper Ordorika, who doesn't?, takes Romeo had Juliette in rock and roll size and with the help of Arkaitz Miner adds a folk touch. Andoni de Delirium Tremens has shown us that he is in his best way with his voice bacilón, Walk on the wild side Eresia converted to dancer with the help of Javi Pez. Txuma Murugarren has interpreted the meaning of Smalltown literally as a (hateful) village with Tapia, Leturia and Miner. Santi and Alvaro of The Communist Tenant, who seems sleepy but still alive, have led A gift to the melancholy and noisy ground of noise-pop. The beast Petti, who has a little challenge, has created the song with more body, the most rocker, heavier and dirtier, from The blue Mask. And in the counterpoint, Maddi Oihenart has enjoyed I´ll be your mirror.
The difference B is opened by Gorka Urbizu, Who am I of The raven? philosophical, near a record similar to Katamalo, leading to high-intensity pop-rock. Then, Evaristo breaks with philosophy, accompanied by the instrumentation of Paco loco, interpreting Real good time together. With Gari we represent ourselves in dots that have black music and jazz as the menu of every day. Anari has given us a real Sad song, with a darker and heavier tone than that of Azkoitia, remembering the German era of Reed. All this is complimented by the instrumental of Paco loco, who has had much to say in this work. This is one of the most careful collections in the world in homage to the NY Survivor, made in our country. Thank you very much to the promoters and authors!
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... [+]
Sometimes you have to combine a lot of elements to get a result you haven't anticipated. This has happened in some way with the Feline group, created between Gernika and Bermeo. Iñaki Baini, from the Punk First Aid group, started playing with electronics at home and recorded... [+]
"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... [+]
If you're one of those listening to music on the Internet, you almost certainly know Kokoroko. You don't think so, but take a second and look for Abusey Junction. The melancholic riff guitar by Oscar Jerome has been known for being among the favorites of the algorithm of platforms... [+]
The Neoma group leads to the percussion of tradition, with a careful electronic mold. Leire Etxezarreta, Amets Ormaetxea and Irati Gutierrez de Arrasate, Garazi Otaegi de Asteasu, Eneritz Aulesti de Zarautz, Maria Lasa de Zizurkil and Alaitz Eskuero de Deba are the seven... [+]
In 1988, in the midst of punk youth and RRV in Euskal Herria, between Bilbao and Santurtzi, four brave young men who looked at transoceanic music, including the antipodes, founded the La Secta group, one of the drivers of the pioneer fanzine The Heritage of the Munster. In... [+]
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... [+]
The pandemic crisis has also been a new opportunity for regeneration, as demonstrated by the Odolaren Mintzoa group in Usurbil. His work mocking normality has been slowly cured in the Garate de Andoain studies. With the help of Kaki Arkarazo collects 8 refined songs.

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... [+]
