The prize was fat, 5,000 euros, and we had doubts between two contestants… When listening to Bat’s mockup, I became very clonic, too clonic, of Belako. In addition, they sing in English and are from the same town. But then, live, they showed an incredible level and personality, reaching far beyond what was on the model.
The deliberations of the jurors are, of course, secret. Well, I've already recorded one of the first irregular issues: That it has been considered a merit to sing in Basque in the contest of Gaztea models.
I don't expect great reproaches from the director, because he knows that I especially enjoy defending Gaztea in general, and I would do so at any congress for non-transgenic culture, so common in us.
And the other -- let's not lose the thread -- was a great Bilbao rapper. In Basque very well, in Spanish better, and also in English, in appearance, what was sung without problems, now towards the ragga, now diva soul, now funny, in all cases making the dance as natural as unforgettable.
Uau, the jurors were in trance...
Here are the three finalists that we despise:
A trio from San Sebastian, which we feel the preciosist in the model – Allah Lahs? – but which acted much simpler, simply by making a kind of timeless post-grunge, in English.
A soloist with band from San Sebastian, including the cheeks and the piano, who sings mainly in English, within a seventies eclecticism, from the punk rock to the white soul then and vice versa, let us say the dunes of the Rufus Wainwright field.
(By the way, it occurred to me that the 1960s was the first eclectic decade in rock music, say Roxy Music or Talking Heads.)
Three: of the most non-GM breaths came a group and a single group, which received the prize from the public, and sang from start to finish in Euskera, but to us it seemed, stylistically, the most outdated by the difference between the one-lane metal and the hardcore.
What is happening in the respiratory areas and what is happening in the transgenic areas are almost aesthetically antagonistic.
In Amurrio, Lorea Agirre said he prefers his son to listen to La Basu rather than knowing who he was and who Xabier Lete is. Well, more or less, he said this at the Jalgi days organized in Aiaraldea. I completely agree. In the end, our ruling was in favour of the first group, but the director suggested to me that the girl rapera will be taken into account from now on. Therefore, the plot between fathers and mothers, if the Basque hip-hop is going to spread among our sons and daughters.
