Always ahead

Hotzikarak, Petti & Etxeko Uzta. Elkar, 2016

I am glad that I have been bought the new album from Petti and Etxeko Uztaren, and I am listening very willingly, very gladly. They have done a very nice job. The songs are very good and they are very well composed, elaborated and produced. Some are strong, high-energy and some are softer. In the songs, passions, desires, dreams, pain and sour feelings are appreciated.

Petti is an exceptional singer, guitarist and composer, every time he sings better and plays the guitar better, and every time he creates better songs. Disco to disco always offers something new, different or special in your songs. His melodies are blues, rock and folk, but Petti has his own style, his own personality and a great heart. From its bowels comes a voice torn and deep, known, sometimes with great strength and others soft and sweet.

Astirtetan (Bonberenea Ekintzak, 2015) compiled “quite naked” songs for his previous work, in the words of Petti himself, and announced that his next work, the Chilrío he has published this year, would be “a rocker album” and would have a “more electric and robust” sound. That's right. He has done a good job with the help of Etxeko Uzta. Joseba Irazoki (electric guitars, lap steel and banjo), Igor Telletxea (drums and percussion) and Iñigo Telletxea (bass). They're great musicians and they get along very well with Petti, they've known each other since they're young and they've been playing together for some time.

The contribution of other people who have participated in the recordings should also be highlighted: Estitxu Pinatxo (voice), Txus Aranburu (keyboards), Joseba Baleztena B. Lenoir (guitar), Felix Buff (drums), Xan Bidegain (bass), Víctor Sánchez (technical), Josu Zabala (music of the song Bi bide), and the authors of the lyrics Pello Lizarralde, Eneko Barberena, Igor Elortza, Beñardo Goietxe, Juan

Petti and Etxeko Uzta are presenting their new Hotzikarak album in public sessions. It is worth being in one of your sessions.

Year of War, year of lie!

That is what the phrase says, and that is what reality confirms.

Big in smallness -- small in greatness?

In February 2023, I read the news in the press and I was depressed because it surprised me and gave me what to think. The store of Jostaldi Kirolak Erdikale Street in Azpeitia will be closed to the public after 48 years of running.

That made me travel in time. I'd been there... [+]

Basque Country with three speeds

When we woke up, culturally and administratively, the landscape showed a three-speed disaster.

As far as culture is concerned, I had the opportunity – once again – to confirm this last November 14 at the Mint library in Ortzaize. There we met because Eñaut Etxamendi... [+]

Snow

Snow hides the earth and the traces of beings looking for pleasure. Under the beauty of snow there is time, years, generations, ephemerides, quotations; but when time goes by there are words that have not been said before or after. Snow reminds us that we could slip and fall. As... [+]


Ended with Palestine (and with the world)

The world has also done so, because it is a symbol, because in history more genocides have already been done and will be done (bad luck, hear, it has touched you to be born there), but Palestine has special characteristics:

Büxarik ez, mila esker

They appeared, as usual, through the hut, parked in the center of the passage, in herbs and encharcations so as not to dirty the mills, and went through the road, tracing, to the porch, with a large dish in the hand. As usual, the bûche was ready. In French bûche it can be a... [+]

How much is important?

As the fall ends, the crows appear on Basque Day, in the Basque era or in the Durango Fair. Aware of the results of socio-linguistic surveys on the use of Euskera, the "politically corrective" exercise has no longer drawn anyone's attention. Without Ttattarri, with cool and smiling... [+]


Technology
What does 2025 bring?

I've done a quick analysis of the technology forecasts for 2025. Like every year, when you talk about what technology is going to bring to the media in 2025, the discourse is very similar. Many of us who write about technology have the anxiety of knowing more than it's going to... [+]
