Mikel Gorosabel, Norton, who mostly joined EH Sukarra, we're not used to listening to her music sitting and motionless. That is why we are grateful for the actions that were carried out within the Limbic Sessions cycle at the Bidebarrieta library in Bilbao. Accompanied by a single guitar, Norton exposed her feelings in an intimate hour-and-a-half program.

This is precisely the objective of the Limbic Sessions: Bring to light the emotions, express the inner sensations with musical notes and make them reach the audience firsthand. Music, literature and feelings don't need other ingredients. To mix all the ingredients, the fact that an artist has something to tell helps a lot on stage.

Norton's performance was mainly linked to the feeling of fear. On his first solo album, Barne basoan barna, fears weigh a lot. It has been dozens of Basque writers who have been putting words to the songs created by Norton and, therefore, each one has been able to express their own fears: the darkness, the need to be imprisoned, to face the everyday... each one has its reasons.

But don't think we spend the night listening to the fears of others, as if we were at the psychologist's house. Over three decades of career, Mikel Gorosabel has surrounded himself with mythical songs, some of which were chosen for the first part. In the 1990s he interspersed several known pieces from the Lorelei group (There is a red city, Ophelie in Paris...) along with his friend Asier Serrano and others from EH Sukarra. Perhaps the most special was in Our Gardens, which was based on the love for which Norton's son was born, as he explained to us.

Along the inner forest came some pieces of work, intimate but energetic melodies around fears. Listen to the words of Harkaitz Cano, Jasone Osoro, Lutxo Egia, Gotzon Barandiaran, Leire Bilbao, etc. It was a pleasure in Norton's voice. Finally, we went back to the times of Lorelei and EH Sukarra. As if it were not enough, the program presenter read some passages from her novel Bermuta at 12 Jasone Osoro, in two short breaks Norton did.

It was a concert to listen sitting and motionless, with the comfort of the chairs of the Bidebarrieta room. But you can't deny that when you hear by mouth from Norton some songs from both the new album and the past, with some part of the body, be it the shoulder or the leg, more than one of us came the need to keep up with the rhythm. Feelings emerge more easily with good music.
