Placing us around a disk
- 40 people have met at the gaztetxe Astra of Gernika, each in his chair and keeping the safety distance. The weak light and music from the loudspeakers have created a welcoming atmosphere. 40 people looking at an empty stage, listening to the record someone else has chosen. However, in adapted format, the Café and Cookies initiative returns.
Five years later, the Cafe and Cookies initiative returns. Why now? Why in the midst of a pandemic, when obstacles and conditions of association are tougher than ever before? Leire and Ibon are clear: at a time when culture is serious, popular culture is in an even more serious situation, which is done outside the institutions. The initiative, which has been sleeping for five years, has been relaunched to bring alternative spaces to value. Due to its characteristics, it is an excellent format for finding slots and performing cultural activities in the current situation. In these times when music has become an environmental noise of rapid consumption, listening and actively commenting on the album someone has chosen and met with friends can be a great plan.
Coffee and cookies
When: 5 January
Where: Gaztetxe Astra de Gernika.
On this occasion it has been up to J Martina to choose and present the album. What we have to hear today is Dellafuente's latest work. The Granada artist released last year Rest in Power (Sony Music). The work is composed of ten songs that mix flamenco and urban music. An interesting proposal, which has departed somewhat from the usual selections of Coffee and Cookies. After hearing, J. Martina highlighted in the talk about the album the importance that the work of Granadino has had for them both in the musical and conceptual.
After the hearing, we were able to enjoy the live performance of the J Martina group. The proposal of two voices, guitars and synthesizers filtered by the trio of Larrabetzu and Barañain with the automata has surprised us, because we did not know the group. We have gone through the intimate and beautiful landscapes they have created with songs like Desira and Su, as well as with the beautiful and rough song Beste Bat. We have been driven by different musical paths and, in the end, we have been eager to dance. Reluctantly, we stayed in chairs waiting for the sign of getting up, each in place but somehow united. They have offered two versions, that of Dellafuente with the music of No See You and Joseba Tapia, and that of Lagun Galdua with the letters of Koldo Izagirre.
We've become happy about Gernika, after seeing an old friend and making new friends.
