Below all the waves, above free creativity

Managing fame isn't easy for anyone, let alone if you're very young and you go through your first album. This is what the members of the newly founded Huntza group lived in a very natural and spontaneous way, who met at the university and began to write songs for fun. All of a sudden, the video of the first album Aldapan gora received over a million visits and immersed them in a gigantic whirlwind that no one had predicted.
They resisted the wave, they did hundreds of concerts and interviews. And almost afterwards they published their second album, also of a festive atmosphere, fresh and peppered with desire to live. Studies and music, fame and day-to-day, because they've always had their paws on the ground, sloping, that often got a very difficult balance.
Then came the pandemic and the lockdown, and they've taken advantage of the downhill pace to push away the pressure, to reflect, to breathe to some extent, and to think and calmly create the third album, Not Expected. They have always gone against the current, following their own beats, and they have done so instead of looking at what people expect.
And what the interior has asked of you is largely a surprise: for example, the first song on the album, Odoletan, is rocker, has a different rhythm and body, albeit with trikitixa and melody. 17:21 is a pop full of details, a beautiful crazy song that seems made for the great participant, Julieta Venegas. However, Izan nahi du has carved the typical Huntza brand, a lively and joyful pop-rock led by the trikitixa, albeit with new nuances. For example, Haizeak can easily compete with prominent epic folk groups. The friends of Doctor Prats have participated in the song. A tired poem is born whispering, but it almost becomes orchestral. Punta punte is a competition between rock and trikitixa, hit!a today. Many regrets are utterly mestizo, a dark riff and a Caribbean melody. Finally, Agur Itaka is a pop and folk ballad.

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... [+]

"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.

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... [+]

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... [+]

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... [+]
