Our past and background in context
Party and recreation. Oral History of Rock Radical Vasco
Javier 'Jerry' Corral
Books, 2025
------------------------------------------------
Javier Corral ‘Jerry’ was a student of the first Journalism Promotion of the UPV, along with many other well-known names who have been revealing the rock scene in the Basque Country: Belen Mijangos, Roge Blasco, Roberto Moso... has been dedicated to music in the radio and press since the 1980s, from Muskaria to the present day. So, it’s no surprise that you’re stepping up to do this kind of work.
Jerry has worked intensely, with almost 850 pages, and has tried to approach the Rock Radical Vasco from many angles. During the last two or three years he has interviewed a large number of friends: the protagonists of many of the groups we have represented under this label, several journalists and agents (record labels, management...) who have been around were from the time, but, being both from the Basque Country and from abroad, they also walked in other musical coordinates. In addition, he also questioned those who did not live in that period to find out how they receive and understand the legacy and the pose of that time.
The work is very rich because it provides the time to calmly study that mobida here that has once been on everyone’s lips and probably in the ears. The book has received a wide variety of opinions, and for me the reflections received both outside our borders and through the eyes of today are particularly interesting. In fact, this movement, which was designated as RRV by no one who was passionate about music or dedicated to music, went unnoticed. And it seems that the effect of this was – and is – greater than many of us could have imagined.
It’s great to have so many different voices. Some of the essentials are missing among the living, but I would say that there are few shortcomings. And those under the umbrella of the RRV (with or without enthusiasm) have the opportunity to reflect and respond extensively with the added value of distance. On the other hand, it is interesting that in their mouths they talk about us: Ramoncin, Jesus Ordovas of Radio 3, Jaime Gonzalo of Ruta66, Julian Hernández of Siniestro Total, Morfi Grei of La Banda Trapera del Rio, Servando Carballar of Dro and Marivi Ibarrola, among others.
On March 7, the 150th anniversary of the birth of Maurice Ravel, the best Basque composer of all time. And in LA LUZ a tribute was paid to this composer, recalling the influence of the famous Bolero on the collective imagination.
