Jump To Comment: 1 2Great to see Basques having a music industry & a modern one as well with electric guitars, samplers and amps. They've really got a lot to teach us Irish - we should learn. How did they manage to skip the showband? famine ballad? big Ronnie Drew beards? (indebted we are to langerland for so well describing the history of Irish Music -http://langerland.com/content/view/80/59/ )
But just think the noble Basque avoided all that. They went straight from inventing the bagpipes to beating musical sounds out of bulls to lead the world in punk-angst antisystem rock to this. The here and now. The cutting edge of an assuredly unforgetable night. "Even dafyd the normally rabidly anti-iranian had a good time and was seen very discreetly offing it away home with a young man of colour." Yes. This gig was so good it's impossible to predict in any other way than the grammar of legend, myth and watershed - the past tense.
I'm not BP bleeding fallon I'm anti-Shell pro Fanon & whenever I listen to basque music - my feet start tapping and my head starts bopping. It's brill. Better than Grand - they do love. they do happiness. they do sadness. they do being young. They do Music. They do communication.
If you do nothing else this year or have nothing else in your calender - make sure you go see this group. & you know they keep the lights down so the state of your lips won't matter.
they sing about that too.
