"The 80's were a decade of great creativity"
Zarama was one of the references of rock that exploded Euskara during the 80's. After several months of activity in which they have returned to the stage with a review of its subjects forever and a live album, have accepted the challenge of the organizers of the series 'Izar & Star' to review issues of Basque historical groups of that era. Roberto Moso, singer of the band and one of the best voices in rock history Basque forward us details of this project. Question. Why did Zarama the 80's for this action?
Response. The challenge came from the outset. In our case, we set out to do cover songs of Basque groups of 80, so we had to prepare a lot of songs, many in Castilian. Temasde Kortatu groups like MCD or I am in July Caesar. We make versions of truth, not 'shooting'. P.
What is a version of truth? R. I would say it is a reinterpretation, not making a song and repeat it as we did the original group. For example, Marianne Faithfull did a version of truth 'Working class hero' and David Bowie also did it with 'Let's spend the night together. " I will not cite the cases contrary to not hurt anyone, but in general you hear pure copies, photocopies. To hear a song from Eskobar, Eskobar prefer to listen to. P.
What happened to many bands emerged in the Basque Country during the 80?
R. I think it all happened when we played. Listening to the rock that came from Madrid, groups like Burning or Leno. Some think that it was time to do something from here. Was the Muskaria reviews, fanzines, radio free ... Also, we were a very street youth and our children was also very street. We spent much time on the street. We had so many classes, but we were used to organize. Another important thing is that there were many young people as a result of the 'baby boom' of los70.
P. Everything that happened during that decade has influenced today's society?
R. As regards to music, it shows the imprint. Many musicians cite groups at that time among his influences. Crystal Fighters members have cited Vulpes Eskorbuto and among his favorite bands. For example, from Madrid speak with pride of his wonderful 'move' and hide the bad stuff. Here, however, the opposite happens, it seems that only cite the bad. We know that many people died here due to heroin, but also occurred in Madrid and they are not citing every day. I think there was also a great deal of creativity in that decade and I want to claim. Go to Mexico or Cuba, and asked who they were Glutamate Ye-Ye. Some know who is Alaska, but asked if they know Eskorbuto or La Polla Records and what scene was the one that had more influence.
P. Since we're talking about the old days, what do you feel when you look back?
R. I'd rather not look back, no avail. But generally, my memories are very positive.
P. Zarama lately been recycled. Do you intend to keep making music?
R. The truth is that we are very happy together. Now let's performance to performance, as they say in football. When we have time, we get a new song and others and will
