ZIURTASUNA

February 25, 2010

Today, many people are heading to this type of belief, which is enacted that each one makes their own reality, the same as, what one thinks and believes in somehow designs what may become their future. I do think in a way there is a point to it but the true of the matter is a little bit more complicated than all that. It is true that there are times in life that one without knowing why feels the absolute security that what he thinks and wants will become reality. Something like the famous phrase, “faith can move mountains” but adapted to the XXI century. I’m a big admirer of the trikitixa or the diatonic accordion and the tambourine playing simultaneously. It’s simple but very powerful but at the same time I harbour a dream of those so called “impossible”. Tomorrow, Friday at the Kursaal Palace in San Sebastian and to mark the 50th anniversary of the Basque Bank, Caja Laboral I will share stage with the Euskadi´s Symphony Orchestra and a few friends who will accompany me on this important event. To step on stage and to feel the orchestra behind you, stirs up mixed feelings, on one hand the huge responsibility it holds but also the perfect opportunity to live the music intensely, trying to break barriers and experience a dream that seldom becomes true in the career of a traditional musician. I want to thank Caja Laboral for their efforts and also for remembering the Euskadi´s Symphony Orchestra as for me in such an important day. When I started in this music, at that time in which the diatonic accordion was considered a “humble” instrument, not to say some else, little could I image that years later I would see myself on stage accompanied by the maestros of Euskadi´s Symphony Orchestra to play my composed music, arranged of course for this occasion. In life there are lessons to be learned and not to be forgotten. One important is that complexes and limits, contrary to popular belief, are not created by the circumstance but by oneself. The sooner we believe in this, the faster we will be able to reach our goals.
