AN anniversary is something that does not have less relevance because of its repetitive, it depends the same one belonging to the nature of the event that stands out.

Next Saturday, June 18, will have place in the Church of San Juan Bautista Saint of Leioa a very special concert that will begin the 10th year celebration of Leioa Kantika Korala, a commemoration that reflects the effort of many people making won choral music, albums and with a great deal, very much, talent. At 8:30 p.m., and in addition to Kantika, also will participate in the same act, the juvenile chorus of feminine voices The Kantoria and San Abesbatza, of mixed voices, all belonging to the Municipal Conservatory´s Choral School of Leioa, inaugurating three compositions entrusted and written specially for that day by Xabier Sarasola, Josu Elberdin and Javier Busto.

I have always sought to intertwine the sound of the different instruments among themselves. The sum of their personalities is a magical combination. The voice is the most complex and perfect instrument God forbid existed and the sound that it is capable to express has gotten to excite us during thousands of years that we all have brought ourselves near to that so complex and demanding world. For some time now I have been collaborating with Leioa Kantika Korala, trying to investigate, to discover and to create next to them, a whole world of shared sonorities, converting this collaboration in a fascinating adventure and a true pleasure.

In future dates Leioa Kantika Korala will share their music through the Catalan lands, the French Provence and Sunday, July 24 in Zornotza Amorebieta, next to the great Xabier Amuriza and ourselves, that we will present, one more time, the spectacle Beti Bizi, with a fusion of voices, ancient Biscayan ballads, melodies of dance and a lot of illusion.

With the most ancient, the voice, you write down new full spaces of shades, colors and textures that I am absolutely delighted by... ZORIONAK eta mila esker!!! (Congratulations and Thank you!!!)

A place in which, not only their eyes are set on you but also energy, dreams and sensations come together. (Main auditorium)

I often always imagine, even though I am still composing, how it will sound my music when I take it to a direct live concert that is where I like to experience it. I daydream and I make a guess how I will feel, how the public will receive it, and how the spectacle will take place. I believe that nobody escapes the temptation of trying to discover in our mind, as sighted clairvoyant, the so hoped-for future.
Thinking about it, we arrived to the Glaswegian city, in Scotland, where we present our project Beti Bizi in the prestigious Celtic music festival Celtic Connections.
Since 1993, Glasgow welcomes one of the most important worldwide festivities of Celtic music. This year, it began January 13 till the 30of this same month will close its doors, completing 18 days in which 1,500 artists will more of take part in the 300 concerts, events, talks etc… distributed in 14 stages throughout the whole city. Imagine yourselves for a moment the musical, cultural and personal explosion that all this supposes. The same day, there are a lot of concerts disseminated through the city and as a sequel to each day are the night-time jam sessions in the hotel of the festivity, where all artists that have taken part in the different events of the day meet and offer small live performance but in a intimate way, contributing still more that if it is so possible, to an amazing environment there in which one breathes.
The day of our performance arrived and everything worked wonderfully. We played in the main conference hall of the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and the truth is that the concert was awesome. We all have a good time as never before. The band Leioa Kantika Korala and myself lived unforgettable moments. It was all as shocking as I had imagined it while we recorded Beti Bizi in the studio, as much, that I am looking forward to feel it again and to discover once more, that if it is intense to live it in first person, more is it to share with them and with you…..
