Pirate confesses Jesus Cifuentes since birth and believes that if the emergence of the internet and the issue of sharing music the record companies would have been stepping up to the price issue, perhaps the issue as of today could be very different and we would not be Internet users about “Mangantes” they are taking away the bread of the poor musicians (I add it latter in several interviews SGAE members).
What do you like about this type of event?
I really like all. If I had to put a paste would be his treatment sometimes public; poor organizations. Also quite square wrist structure; sometimes come with colleagues and not let you go from side to side. Everything is impassable. In any case I pass the fuck. As you get into a tour, you run out of the opportunity to see other groups. Today, for example, tengo ganas to see the band Bassotti.
What led you to leave the group for years and how epic your return to Celtic?
I needed to breathe on other sides. We had many years stuck in the spiral disk-tour and wanted to develop other experiments, fresh air and oxigenarme. With the same ease that I went back. Proponiéndomelo called me to make sense of the 20 years of the group. I think it's a compelling reason. Really care who call her. Now what counts is finishing the tour and then we will start recording an album. I have many songs saved in the studio and we will see the twist we give it. Oh well, There is no specific line of work.; We still don't know if we will continue along the lines of 'You have the door'’ or if it will be more electronic or more rock and roll.
How do you rate the public's response to this return??
We have noticed that more people have gotten on the boat than were already there.. The truth is that we don't make songs for a specific audience., we make music for whoever likes it.
What has the group gained in these 20 years old?
We have always strived to evolve and play many styles of music, although we are not going to deny that a characteristic note of the group is instrumental music and the Celtic vibe.. But that has not influenced us to want to be up to date with sounds, of the things that happen. Disc by disc Celtas Cortos has shown different sides of the band; at the beginning it was a rock&more orthodox roll, then more Latin rhythms….What we have contributed is a fairly guerrilla attitude. We have avoided stagnation. The worst thing that can happen to a musician is to become functional.
To what extent can the departure of Nacho Castro and Carlos Sotos influence the group?
The deficit that the group will have will be, without any doubt, the human presence of these two great people and so many years of relationship. Oh well, Those who replaced them are also good people and good musicians..
Nowadays you turn on the television or read the press and you realize that Haz Turismo or El emigrante are valid songs., even though they were written many years ago.
I already tell you. The Yankee sons of bitches are there and they don't let their guard down and we can't get them out of the way.. We live in a world of imbalance and as long as things do not change….
Changing things a little, Manerasdevivir is an Internet medium. Is there a good use of the Internet today or do you think that piracy can end up killing music?
I have been a pirate since I was born. The Internet is a good tool for anyone who wants to launch their new project. If possible, It is the fairest place: It is true democracy. But there is still a lot of delay. If the companies, with the arrival of the digital age, they would have lowered the price of the records, They wouldn't be complaining now. The bastards still want to make money. And, however, rock is still quite obscure in Spain.
What do the acronym SGAE suggest to you??
It's a little tumor that's out there, stuck to the lives of musicians. There is no alternative solution; The solution is for the SGAE to disappear. I am in favor of copyleft, not copyright. Maybe there should be another organization and that the artists, like in France, they had other types of support.
This libertarian speech that you promulgate, has always been highly criticized due to the situation of your group, close to commercial circles. What do you think of that type of criticism??
Everyone who thinks what they want. I make my music and now. We are in the same company that first told us if we wanted to record something serious. I don't agree with that structure., but today it is the support we have. I wish we had the structure to do things differently.. Maybe it ends up being like that because the multinational thing has a quarter of an hour left.
