Softness and strength, intensity. Changes in rhythm and atmosphere, landscapes and colors can be observed in the songs of the second album of the group Habide Amasa-Villabona (Gipuzkoa).

Occasionally, you can hear delicate and exciting melodies, with glitter, beautiful melodies. In other passages you can feel a fluttering sound, distortion, because the melodies are violent, raw, noisy. The storm and calm have combined very well.

Jon Ander Artola performs very well relaxed, intense and playful rhythms, or strong and strong, with very precise hits. Yeray Gascón, for his part, complies with the chords of his guitar, his drawings and other nuances, and saw them well with his special and sensitive voice.

Through songs they convey the hope and the desire to escape or leave the edge of the precipice. You want to stand up in spite of a stumbling block or get a hit to move forward. Pain, heartbreak, death... courage to face problems. They express all of that from within, as they feel, and they also make self-criticism.

His first album, entitled Loratu, saw the light last year, and like the previous one, the recording of his new work has been carried out in the Elkar studios, under the direction of sound technician and producer Victor Sánchez. They've done a good production job, working carefully on the arrangements and details, all in place, without a garnish that can be left over, and the songs are heard clean, loud and audible.
Kolore has been edited in CD and vinyl format, with the collaboration of editor Elkar. Anyone who has difficulty obtaining them can do so via the group’s website.
The Habib group is making its journey quickly. It was founded in 2018, in just two years it has composed two albums and has made a lot of public performances in different locations. And they've only just started, because they live and make music with a lot of passion. Thus, compared to the first album, it is evident that the group has taken a step further in its trajectory with the Kolore disc, both in terms of songs and production.
