Today, the Jimmy Jazz room has been dressed again a special props, the space facing the stage is occupied by folding wooden chairs, while in the last five rows there are high stools. The ground floor is packed with people, all sitting and adorned with a handkerchief. The pandemic situation is guilty, nervous, unsafe or extreme tension in the air, as a result of the uninhabitability of the direct ones.

The Zaragozans, who make up Banana’s partner, Lady Banana, are already on stage. The fall dawn has entered the room and the atmosphere has filled with oscuridad.El guitarist and singer has a blonde and short hair, while the choir drummer and composer has a long melena of black hair and frontons. This live rock group has published two EPs and this year will release your first Bipolar LP.

After the pair from Zaragoza, the Sua group, from Maruri-Jatabe, has risen to the stage. It is noted that the innovative proposal for the Biscayan quartet is better known to the public. As is known in Basque mythology, fire is a dual being, that is, even if it is good it can become very dangerous. Taking this idea into account and playing with that duality, Sua’s proposal combines different musical styles, with calm and warm melodies that mix with intense rhythms and guitar riffs.

The winning group of the 28th edition of the Gaztea Model Contest uses Euskera and English in their songs, such as You don`t care, Hormaketa, Shake it out or Euri gabe, Lorerik ez gives that example. The album Ordu beltzak offers a record for all tastes and a soft but strong voice from Ane, seduces the audience.

To end with an unusual evening full of concerts, Bala is a group used to playing through the streets of London and consolidated in its streets. The intense rock of the 1990s, the classic stoner, metal and dirty pop make up its particular essence. The desire to release all the energy from the interior on the stage is palpable and contagious to the spectators.
