Biznaga, interview in Mondo Sonoro (2024)

Thanks to a special fragrance, se dice que las biznagas (ramilletes de flores de jazmín, típicos de Málaga) ahuyentan los mosquitos durante las calurosas noches de verano y nos previenen de sus molestas y treacioneras picaduras.

De alguna forma, y'con este símil en mente, nos gusta imaginar que el renovado y sobrevenido optimism que ahora derochan Jorge, Álvaro, Milky y Torete es en cierto modo su specific intento por mantener a raya de essstroleem, a la que pueden, amenazan con chuparnos hasta la última dropa de nuestro espíritu.

Precarious work, mental health, dysfunctional politics, and a series of grounds for a dysfunctional future are designed for statal punk forms to inspire powerful registration. Conurgencia, luminosidad y la misma irreverencia de siempre, los chicos de To us Reunion en “Ahora!” (Montgrí, 24), his new disco, once claimed to invite his contemporaries to mobilize and search for another reality, to be aware of the evils that plague them. Porque la mala baba y los motivos para la revolución are never defined.

John “No Bremen” (22) Non-recognition for registration. Did you feel any pressure on this occasion to match the success of this disco?
Álvaro: It's true that we played a lot of international concerts before presenting “Bremen No Existe”, but with this disco we managed to be more accessible and a lot of people listened to us. Con cualquier proyecto nuevo existe ese riesgo del que habla, added to your desire to grow artistically and your own expectations that this is reflected in your work. On this occasion, we had the additional obstacle of not having Pablo, but despite everything, I believe we did a much better job than what we did in “Bremen No Existe” and we are very satisfied with everything. to the new disco.

You can agree with Raul Pérez and producción, sure, you can use the disco.
Jorge: Here are the three discs we have recorded with Raúl since he started working with us at Gran Pantalla, and the truth is that it was nice to see him win more and more. dominates every project. John “Gran Pantalla” just grabbed us and took on a more current role in “Bremen No Existe”. “¡Ahora!” hemos querido replicar. In addition, junto a él works side by side with Santi García, whose profile is very different from that of Raúl, but at the same time complementary and absolutely positive for the good of the group as a whole. We recorded a disco at La Mina, which has now moved its base from Seville to Granada, and we practically felt like we were opening a studio.

“My result will be very difficult for 50 years”

As a result, the registration process will be very similar to the previous ones.
Alvaro: Yes, we basically followed the same formula, given that the results we got were very positive. Although during this process we wanted to give more manga to Santi as he was not only responsible for the mixes but also suggested many ideas that appeared in the disco.
Jorge: We wanted to repeat many of the instrumental ideas we used in “Bremen No Existe”, the use of some acoustic elements, panderetas, teclados, que esto nos ha abierto un abanico de possibilities muy interesante.

Una vertiente pop que incluso consigue que que az podamos reconocerar a Ángela de Child en “Requiem por un Rider”.
Shopping: Register as you normally would. Disco has no principles of cooperation, no advocacy, and no form of natural surgery. But when we analyze the structure of the theme, the como de dialogue between the characters, we see the idea of ​​a female character answering the horseman, and somehow that voice ends up being Angela. John Bala, además, tendemes muy buen roll. Hamos tocado juntos muchas veces y tan pronto como le proposimos esta idea, grabó las voces en Galicia y nos las hizo llegar. There is no illusion to participate in the disco.
Jorge: Actually, it's very similar to “Domingo Especialmente Triste” in that it starts with a very direct structure and ends with a more melodic refrain. It has as many functions as possible, different sounds, y electric aquí ha vuelto a ser muy bueno.

“Ahora!” Using the previous disco, canciones demostráis tono positivo demostráis también continues. ¿Se ha given alguna circunstancia en vuestra vida para que estéis en esta stage tan luminosa?
Jorge: No hemo vito la luz ni hemo tenido ninguna experience cercana a la muerte que nos haya hecho dar este giro, si es lo que te estás preguntando [risas]. The result of following the natural path of self-analysis is better. Without losing the critical and sharp tone, our motivation now is to try to send a more positive message than we did in the past. Historical miracles, negatives and pessimists, but not to believe in anything, illusionante de que no todo tiene que ser una mierda, aunque muchos tryten de convencernos de lo contrario. Nunca hay que resignarse y el cambio también es posible.

“¡Ahora!” when it comes to the subject, you can see that there is nothing left in the ink. “Benzodiazepinas”, for example, mental and medical treatment, ¿os dio miedo parecer que estabais frivolizando con este tema?
Álvaro: Despite its pop and mainstream tone, it's a song that comes from knowing that many people, including us, join the band. “A Benzodiazepines”, in concrete, se gesta por nuestro compartido convencimiento de querer normalizar la conversación alredor del tema en questión, puesto que cuanta más gente se abra a hablar de ello az stigmatizado setirá quien secuenseguen secuente. Maybe in some parts of the song we can seem more frivolous, but it's not a serious matter for us in any case. Are you paying attention to this topic?
Jorge: Given the large number of people affected, it is important to have an adequate attitude to represent the subject. Spain is said to be one of the main consuming countries of benzodiazepines in the world. However, the topics required to cover the questions can be tailored exactly. It is believed that this can be blamed on the father for the provision of medical care, as it depends on consumption regardless of the macro-social dimension. With these conditions, “Heroin” de la Velvet canciones influencia nos dejamos, donde pesar de recallarnos lo mal que se puede acabar con ese aura sinistera, nunca se puesta por un point de vista moralista o fiscalizador.

“If disco is aging badly, it will mean there are a lot of problems.”

Anytime, no problem. For example, Agenda 2030 puts us in the eye of the storm with a very modern perspective. ¿Sentís que la politica sosial sigue siendo una asignatura pendente en este país?
Jorge: Going back to 15-M, it's probably one of the most defining moments of our generation's political mindset, and if we look at everything that's happened since then, it would be hypocritical not to recognize many, many things. different changes that se han producido en nuestra sociedad. Ahora, you for me the main reforma and terminado permeando tanto como determinadas partidos del cambio se propusieron first, ahí tengo mis dudas. Undeniably, there is a widespread frustration and dissatisfaction that leads one to say that one day they have set a set of ambitious goals and clearly failed to achieve them. This in turn leads us to a very bipartisan and even reactionary political situation, where new generations are directly flirting with very radical and right-wing positions.
De todos modes, la Politica Institución, que es la que es y juega un papel, nos guste o no, determinant para que se lleven cabo ciertos avances, no es tampoco la única llave hacia el cambio y la progresión. In this sense, we must not forget that we cannot depend only and exclusively on this type of political forces. It demonstrated the necessity of having historical material. Prepare lists, dependent on solo to make decisions in Congress.

Do you believe that algún día will lose your music if Biznaga continues to do pop canciones?
Álvaro: Yo, si te soy truero, ni siquiera sé si habra más discos de Biznaga en el futuro. Don't get me wrong, but reality can have a certain time for me. Well, a disco or a disco. However, in my 50s, it can be hard to imagine.
Jorge: Personally, I believe that the essence of our speech will not change. Esa veta politica la llevamos muy dentro y hagamos lo que hagamos, nos termina resultando inedible. It's not random, you can express your thoughts. Con el tiempo es muy probable que dejemos de ser tan abstractos en favor de ser cada vez más concretos, llevándos a lo terrestrial aquello que queremos decir y contar. In any case, all that is relevant is, by no means, personal personal elements or elements, according to the purpose. “Espejo de Chaos”, for example, approximates this so well that I say I know it very well.
Álvaro: Look, it's a favor, a favor, a favor, a favor, directly contact the music. There is no extra philosophy or high-level metaphors for social criticism.

¿Por qé no se ven más no dentro del pop discos for discos? Is the industry torpedoing the existence of this class of projects?
Jorge: Rather than the industry actually putting palos on wheels like ours, what happens is that anything that expresses certain negatives or goes against the discourse of “everything goes well” requires effort to make everything go well. encouraging. Products of this type, which are not soft, not fresh, not easily digested and require a certain conscious reading, for me they mark the difference with other bands that limit themselves to writing songs about sad things ghosting crush. Musica como la nuestra precisa de una escucha con más atención y compromiso, y eso es algo en lo que no todo el mundo está disposado a invertir.

¿Cómo creéis que envejecerá “¡Ahora!” Will it be announced in time or will it be universally valid for a few years from now?
Jorge: “Ahora!” es una photo del presente, pero también reflexiona sobre ciertos años hacia atrás y ciertos años hacia adelante. It is of great importance for solving problems related to the solution of disco. It seems to me that there is no information about this. In contrast, vigente sigue, el mensaje sigue siendo vigente, entonces será una absoluta mierda para todos. Sabemos que vendrán otros “ahoras”, claro, pero por nuestra parte solo podemos esperar que sean mejores que éste.
