The same night he filled the Palau Sant Jordi, Joan Dausà set himself the challenge of filling a similar venue in Madrid or San Sebastián singing in Catalan. In the end it was in Madrid. The Basque group ETS (En Tol Sarmiento) took note of the challenge Dausà set for himself. "That's where the move came from," admits singer Iñigo Etxezarreta from Álava. The idea was to fill the Palau Sant Jordi and the Madrid Movistar Arena singing in Euskera. They perform in Barcelona this Saturday, April 11th, and in Madrid on May 25th. "There are people who believe that language can be a barrier, but what we do shows that it is not so. I believe that singing in Euskera brings its own sensibility, and it is also a cultural differentiation in such a globalized world," says Etxezarreta. Last year it was Fermin Muguruza who mobilized thousands of people to listen to music in Euskera at the Palau Sant Jordi, and now it's the turn of ETS, a band born under the umbrella of Basque punk-rock that gradually incorporated other musical sensibilities, some more pop, others more Latin, like bachata. "The concert will be a Basque cultural festival centered around Euskera, tradition, and oral transmission, but also a show with space for encounters with other cultures," explains the Basque musician.
