This song was mainly characterized by a mesmerizing voice, powerful, light and almost oriental in its style and in its way to sublimate the musicality of the Basque language.
It is the very song which made me discover Zea Mays shortly after the group was created, with its rock'n roll classic simplicity (drums, bass, guitar, vocals) together with a sensitivity equals to no other. Imagine that a simple voice is able to bring tears to the eyes, for the mere reason that it exists.
Asier Basabe, Ruben Gonzalez, Iñaki Imaz « Piti » and Aiora Renteria of course, the team of Zea Mays has understood the cultural adventure which Ainara already is. They have given us freedom, full freedom to set their song to film (song which we do not uncover here). On top of this, they added an extra : something coming right from the heart.
Thank you. Eskerrik asko.
