Santiago AuserĂ³n is for anyone who does not know, ex-leader of Radio Futura's alter ego Juan Perro. Your opinion about the current situation of the music market must consider not forget that Al Green was born in-with-La Movida eighties, continued to provide hits to the formulas in the nineties, and that Juan Perro interesting project has been extended since then today-with a new album in the making, this musician's career over three decades.
I could not stop playing this one part of a recent interview in which he describes his vision the panorama of English folk music.

Question: On your website says that in Spain we have lost interest in new things and that part of English society has lost creativity. What do you think it should?
Well, if you've got here and the topic interests you, you see the picture is not very encouraging, but I'm sure you have ideas to make this change and are willing to discuss it in the comments!

Question: On your website says that in Spain we have lost interest in new things and that part of English society has lost creativity. What do you think it should?
For me, the Royal Society, the street, the community, not ever lose your creativity, there, there is still life on the planet and in English society, there is still good music among young people, and continues having the public interest by adults about the music throughout the years has been able to select.
The lack of creativity does not ascribe it to English society, I ascribe it to showcase cultural shows that English society through the media, especially the general media to manipulate the information with interest specific business, this is what is happening in English society.
We live a sweet moment of hope in the transition, after many years of dictatorship, when we began to realize that Spain could be a modern country, which in Spain we might have painters, musicians, singers, groups, movie stars and directors who began to function as outsiders, we could have a culture and abroad, in America or Europe, that was the feeling.
Then, in general, the English company shared that moment of excitement, everyone shared, and, speaking of rock in particular, everyone wanted to be a rock star in Spain, even people who really had little rock and roll in the body, and everyone is pointing the formula and wanted to get on TV with a pint of rock and roll.
But that went out of fashion, because they always rock and roll has played a role, first use it to attract attention and then coming up with easier ways to produce, not requiring the formation of a special musical criteria, not a particular sensibility, and then exploit goods easier.
is what has happened here, where creativity has been lost in the media world that is linked to large-scale industry, which has cornered the media, including public media, ie through public media have made great marketing operations that led to the song popular in Spain by a path very manipulated.
And today is only profitable in Spain make very commercial music, and production planning, calculating the minute and the second where you must enter the chorus, and calculating as it should be to lower the little letters that nothing bothers and music that sounds like something that I have heard and taken, touching the plagiarism, the limit of plagiarism, calculating for us not to sue, but it sounds, which flow directly, ie working with such pettiness and mediocrity, from the industry itself and in the media that are linked to them, even the public media as RTVE, echoing the great operations, allied with the operators of communication.
face of such tremendous powers as from media groups, civil society, has little to do, the work of our younger siblings and our children do not come to light, because they have nowhere exposed, and secondly, direct circuit deteriorates, fewer and fewer places to play, that is, we're losing a whole generation of creators, yet, the old dogs like me who have had the good fortune to play for a while, we managed to keep the name and a halo of prestige and public presence, but thinking about kids now, people great, better prepared than when I started twenty times, and really have no channel for public production, therefore, we are missing a generation and we are witnessing a cultural impoverishment of our country very seriously, and a country without songs is a society that has no future.
Or the new songs have something to say, or new songs come forward to the future, or English society is increasingly less eager to invent itself. The songs are a very sensitive thermometer, mercury is the society, when the temperature rises in the songs, is that society is alive, the economic fabric too, but it is the spirit, the cultural horizon.
And a country without good songs, no novelty, no enthusiasm for new songs coming portraying the times, is a country with a dim horizon. That is what I perceive, but I say, all this is an artificial image, surface casing is plastic, the English society, in the background is rich in music and poetry projects, but the kids get bored of trying, because You can earn a living from it, because all the money we have to win them take him ready, I am old, sorry I'm an old girl, and I'm fed up, then I do not feel like losing a gram energy in the wrong direction, even if you end up working for free and giving the disks, I do not, want to make good songs, I want to keep the illusion in my work and communicate with younger generations and adult people who are interested in the culture in our language, and I do not care nothing , if you end up playing in the street will end, and that's it, I had very good luck and so far I feel privileged.
Well, if you've got here and the topic interests you, you see the picture is not very encouraging, but I'm sure you have ideas to make this change and are willing to discuss it in the comments!
