Who asks answers
(Raimon)
how many countries to make a world,
how many freedoms to make democracy,
freedoms?
How many houses are needed to make a street,
how many streets to make a city,
how many trees to make a green zone,
a green zone?
How many workers are needed to make a working class,
how many bourgeois are needed to make a bourgeoisie,
how many struggles to defeat,
how many struggles?
How many "openings" are needed to break the lock,
how many peasants are needed to make a peasantry,
how many amnesties are needed to make amnesty,
amnesty?
This the wind asked me,
this I asked myself.
Who asks, answers,
who answers also asks.
One man doesn't make a country,
one country doesn't make a world,
one freedom doesn't make a democracy,
one freedom.
One house doesn't make a street,
one street doesn't make a city,
one tree doesn't make a green zone,
a green zone.
One worker doesn't make a working class,
one bourgeois doesn't make a bourgeoisie,
one battle doesn't make a victory,
one battle.
One "opening" doesn't break the lock,
one peasant doesn't make a peasantry,
one amnesty doesn't make amnesty,
amnesty.
This the wind asked me,
this I asked myself.
Who asks, answers,
who answers also asks.

Desde los veintiún años la argentina Carmen Aciar es una barcelonesa más, llegó para descubrirse en su arte por las calles de Barcelona, sumando sus propias historias desde que llegó en ese agosto de 2022 para habitar esta ciudad en sus incertidumbres, sus composiciones ya conforman su primer disco Historias mías.
El jueves 14 de marzo Mayte Martín presentó en el Teatro de la Maestranza de Sevilla su nuevo espectáculo: Tatuajes. Se trata de una colección de joyas de grandes autores universales llevados magistralmente al territorio particular de la artista. Con este concierto y con el disco que lleva el mismo nombre, rinde homenaje a la canción de autor más global, a la que traspasa fronteras y conforma una parte primordial de la memoria sentimental de diferentes generaciones.
