7 Eskale, in Basque Zazpi Eskale, is an atypical group which played from 1994 to 1998: two bertsulari, Igor Elortza and Unai Iturriaga, and the famous bassist of the Hertzainak group, Josu Zabala.
These three thieves once performed a musical performance on the occasion of the Week for the Fight against Poverty, with four other musician friends.
The public loved it, the one-day adventure turned into a beautiful story, of words, notes, encounters and concerts.
Zazpi Eskale
Zazpi Eskale is one of the songs from their debut album. On a very jazzy musical background, a smoky basement atmosphere, the text evokes beggars, who support each other in their misery, the solidarity that binds them, and the contempt of most of the people they meet, when this does not happen. is not meanness to them.
A social satyr that has not aged a bit more than 20 years after its publication.
