Tolosa, in Gipuzkoa, is the birthplace of many music groups, which often started in Bonberenea, a squatted hall since 1997, self-managed by a local committee, and which has organized numerous concerts, serving as a springboard for new groups.
Bide Ertzean, created in Tolosa in 1998, was able to bathe in this musical atmosphere, a real mix, a meeting place for musicians and fans from different backgrounds.
Bide Ertzean is pop music, carried by guitars and very elaborate melodies, and a fine career, which continues, at a lighter pace, even today.
“Bide Ertzean”: inspiration by the wayside
Bide Ertzean is the name of the group, but also that of one of their first songs: an ode to poetry, to creation, to the desire to move forward, even when it’s complicated… dreams can be thwarted, but nothing prevents dreaming.
