Everything seems simple with Chill Mafia. Even in his world, beyond the clips and directly, for the first time. It is easy to find a place to sit in the sun, on a parapet, and on the ground to talk to its four members, Benat Rodrigo, the same Cilicia Frexco, Irene Cervantes or Irene 3, Julien (Flakofonk) Goldarazena, and Sarah Losua, the same Sarah Goksu. The words “honey” or “king” are most often repeated during the conversation. There is a careful look, some hugs and direct reinforcement, such as “direct” and “total” towards other words. Chill Mafia, ill For the initiators it is a band, a group of friends who also make music and have it Adhesive. Not among them, though they would definitely do it to someone outside if it hurts another of them. Ყოფნა AdhesiveIn his own words, there is an expression that defines “you have achieved a little bit to be sought and followed.” The most unexpected phenomenon of state music in this decade is the combination of voices, producers, DJs, designers and graffiti artists coming from Pamplona and its surroundings. Can resurrect a dead person like a kebab at the right moment of the night. But also stewed with different hands and thematic layers where style, generation, language and social class have a lot to say.
The title of your first Mixtepe Published in February 2021; Esoregatic x Berpizkunda, It was already a declaration of intent: “Easter welcomes you.” Double blindness to what they consider to be a modest and predictable Basque music scene for many, many years. Ten tracks with simulators and a chapel in which rap, dub, reggae, punk and reggaeton collide. Direct appeals? Several generations at once: Collaboration with Xabier Lete, Erramun Martikorena, Cicatriz, Potato, Doraemon, and their friend Tatxers (Note: The other big Basque revelation of the season, or some jams Realizes Zarama of this century). Last year, the Chill Mafia continued to release songs that also flew high. ᲔThere is BedeinkatuaWhere the blink of an eye “Ikimilik meets Jigir” Says a lot: The connection between Mikel Laboa and Tego Calderon, whose gang is partly a daughter. Now, after selling in Pamplona, Vitoria or San Sebastian and intending to return to Madrid, they are performing for the first time in Barcelona, where they are also taking part in the CCCB Subsol Festival.
A popular neighborhood usually prints a character. Some members of the Chill Mafia are Mendilor and Rochapea, the protagonist of “La Rocha”. 31014. “We live in the neighborhood, but also in the center, because everything is close to Pamplona. True, the center is of little importance. We all know it. It is very easy to see the dichotomy of classes in the city in two minutes. Walking. The band – young, with its hard core in 1998-2002 – was born three years ago in a party context, first with friends, then with musical and artistic command. Music is a more mediated art. Our graffiti artists and designers are very good, but what goes viral is the music. Chill Mafia. This is an open group: if we see our colleague who knows how to do it, then we are going to bring him in. ” “We like to use music to draw attention to other friends’ creative work,” Irene agrees.
The ego is diluted in the collective. There is an exchange of “barras”, ie phrases and poems, between the two. Ideas offered, borrowed, taken. “It’s all a little bit for everyone. We have the dynamics to ask ourselves,” Irene says. “Better songs are created that way. The rapper, that the only artist who has influenced your work, you’re outdated. I would be lying if that were the truth. Says Benat. “Exactly, it’s our strength to have the whole gang behind us,” Irene confirms.
The secret to mixing Chill Mafia styles with Bennett lies in the fact that “there are fewer genre mixing complexes in our generation. The dog Suggests that there are good guitars and Hardcore That Daddy Yankee has good songs. If I only had to listen to one genre my whole life, I would die of grief. That’s right, there is another. “Some things,” says Beniat, “will happen to us in a few years.” Tulipamp, one of our producers, told me the other day that he was looking forward to the day when they would say, “But what are you doing?” “Okay, yes. And I’ll be happy that day, just as Fermin Muguruza was with us to have such children,” Benat concludes. Origin also plays a role abroad. “It seems that if something is done outside of Madrid, such as the caliphate in Andalusia, or us, it is super exotic,” Irene begins.
Indeed, the mixed Basque-Spanish language used is awesome because it comes in not particularly Basque. Chill Mafia sings as if speaking on the street, but it is still the result of conscious action. “In Navarre there is a conflict with the Basques, from there people who have been there all their lives who do not value the language. And then other things like my great aunt who only spoke Basque and because of that she suffered such harassment. “He did not even point to his children in the Basque Country,” said Sarah. For Beniat, “you also have to keep in mind that thirty kilometers south of Pamplona you can not learn Basque if you do not pay. Living in Navarre, Basque is quite crazy and you have to do it. As a conscious act, as a decision. There is no institutional will.” In the world of Chill Mafia There are a few words you need to know, not necessarily from Basque, but from Navarre Habitat Villabesas There are urban buses, pitxu This is Speed, Customized These are the fish markets and low places that children rent to play with FIFA And smoke joints. Დa Juror: “People from the nationalist left come from the old days YarixusPeople from the army in which the gypsies of Pamplona were formed Lawyer Or Jurutus. We can say humiliation, but if someone comes from Madrid to say it, be careful. Is J-word “Navarra,” they claim.
While his lyrics and staging seem essentially silly and pointless, you should look no further. In Chill Mafia there is contact, we have already said, and not just physical, they talk to each other with love and also with the transparency that true friendship gives. “At a time when passive aggression is in vogue, punk is love of colleagues. I find it more revolutionary to tell your friend that you love me more than to spend the whole day arguing over everything. We need it. Love like water. Music is paramount, above all, you love each other.” , – admits Beniat. “And I’m so mediatic, so it’s, look, I need good love. It’s a relief, in the lyrics, if you’re a good guy in real life. Because I’m trying to make Rocky comfortable, I’m going to say. We rely on nonsense, it’s “yes, you said it,” Irene argues. It’s a bit of a catharsis. “” And so – sums up Sarah – you have similar songs Oh what an emotion ი Scar“.
The class component is represented in the Chill Mafia. Even unequivocally: theirs Hello La Mila! Outside the hill ი Hello Baraka! Down the Negro They refer to the areas of Pamplona and Vizkaia with a strong social gap. “But if you do not need to read Lenin to understand the class struggle,” Benia intervenes. San Jorge, a rough district in Pamplona, they offered Pincho de Tortilla or Coca-Cola; He came to Poste and they did not even look him in the face. “No one is looking for a guide to revolutionize Chill Mafia’s poems. Jackal. “Politics is everything. If I say I’m tired of work, it ‘s political. We do not like obvious poems that say revolution has to be one way or another. I do not have the problem of positioning myself as I am. I’m not going to.” Is to do it constantly. I go back earlier, it seems more transgressive to me to tell a colleague that you love me than to be with him that the police are bad. “I’m more interested in painting the landscape than in telling you how to do things. I’re painting the landscape and it ‘s going to spoil, eh,” says Beniat. “If you look to the future, everything’ s dark.” Nor is it just to make you laugh. You can not think about the future, after five years. We are very committed to living from day to day. “We are pretty good people most of this generation because of how spoiled we are,” he said. Irene gives one of the phrases that does not leave you for hours: “I notice that people are either depraved or fatal.”
A fun fact: Chill Mafia has been in contact with the beer brand and Astore sportswear brand before any other record company. In fact, the labels did it when they had already published a Mixtepe That at this point has already been given Remixes By VVV [Trippin’ You], Miguel Grimaldo or Jung Prado. Their declared dream is to escape from uncertainty, but with music they still do not earn a living. They get to cover personal expenses and, above all, as Sarah notes, “For the first collective purpose we had, it is to buy good equipment for everyone and the locals. We invest in the group as long as we live from it.” For Irene, the dream is to “push each other forward.” Benat’s calculations are as follows: “If four out of 17 come out of poverty, the rest will be better. The Chill Mafia will save a little of my life. It came with a school failure. If we want to live with that? “In Eroski or ETT and we’re going crazy, but I do not have the opportunity to teach more. Oh, and if I have the money, I want to buy a house, but my neighborhood.” Here’s what the Chill Mafia is like now! Adhesive To victory and also to each other. Sarah remembers the one who believes that friendship can make no one ugly if Work Go alone alone in the near future ill? “Jack. Dembo. Bachatas. Whatever the wind gives us.”
