Very shortly after releasing her first collaboration with Judeline, Amaia presents ‘Aralar’, a new traditional single. Inspired by Basque popular music, the song incorporates the txistu – a native flute – as well as harps, tambourines, drums and whistles. In just two minutes, and with the production of Ralphie Choo and DRUMMIE, ‘Aralar’ proposes a fresh renewal of Basque folk, although given its brevity, it ends up knowing little.
The title ‘Aralar’ comes from the name of the mountain range that separates Navarra from Guipúzcoa, a place that Romero has always had “very present” through his mother, as he said in an interview with El Correo. ‘Aralar’, co-written by La Bien Querida, is inspired by Basque mythology to offer a dedication of love under a “rain of stars.”
The video clip for ‘Aralar’ is another of those surreal wonders of Amaia created together with Daniel 2000. In it, the Aralar mountain range becomes the scene of an army of Amaias who sing, play and dance in unison. The impeccable digital cloning effect and the colorful component of the piece evoke the precision and magnetism of North Korean mass dances.
On the other hand, this week Romero received the AUPA Award! at the BIME in recognition of his career, and has also offered a performance. The most memorable moment, witnessed live by JENESAISPOP, occurred when Manuel Alejandro went on stage to watch him perform ‘Como yo te amo’, the Rocío Jurado classic composed by himself. Manuel Alejandro also sang a couple of minutes before ‘I try to forget you’ by himself.
