Fangoria have given one of those interviews that only they know how to give, with a lot of headlines given with the firm intention of shocking, amusing or polemicizing, sometimes even leaving contradictions between the duo themselves or among themselves. In this case it was with the newspaper El País, in promotion of his next album ‘The Truth or Imagination’, which was presented with a single called ‘Me voy’. The album is defined as “pure and hard Eurodance”, belonging to the genre of “European electronic and dance”, although no further details are given in the interview.
It is artificial intelligence that is making headlines. At one point Nacho Canut says that all the music he has tried to make with AI is “shit”, and he dares to predict: “Artificial intelligence will not replace natural intelligence. “People who are stupid will be replaced by AI, but those who are naturally intelligent have nothing to worry about.” At another point he says: “The AI is phenomenal. I have nothing against her. You can’t have anything against intelligence. If it were called artificial idiocy, things would be different.
The duo made up of Alaska and Canut also talk about Latin, and it is Olvido who leaves a hilarious image about this genre: «We like it, but our bodies don’t. It’s like when the headlights of a car illuminate a gazelle and it freezes. We are the gazelle. He adds: “We adore Celia Cruz and Fania All-Stars, but we are more Kraftwerk.”
For his part, Nacho contributes: “We love Bad Bunny, we love Latin, but we look at Europe.”
At another point in the interview, Canut states that “everything important in Spain happened 50 years ago. “Everything important comes from the late 1970s.”
And it is at the end when they do not clarify whether they are nostalgic or not, whether the world is better than ever or not. Nacho Canut assures despite all the war conflicts of the present: «I am not a pessimist, so I am not a pessimist with the present. I think everything is going to get better, as always. There is less and less hunger and fewer and fewer people die in wars. The figures support it.” When the interviewer Martín Bianchi tells him that we have returned to the Cold War, he responds: «And before the Cold War it was Vietnam. There is always something. We are always the same and with the same things, but I am not a pessimist. “I think everything is going to get better.”
