Celtas Cortos celebrates 40 years of musical career

Jesús Cifuentes, representing the Spanish band Celtas Cortos, reflects on the group's 40-year career during their anniversary celebrations. He notes that while the band has incorporated new musicians, their core musical approach of mestizaje and their political alignment remain unchanged.

Cifuentes describes the band as maintaining a sense of 'constant late adolescence' and staying true to the anarchist values they have defended since their inception. He attributes their longevity to a transversal audience that spans generations, from their original listeners to their children. Regarding the current musical landscape, Cifuentes suggests that contemporary national music lacks the social and ideological advocacy that characterized their era, with the exception of certain segments of the rap scene.
