A new city is being created underground while the
surface is already full. I used these images, because El Nino de Elche sum-
marises the current Spanish avant-garde. He rep-
resents in his performances in a very particular way
of discontent of the Spanish youth. While Raimon de-
scribes his courage for risking a banned concert
during the dictatorship. The second, uses a way to
complain in his songs, but not mobilizing itself. For
me, Raimon is the representation of traditional fight-
ers, while El Nino de Eche is a more immobile art
form". It seems to me a very effective way to de-
scribe the change of society, and how the fighters
have changed. They both represent the anger of the
country by reflecting the way of acting against the
system.
