We wanted to have that sound where you simply connect the instruments, position the microphones and hit it. That it seems the band is playing in there with you in your room, and that what you hear is our purest and crudest state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote is-style-default\"><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;La gente deber\u00eda poder convivir con todos y ser tolerantes a las diferencias sin ser privados de sus derechos.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><cite>Jorge martinez, ilegales &#8211; 2019<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Estamos muy contentos\npor su regreso a M\u00e9xico y recordamos con mucha emoci\u00f3n su presentaci\u00f3n en el\nVive Latino. \u00bfQu\u00e9 nos puedes contar al respecto? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>El Vive Latino me encanta y esa fue nuestra primera\nexperiencia en tan enorme festival. Me la pas\u00e9 muy bien aunque fue tambi\u00e9n un\nproblema porque hay un mont\u00f3n de bandas en un mont\u00f3n de escenarios; y entonces\ntodo hay que hacerlo muy r\u00e1pido y cronometrado; y con solo 40 minutos para\ntratar de hacer un<em> setlist<\/em> digno que\nresuma casi 40 a\u00f1os de recorrido. Lo aprovechamos al m\u00e1ximo y fue una gran\noportunidad para nosotros pero ahora con este concierto en solitario viene la\ngran oportunidad tambi\u00e9n pero de regalar una noche vasta y que nos permita dar\nuna experiencia completa de la trayectoria de <strong>Illegal<\/strong>. I am frankly very happy with this upcoming experience.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Me imagino entonces\ncon esa enorme trayectoria se vuelve siempre complicado armar un setlist ya que\nal final tienes que dejar tal o cual canci\u00f3n que te gusta o consideras\nimportante porque de no hacerlo el concierto ser\u00eda eterno<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I totally agree. We have almost 300 songs to play but we are definitely going to play less than 35 or 37 songs. We can do it because we have very fit musicians who can resist it. Our shows flow at full speed, very intense and with little rest between songs. It is a demanding experience up and down the stage and although in the end my heart ends up pumping hard to everything it gives, it is how we like to do things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/3103958-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28008\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/3103958-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/3103958-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/3103958-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/3103958-1170x658.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/3103958-585x329.jpg 585w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/3103958.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/3103958-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28008\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/3103958-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/3103958-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/3103958-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/3103958-1170x658.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/3103958-585x329.jpg 585w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/3103958.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Centr\u00e1ndonos en los\nsencillos recientes de <em>&quot;Rebellion&quot;,<\/em> al\nhablar de \u201cSi no luchas te matas\u201d y su video tan hist\u00f3rico as\u00ed como la l\u00edrica\nque habla de lo com\u00fan que ha sido a trav\u00e9s del tiempo morir por cosas como la\nreligi\u00f3n o el rey \u00bfConsideras estamos de cierto modo obligados a que la historia\nsiempre est\u00e9 escribi\u00e9ndose con tinta de sangre? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until now and since the earth rotates and even before humans, the species have always been in constant conflict seeking survival and supremacy. Now, another thing is that the tendency in the civilized world is that the countries look for wars specifically for economic reasons. Since the 1940s, the Balkans, etc., have been constant economic wars, and let&#039;s not talk about the United States that its natural state seems to be constantly seeking wars of this type. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Mexico, for example, we know there is an internal war that has cost a lot of blood and, for many years, Spain was besieged by terrorism. We are an aggressive and surviving species, and that is how we are. Our song focuses on the Carlist hymn and this stupidity that <em>&quot;By God, the fatherland and the King our parents died; and for them we will also die \u201d. <\/em>With this theme we express the opposite, we do not want to die for any of that and we want that history not to repeat itself because we are repugnant at the idea of dying for something like that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Y en esa forma de\nactuar de Ilegales, su segundo sencillo da un giro completamente y habla de \u201cMi\namigo Omar\u201d, haciendo una clara referencia a la homosexualidad del personaje y\nque aun as\u00ed es un hombre de mundo, a diferencia de muchos maricones que lo son\nsin tener forzosamente que ser individuos gay. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Risas) Entiendo eso de hacer diferencia entre el maric\u00f3n y\nel homosexual porque eres mexicano. Tengo amigos mexicanos y s\u00e9 que pueden\nhacer esa diferencia de la manera en que t\u00fa la expresas. El tema se centra un\npoco en los derechos de los homosexuales que han sido pisoteados constantemente\ny hace apenas unos 30 a\u00f1os estaban privados de un mont\u00f3n de derechos. <em>&quot;My Friend Omar&quot;<\/em> entonces habla de un\ntipo que es homosexual pero es tambi\u00e9n una buena persona, y que se mueve con\ntal solvencia en su entorno que a todos les simpatiza sin importar su\npreferencia sexual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is common to form ghettos where homosexuals gather so as not to be disturbed. From my point of view ghettos should not exist and not only with homosexuals but with blacks, Latinos, those who profess another religion and even for rockers: history has taught us that segregating and dividing is not the solution and that People should be able to live with everyone and be tolerant of differences without being deprived of their rights. We give voice to that idea with a punk outburst that I must say, I really like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Finalmente \u00bfGustas\ndejar un mensaje para los fans en M\u00e9xico que ya esperan verte en el Plaza\nCondesa? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I appreciate the space and for the Mexican fans who will be able to see us in a complete concert, we assure you that there will be songs from all the albums. We will choose themes from our first work in 1982 to the freshest and most current. The songs of <strong>Illegal<\/strong> they do not age and even those launched at the beginning are very valid. The one who grows old is me (laughs), but songs that we launched so long ago can be heard and lived with the freshness of when they were made. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;La gente deber\u00eda poder convivir con todos y ser tolerantes a las diferencias sin ser privados de sus derechos.&#8221;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":28007,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[445,502,2232],"tags":[703,2686,2729],"class_list":["post-27976","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entrevistas","category-punk-rock","category-rock-cd-reviews","tag-entrevista","tag-ilegales","tag-jorge-martinez"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27976","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27976"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27976\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28007"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
