|Tesi honetan aztertzen da pop musikaren historia soziala Euskal Herriko testuinguruan, XX. mendeko 60. hamarkadatik aurrera. Kontrakulturala den musika mota berri bat txertatzen da Euskal Herrian, euskal kultura tradizionala –eta une historiko horretan oso egoera subordinatuan, menperatuan- berrosatzen ari den fase historiko batean; abertzaletasun berriak, momentu horretan sortzen ari dena, kontrakultura global horren osagai asko hartzen du eta musikan euskal kantagintza berriarekin hasi eta euskal punkarekin jarraitzen duen aldaketa prozesu interesgarria gertatzen da, azken urteotan, nolabait, kemena eta bultzada galtzen duen arte.
Horrela, aspaldiko –edo ez hain aspaldiko- txalapartaren ttakunak eta diska jartzaileek binilozko diskoei egiten dizkieten urradurak –scratch- euskal pop musikaren hotsak, osagaiak, bilakatzen dira iragana eta geroa amesten duen kultur identitate berri bezain betikoaren zerbitzuan, gure espezieak sormenerako duen erraztasunari esker inoiz asmatu dugun bide sendoenetakoa erabiliaz: erritmoa, melodia, armonia, kantua, arrazoia eta emozioa bideratzen duen zarata hori, musika deritzaguna.
This dissertation presents a study of the social history of pop music in the Basque context from the 1960s onwards. A new type of music representing a counterculture was introduced into the Basque Country at a historical moment when traditional Basque culture, which was at a very low point at the time, was in the process of reconstituting itself. The new nationalism which was then crystalizing adopted many elements of this global counterculture. An interesting process of change occurred starting with Basque New Chanson and continuing with Basque Punk, down to the present day when it is losing impulse and momentum.
So the old (or not so old) txakun of the txalaparta and the DJs’ scratches on vinyl have fused into the sounds and components of Basque pop music, at the service of a cultural identity that dreams of the past and the future, both new and eternal, using one of the surest ways ever invented by the creativity of our species: the noise bringing together rhythm, melody, harmony, song, thought and feeling that we call music.
