Como sabéis, hace 10 años constituimos en Donosti una asociación sin ánimo de lucro (Club44) con la que organizamos conciertos, fundamentalmente, aunque no solo, de música americana (rock, country, folk, blues…). Por otra parte, como profesor de Derecho Internacional de la Universidad del País Vasco, he dedicado más de 30 años al estudio del conflicto del Sahara Occidental y formo parte del equipo de asesores del Frente POLISARIO, un auténtico privilegio.
En ocasiones coincidía que cuando los músicos venían a tocar en Donosti, yo volvía de algún juicio en Marruecos o en el Sahara ocupado contra activistas de derechos humanos saharauis, a los que acudo como observador internacional, y me preguntaban qué ocurría en el Sahara Occidental, algo que, en general, desconocían. A partir de ahí se me ocurrió pedirles una canción sobre el conflicto. En 2021 editamos un doble CD en una caja con 22 canciones, con el título “SINGING THROUGH THE WALL. SONGS FOR WESTERN SAHARA” (https://open.spotify.com/album/5LBroZRMuEYB4L19Z415Ko).
En 2020, “aprovechando” el confinamiento provocado por el dichoso virus, pensamos que era un momento excelente para pedirles otra canción. El resultado fue espectacular: un triple CD con 44 canciones, que se convirtió en el Volumen II de ese mismo proyecto (https://open.spotify.com/album/6tSCuP62Ell5xeclCXkMKO). Pero este proyecto era ya grande y no sabíamos cómo financiarlo. Preguntando por las posibilidades de financiación, la Diputación nos comentó la existencia de la campaña de crowdfunding de Goteo. Nos animamos a presentarnos, nuestro proyecto fue seleccionado entre los participantes, y lo sacamos adelante.
Nuestro principal objetivo al publicar estos discos no era conseguir financiación para proyectos concretos con el pueblo saharaui, sino cubrir los costos de la producción de los discos. Hay cientos de proyectos solidarios, pero queríamos que el nuestro fuera diferente: una manifestación de apoyo al pueblo saharaui a través de la cultura, de la música, que sirviera para difundir la situación que sufre este pueblo. Que la música sonara en las emisoras de radio y provocara debates, tertulias… Que la gente se preguntara por qué unos músicos, en su mayoría anglosajones, habían escrito una canción sobre el conflicto saharaui.
Este objetivo lo hemos conseguido con creces, gracias a quienes habéis participado en la campaña y al apoyo de la Diputación de Gipuzkoa. Ambos proyectos han tenido críticas musicales excelentes en revistas especializadas y han sonado en más de 60 emisoras de todo el mundo. En España se escucharon sus canciones en los programas de más difusión, dando pie a debates sobre la situación que atraviesa el pueblo saharaui después de casi 50 años de ocupación militar y de exilio. En la Cadena SER sirvió para abrir uno de los programas de mayor audiencia, “La Ventana”, presentado por Carles Francino. Yo estaba en casa oyendo la radio, y de repente se abrió el programa con los compases de una de las canciones del disco. No me lo podía creer. Teniendo en cuenta las limitaciones de orden político que caracteriza a muchos medios españoles era muy difícil que el programa de más difusión del país diera a conocer al gran público la existencia de los discos. Después de explicar el origen del proyecto, durante casi una hora se entrevistaba a saharauis sobre los últimos acontecimientos en el territorio, sobre la vuelta a la guerra. También sonó en otro de los programas de mayor audiencia de esa cadena: “A vivir, que son dos días”, de Javier Del Pino, en varios programas de Radio 3, y en infinidad de emisoras locales de radio. Enviamos ejemplares a cerca de 100 emisoras de radio de diferentes países… Todo un éxito.
Aunque no llegamos a la recaudación “ideal”, con la que pretendíamos organizar conciertos para presentar los discos, con la ayuda de los ayuntamientos de Donosti y Bilbao pudimos hacerlo, en el Teatro Principal y en Bilborock, respectivamente, que tuvieron un gran éxito de público y una repercusión importante en la prensa local.
Mediante este pequeño resumen queremos agradeceros de corazón vuestro apoyo a quienes habéis participado de una u otra forma en esta campaña: cofinanciadores, Diputación de Gipuzkoa, Goteo, ayuntamientos de Donosti y Bilbao, y otra mucha gente que ha apoyado el proyecto (músicos que han escrito y cedido sus canciones, técnicos de sonido, estudios de grabación…), etc. Sin la ayuda de todos/as y cada uno/a de vosotros/as no habría sido posible. De esta forma hemos conseguido el objetivo principal que nos habíamos planteado: dar mayor visibilidad al conflicto saharaui a través de la música.
El éxito de esa campaña nos animó a participar en la de 2022. Esta vez con artistas de todo el Estado, en cualquiera de las lenguas oficiales. Y hemos conseguido un nuevo éxito, que esperamos que tenga tanta o más repercusión que el primero. La campaña de crowdfunding fue de maravilla, y ya contamos con canciones de cerca de 50 artistas del primer nivel. Pero de esa campaña os daremos cuenta en unos meses. Ahora toca celebrar y rendir cuentas del proyecto “SINGING THROUGH THE WALL. SONGS FOR WESTERN SAHARA” (Volumen II).
