A live album can be a greatest-hits package or a portrait without studio polish. Spanish trio Yeska mark their twentieth anniversary with a recording intended to capture what makes their shows tick.
The story behind the release
«Se acabó la tontería» contains 21 live tracks. The new video for «Versos Zurdos» revisits a signature song by the trio from Herencia, Ciudad Real.
The wider context
Why the live format matters
Twenty-one songs allow Yeska to look back without reducing their career to a handful of singles. The trio’s identity has developed in Spanish venues and festivals, where a song needs to survive the noise, movement and unpredictability of the room. A live album can capture that relationship more directly than another carefully layered studio production.
The focus video, «Versos Zurdos», revisits an important part of their catalogue. Earlier previews «Pintadas» and «El Cristo De Los Perros» showed other sides of the live set. Together they present an anniversary project built around the repertoire as a whole rather than a single comeback track.
Yeska have appeared on bills with Barricada, Rosendo, Reincidentes, Siniestro Total and La Fuga, and at festivals including Viña Rock. Their combination of classic rock, punk, blues and Spanish street-rock traditions belongs to a recognisable live culture. The upcoming dates make clear that the twentieth anniversary is a milestone rather than a final chapter.
Their catalogue combines classic rock, punk, blues and Spanish street-rock traditions. Releases include «Diez ases en la manga» (2010), «Versos Zurdos» (2015) and «El Incendio» (2018).
What comes next
After years of touring Spain and playing festivals including Viña Rock, forthcoming dates include Daimiel on 28 November and Lezo and Tafalla on 22 and 23 January.
Dates and practical details
The live format matters because Yeska’s history cannot be measured only in records: it also lives in venues, festival stages and an audience built over twenty years.
Why it matters
At Mewsick, music is about more than the headline: following the songs, their context and the artistic decisions that shape them. Further information from La Central.
