Famous argentine cumbia singer Gilda organized a concert in 1995 inside the "Unidad Penal N° 9" located in La Plata, Buenos Aires. It's quite famous because she started dancing with all of the inmates during the show.
I actually had an opportunity to be at a concert in a prison in Poland - as a camera operator. It's a weird experience... can't wait to watch this video! EDIT: after watching - interesting as always ;) amazing stories and I can totally relate to the experiences mentioned by artists who performed for such an audience (although, I was not really performing).
@@TheIndogamer I'd have to ask friends, they were the band ;) it's a good question though. I think there may have been some issues with privacy of the inmates being recorder. I'll ask my friends and maybe post a link.
@@TheIndogamer I got it, it was finally published as a short documentary in polish TV station. I cannot share the link as YT doesn't allow for it for some reason. So I don't really know how to share it.
@@itisjustmeagain I mean… it’s kinda just disconnected ramblings of a mad man. Like if you ever see him in interviews, it’s not much different from his music.
@@LdeinerProductions I’ve watched numerous interviews he did and they can be very off the wall lol. He’s pretty calm in the interview he did with Ronald Reagan Jr. The interviews give an image of him as more manic and impulsive than he actually was. He knew a significant portion of Americans were terrified of him (including some of the journalists interviewing him) and would fuck with them. He’s certainly unhinged but a lot of that was just for attention. There’s an entire album of covers of his songs (by some pretty well known artists and including the songs he gave to recording artists like Dennis Wilson to record prior to the Tate-Labianca murders.) Some of his songs are shit but some of it isn’t half bad; kind of sounds like Love with a good chunk of the talent cut loose.
I love your channel and all your videos, as a basque I didn't expect you to talk about this topic, thanks honestly for your research! eskerrikasko lagun!
You mentioned in this video that seeing Ska Punks more political roots was interesting, I happen to listen to some quite political ska punk bands, they're worth checking out if you find that sort of thing interesting. In order of most to least Political: Inner Terrestrials Culture Shock Citizen Fish Smiley and The Underclass Broken 3 Ways The King Blues
It would be interesting to hear different strange locations for gigs. For example, one of the first gigs of cult prog/punk/pop/&c. outfit Cardiacs was in a school, something iirc several members were bemused how that even happened
I have fallen in love with this chanel, thank you youtube algorithm....you're perhaps not as useless as first thought. Bravo to this chanels creators, excellent work...thank you !!
@@papasquat3882 Imagine doing a prison concert, a concept initially conceived as way to connect with prisoners in the sense that we are all human, and then thinking all the prisoners were savages.
1:42 Whats funny/ironic here is that despite the movie being about Spanish nationalism. They're actually speaking Italian as it was probably made there but idk for sure. I know that they are in fact speaking Italian since my father is Italian and thus I can understand a lot of it
Apparently it was made by an Italian filmmaker and both Italian and Spanish dubs were produced. I had copies of both but the Italian was much higher quality so I went with it 😂
The ETA once tried to rob the biggest bank in Madrid. But as they were fleeing the building, a shutter came down in front of them. Then another came down behind them, trapping them. The moral of this story is, obviously, ‘never put all your basques in one exit’
I probably would have thought the Queens of the Stone Age story was fake too. Like, on top of the stuff you already mentioned, why would you book a druggy stoner band to play at a rehab center? The stuff must have been completely clueless of who they were, lol.
I got to see Joey Medina ( a comedian) on the Tucson complex in AZ on the whetstone yard. He told us he would buy us a beer if we ever ran in to him on the street.
Before starting this channel I used to score a independent movies/documentaries for beer money. That track was made for a project that never ended up getting released, and now it’s one of my go-to’s for bandsplaining 😝. Probably not the answer you’re hoping for, since it isn’t even a full song- basically just the snippet you hear in these videos. But I’m flattered you asked.
Glad to see you talking about the Basque Radical Rock scene
👍 would love it if he could do a follow-up! Hint, hint!
Listening to Sarri Sarri in 2021 after Sarri finally came home is even better :) Thanks for the video !
Thanks again for helping out so much in that story! I think I'd still be sitting here trying to figure out how to pronounce Euskadi Ta Askatasuna 😂
@@Bandsplaining You're welcome, thanks for all the well researched videos :)

@@Featinwe Who was the band performing?
@@-xirx- they are called KA1 - they actually have an account here on YT with clips I helped to make 😊
Charles Manson did a few concerts in prison. I have one on vinyl actually. Just as batshit crazy as you would expect
THE WOOORLD IS MA BABY
I was actually surprised by how much I was enjoying it the first time I checked out Charlie’s music 😂
He certainly was entertaining lol

@@itisjustmeagain That’s really cool. Gotta check those out.
Excited to see crime got mentioned and a backstory. I heard from a once San Fransisco local in the 80s how crazy crime was off stage.

Damn, was not expecting Jards Macalé in this video. Great stuff!

In order of most to least Political:
Inner Terrestrials

Citizen Fish
Smiley and The Underclass
Broken 3 Ways
The King Blues
Watching this from my contraband iPad in my cell now
Awesome concept for a video!
Keep it up man!
It would be interesting to hear different strange locations for gigs. For example, one of the first gigs of cult prog/punk/pop/&c. outfit Cardiacs was in a school, something iirc several members were bemused how that even happened
Yo, Cardiacs spotted. Nice.
Whenever some1 mentions Cardiacs I like the comment and drop this reply.
As you should. @@maximkammerer2813
Your videos are great, original, well researched and interesting obviously! Keep up with the good work 🎼
hell yeah i was hoping you'd tell more about prison concerts!
I have fallen in love with this chanel, thank you youtube algorithm....you're perhaps not as useless as first thought.
Bravo to this chanels creators, excellent work...thank you !!
Another great video!! Keep up the great work
I just watched the first prison concert video and subscribed yesterday haha
I love your videos keep up the good work 🐸
“all I could see were crimes written on their faces: rape, murder, mutilation”
The Prisoners: just some random guys
sounds like he thought they were a different species or something

Like wtf lol doubtful
@@MrOgel-fj9wx A punk band that's got more in common with the cops is some shit.
E.T.A was pronounced like etta, as in Etta James
Thanks....That was very interesting.
Eyyy I really liked your last video so seeing this is great

Just letting you know that the clip on 1:42 is in Italian and not in Spanish
Amazing channel
The fact that a punk band called crime would have such a reductive view of prisoners is so funny (sad, but funny)
at the rehab facility i was in, we definitely weren't allowed to discuss drugs, FWIW
Awesome video
Hey bandsplaining. You have to check out the Khmer rock scene of the 60s and 70s. Its certainly as interesting as the ZamRock scene in my opinion
The ETA once tried to rob the biggest bank in Madrid. But as they were fleeing the building, a shutter came down in front of them. Then another came down behind them, trapping them. The moral of this story is, obviously, ‘never put all your basques in one exit’
I like how a band called Crime was playing at a prison
Okay. Now this is epic.
Le epic prison with sp0rk
*XD while getting sentenced!*

01:42 this bit's in Italian tho 😄
It's an Italian movie by Gillo Pontecorvo.
Yes that's right
Does anyone know the name of the track played at 15:40? It’s often used in these videos.

how about BTO in Manitoba
Would love to see a video on the pinoy hip hop scene
I have your bell dinged idk why some of your view counts are so low, can’t believe CZcams didn’t show me these
ETA Looking kind of familiar...
CRIME!
where is Led Belly lol he play in prison and murder too.
Queens hahaha, wow
Crime!
Kanye west played a show in a jail aswell
14th 🤪
You can talk about drugs in a rehab facility but don't dare let them hear you talk about them a positive manor, big no no
Arriba España
It's pretty funny how a lot of US hardcore bands like The Dicks loved communism yet the USSR painted a very different picture. Ironic.
I would argue, when opposing a self desceibed fascist government, non-violonce is the extreme measure.
Basque language isnt pleasing to the ear
errrr...punk'd n e v e r been intertwined with ska
