Vigo and its movidas Text: Carme Nogueira
I was not old enough to go out at night during the 1980s; nowadays I might be too old, but I do not mind. The era of my youth was La Movida, a cultural movement in Vigo, Madrid, Barcelona and Bilbao. Movida bands such as Siniestro Total, Semen Up, and Golpes Bajos o Los Resentidos placed themselves as an answer to the conventional music established in the market -and to the changing economic and political situation. There were free concerts in Castrelos, fashion-music-art magazines, the hairdressers, the fashion shops- and those girls that played music near my own home.
