Forty-one editions later, Rock Albox is still sounding strong. Last Saturday, 24 October, the festival brought together hundreds of fans for a night of punk rock and reunions, with Commando 9mm, El Último Ke Zierre, Kaos Urbano, Los de Marras and La Repolla on stage, as reported by La Voz de Almería and La Comarca.
The party started earlier, with free concerts by La Rabia, Ely Rockberto and Five Rock in the Plaza Mayor.
A night of reunions
The main night was opened by Commando 9mm, a historic band that was reunited with its audience and featured a collaboration with Albox local Fran González, of La Rabia. Next came El Último Ke Zierre (EUKZ), the band from Burriana that will celebrate four decades next year and that this time settled some unfinished business: three years ago it had to pull out of the line-up because of the illness of one of its members.
Kaos Urbano was one of the big sensations of this edition and Los de Marras went for the classics with a solid sound. La Repolla, playing on home turf, brought the night to a close, and the crowd asked them for the songs that keep alive the legacy of Evaristo, an essential figure of punk rock.
The councillor responsible for the festival, Luisa Granero, said that “this year’s edition reaffirms our commitment to Rock Albox”, an event which, in her words, is “capable of bringing different generations together around a shared passion”.
And few events can boast anything like it: La Voz de Almería presents it as the festival of its kind with the most consecutive editions in the country. A story written from inland Almería, with local bands and bands from elsewhere sharing the stage year after year.
From elValle Actualidad, we can only celebrate that rock still has a home in Albox. And may it keep playing for at least another 41 editions.
