A book compiling 20 years of work by illustrator and designer Jorge Alderete, linked to the underground scene of national and international rock.

1965, the Giants of Pamplona was invited to march in New York. But not everyone can quit: because of racial discrimination, the US authorities prohibit the participation of the two black giants. From this historical fact, Black is beltza tells the story of Manex who launches into a long journey that will witness key events in history: the murder of Malcolm X, the eccentricities of the characters in the Factory, the Black Panthers, the proto-hippie psychedelia of early rock festival.

The book is the result of many, many nights of beers and rock. Thus was born another project of Dr. Alderete, music fan and grand imam of characters of the night. A book of portraits and much more than portraits. People, friends ... the usual and occasionally. A book to show once again that the "do it yourself", is still alive.

The exhibition is the result of years of Oceania graphic, history, anthropology and ethnographic research, in particular Rapa Nui culture. It is also a personal tribute to great artists such as William Hodges, Gaspard Duchy of Vancy, Pierre Loti, etc. who built the first images that the Western world would know of the South Pacific Islands.

In the last decade, the recovery of drawing in contemporary artistic production has become the re-valuation of this practice as a democratic language insubordinable. The overflow of this visibility has also watering of other areas such as illustration and graphic design, as well as extensive development in areas of popular culture.
