Carolina Durante singer Diego Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez and writer Javier Aznar headlined the third day of ‘Letters and Football’. On Friday the great Irvine Welsh (author of Trainspotting) will chat with Amets Arzallus<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thursday’s edition of ‘Letters and Football’ explored the intersection of music, literature and football thanks to our two distinguished speakers: Diego Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez, lead singer of Madrid-based indie rock band Carolina Durante, and Javier Aznar, a talented writer and journalist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the outset, Javier took the lead in the conversation, having grown accustomed to this role through his work as host of the \u201cHotel Jorge Juan\u201d podcast, where he interviews various figures from the world of culture and art.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Both football fans and Real Madrid supporters, they made no secret of their fondness for Athletic Club. \u201cThe Cathedral is impressive,\u201d the singer admitted, whilst Aznar praised Ernesto Valverde and even revealed that a distant relative of his, Roberto de Arteche, had been president of Athletic Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rapport between Diego and Javier \u2013 old friends \u2013 became clear as the conversation progressed. Javier went through the Carolina Durante’s songs, which, in one way or another, football plays a central role, particularly the hit \u201cHamburguesas\u201d and \u201cEl himno t\u00edtular\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both of them proudly declared themselves football fans, setting themselves apart from those artists and intellectuals who seem to hide their passion as if it were something to be ashamed of.. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all, it was a very entertaining and interesting conversation \u2013 spontaneous, natural, full of anecdotes, jokes and interesting facts.<\/p>\n\n\n
