Absolutely.

And the thing about Spain, Felix, specifically, and I think it's important to know, you know, where this sits in the context, because Spain...

You know, under their dictatorship, they were not able to create certain types of art.

They weren't able to sing publicly.

I mean, that's still, you can see like culturally in Spain, people don't dance that much when they're out in certain ways in bars.

And that has to do with this history.

And so what happened is once that ended, what you saw was this really incredible, you know, surge of punk and rock and all of these different things.

And it still carries today, especially in the north.

Do you remember, Felix, when we were up there in Bilbao and in all these places where we felt a lot of that, like even in stores and cafes, we heard a lot of that music.

There's still so many other exciting artists like these girls, but they had a special energy to me, Felix, for sure.

This was such an exciting opportunity for me, Felix.

Really, I just, I listen to so much Spanish music.

Okay, so now we're entering my most exciting, I think the most exciting thing for me.

I am a huge fan of the Spanish producers.

But nothing gets me like some of these artists in this Barcelona indie kind of jazz scene.

So we have to remember, first of all, we don't forget Barcelona.

A lot of people talk about Madrid.

It's kind of like the bigger space for music.

But oh, my God, the artists that come from Barcelona talking Rita Páez, Silvia Pérez Cruz, even Rosalía.

Now, the interesting thing to me, Felix, about Barcelona and the whole region of Catalunya is that it's not like Madrid where everyone arrives from different parts of the country or in other places in the world and they make music there.
