The artistic panorama worries me a lot, we have reached a point where the technical level of the artist is valued more than the emotional and interpretive level and this is dangerous.
Interview
Spanish Musican Miguel Jaubert
By Azad Karimi
The ignorance of mankind is endless. The level of ignorance is not the same in individuals and in societies. One thing is more dangerous than ignorance: pretending to be ignorant. For what is called expediency. That is, to deny an issue because it is to the detriment of others to disclose it. That is, to sacrifice a victim again, so as not to jeopardize the interests of others who have committed this heinous crime.
For example, in Kurdistan-Iran and in the city where my paternal family lives, women are being killed in recent months. The last case happened in the last one or two days. But more catastrophic is denial, justification, and belittling. I wrote a while ago that the murder of women by husbands, brothers, and fathers in Kurdistan is related to so-called honor killings or Namousparezi. But following the murder of a woman in( Sna) Sanandaj, an official in Sanandaj has stated that the Sanandaj killings are not related to the phenomenon of Namousparezi...
He is Kurdish, and it is interesting that he grew up in that culture. So everything he says about this topic is a lie.
What happens is that in terms of quantity and time, it relevant to one thing: honor killings or by Kurdish language: Namousparezi!
He negligently thinks that several women should be killed every day under this pretext so that this situation takes the form of a phenomenon!
Murder disturbs the peace and social order. The tribal system, especially in Kurdistan-Iran, has been destroyed, so to speak, the chief of the tribe decides and punishes is not exact. So why does this happen and happen again? The answer is fixed in social norms that they do not want to disappear. Like Iran's civil and criminal laws, which are based on religion. But more painful than these laws is the non-implementation of laws designed to serve the interests of women. These rules are very rare but they are not enforced either.
Of course, the economic and political frustrations of Kurdish men, overwhelm many of them in inner anger that, in cases such as honor killings, also drowns women and daughters in the family.
In other parts of Iran, because men do not have this weakness, they behave much more dangerously. The scope of their criminal behaviour also extends to society. Of course, the implicit support of religious-conservative people gives more impudence and self-confidence to guilty men. Of course, a new phenomenon called Gasht-e- Ershad has emerged, which harasses women everywhere and treats them violently under the pretext of protecting the principles of Islam. They have even crossed the borders of Kurdish honor(Namousparezi) and beat women in front of their husbands. Terrible images of this are being published on the streets of non-Kurdish Iranian cities such as Tehran, Karaj, Isfahan, and other cities. Unfortunately, the situation of women in Iran is very bad, and in Turkey, the women's murder rate is also very high.
In the West, sometimes, women are killed by men and husbands, and their number does not fall into the category of Namousparezi and women's right to property by men because the law provides penalties for murder and does not treat a woman like a commodity bought by her husband.
However, man or woman is a complex creature. I wish the man could reach a stage of intellectual development that would free himself from the cage of dangerous and backward thoughts and turn the world into a safe place to live.
I wish success and happiness to my dear friend Miguel. God bless him and his country.
Thank you!

6- When did you start as a professional artist, musician?
.A very difficult question to answer. I would say that I have been very lucky because of my career with so many changes. But my main axis has been to compose.
