This month, we have the pleasure of interviewing the Valladolid-based group Celtas Cortos, one of the most important and iconic bands on the national scene over the last two decades. The ensemble led by Jesús Cifuentes presents “40 de Abril,” their sixteenth album—a carefully crafted work composed of twelve original tracks, fusing Celtic sounds with rock rhythms.

In previous installments, we discussed ergot, a fungus that parasitizes certain cereals and enabled the discovery of LSD and the synthesis of highly useful drugs (see Spannabis Magazine No. 51 and No. 52). Now, we will focus on botanical, medical, and pharmacological aspects, exploring how this fungus has played a starring role in various historical moments.
