Belaxe

WHO?The bertsolari, is a person who sings bertsos improvising, following some patterns, measures and rhymes. It´s like a sung conversation. In dinners, festivals, out in the street, individually, in pairs or in groups and full of good humour in most cases; our purpose is to enjoy the audience, make them laugh, however we also use both sad and politic themes to touch the public.----------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------WHERE?The Basque Country is a state under the french and spanish governments. Besides, within spain, it is divided into two parts: Euskadi & Navarra (Navarre). The capital, Pamplona, is in Navarre. Its known all over the world because of the Sanfermines, encierros bulls, sprees... don´t you know it? The city of the party and good time!!! And I´m from there. Our language is the Basque, the European oldest language, and we live in Basque.----------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------IMPROVI SATION:It´s worldwide phenomenon, in Cuba, Sardinia, Canary Islands, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Sahara, Afghanistan, Turkey, Italy and so on. In our country, improvisation is very healthy, we have competitions, and the final for instance, gathered 12000 people. In very day live, we sing in both small and big places, both before 10 people and before 300.-------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ INFORMATION:For futher information you can check the website of our association: www.bertsozale.com , or Jexus Mari Irazu´s website: www.bertsoa.com , where you can listen to some bertsos and watch some videos.
