The bertsolaris of Until the 2nd are Lur Renteria, Maddi Sarasua and Elixabet Etxandi. The Ez Otoi Uste brothers are Miren Artetxe, Maddi Ane and Josu Txoperena.

The peculiarity of Xilaba is that the fighting for teams has become a competition. Bertsolari makes it easier for him to sing next to his friends, that is, the most bearable load he usually carries alone. This feature gives confidence to a bertsolari that acts less on the plaza. In addition to competing for the txapela in bertsos, the bertsolaris receive the fruit of the collaboration between the bertsolaris.

The head of the Bertsularien Lagunak Association – Xumai Murua – said in Izturitz that "Bertsolaris and bertsolaris friends are very much involved in Xilaba as they work together in the pre-on-stage work."

The characteristics of solitary practice are fundamental to being bertsolari. However, group performances create a special relationship and have become essential to encourage young Bertsolaris to sing in front of the public.

They are five of the six bertsolaris who are willing to sing in Izturitz.

The final of Xilaba was organized by the association of bertsolaris Bertsularien Lagunak and the ikastola Arberoa. They will meet around noon and after the snack a meal for 300 people has been organized in the Izturitz Hall of Events. Action will start at 4.30 p.m.
