A session with your house. How did you feel on the stage?

I live in Hendaia by the border. For me it was nice. I felt the session close. However, I got down, physically it wasn't very good. That led me psychologically to feel pressure. I was afraid not to show my best level. It wasn't personally my most enjoyable session onstage. Breathing in the chamber work I felt better.

They sang Muga. Is it important to address the issue in border villages?

The program was at the border, symbolically important. The issue was essential. I wanted to make bertsolaris fans sit around the table. With Miren Artetxe we touched the subject. The reality I have experienced is the passing of people and the desire to pass. When I heard the greeting from Subai Hill, I thought I also knew the huts of the border. We were stopped and we had to be quiet. These are moments that I have deep inside, until I live almost normally.

Five women, three robbers… Was it a special program?

I knew that with five women, the program was going to be special. The truth is, when we were three robbers, I realized the same day. In addition, all of them from the Bertsos school in Hendaia. I wanted him to have a special programme for me too, so that from a personal point of view he feels at ease. In the verse there are important things collectively, but there are also other goals personally thought out. I was thinking especially about that.

He made the camera staff, the deceased mother. How did you live the moment?

It was clear to me that before I started the first topic, because in San Sebastian I had lost my time choosing one. I came up with my mother's. I doubted it because I don't particularly like talking about personal life or falling into sensationalism. It is not easy to address such a subject. I sang what was inside. Many times we try to bring in ideas that you supposedly won't think about. However, true treasures are in the simplest, in what we have within. I tried to sing cold on a hot theme inside.

“Sing free when you want to silence.” He has also denounced his recent censorship.

I would say that my first premise was to praise the verse rather than a denunciation of something. The days after the bertsos were not good. I have chosen by conscious decision not to confuse, silence and let the wave pass. I knew that someday I would have to say something. I wanted to put my last word to the force and freedom of the verse.

QUESTION OF THE HOUSE:

Regarding your session, what taste have you stayed with?

Good taste to mouth. The aim has been to keep the sitting. I think I have succeeded. I wanted to leave something memorable to people. That is the goal of the verse both in the championship and in the plaza. If I have succeeded, I am happy. I will sing another bertso in the championship. Now I'm not going to play anything. I'm going to enjoy without pressure.
