At 83, Beskoitz's well-known storyteller dies. Urutz Robles-Arangiz is a writer born in the realm of Basque culture as a singer, playwright and dancer. As for the theatre, among other works, Sorginak taldea in Etxaburu de Beskoiztarrak, Matalas de Piarres Larzabal and Xuri-Gorriak de Daniel Landart. Robles-Arangiz is also a former member of the Basque Dramaturges Congress since its inception.

In the field of the song, in the late 1950s, the Soroak painting was created, among the four brothers and Txabi Villaverde. His four sisters formed the Ainara quartet and among the eight formed a choir. Since its dissolution, the hearings of the Soroak Group have been rare, the latest on the occasion of the tribute to Mixel Labegueri in Kanbo on 15 October 2000.
