Sociolinguists, gurus, all our experts, who constantly tell us that the Basque country has great cultural references, massive cultural products, are blind to the fundamental movement that saves the Basque country. We are at the height of the Basque culture, and we do not see the tempest that guarantees the survival of the Basque country. Bascules and autoventrums are doctrinally divided, but in reality Basque intelligence is in limbo. Because there's a ghost in Euskal Herria. Here and now, really cool, because Euskera has become indispensable on the road to being a true hipster.
Since Rockdelux magazine venerated the last albums of Anari and Lisabö, the Basque Country has become central to no Indians of lies. Mursego honors in Basque to Za! French monolinguals can enjoy the Experience, but Willis Drummond is a stranger to them. You can be a fan of Giorgio Bassmatti because Castilian is bilingual, but to become a fansa you have to know Basque. Only then will you understand, for example, your Kafe eta Galletak album. You will also hear Euskera in the Kafe eta Galletak project that names the album – and there are those who are learning Euskera with its sting. But coolity is something that spreads across all layers. In festive music, for example, we have 3N2 and its post-verbenas.
As for the literature, you will be condemned to always read the novels of Harkaitz Cano with a year of delay if you do not know Euskera. After the independent publishers of yesteryear have sold their soul, the publisher Susa has become the last bastion of editorial moloity.
In the movies you can lose a lot if you don't know Basque. The shorts of Koldo Almandoz, the assembly and post-assembly of Angel Aldarondo. With Spanish you can see The Basque ball but without the Basque pierdes Ondarruko. Also Ataun of the Dead.
In the written press the daily columns of Idurre Eskisabel and Xabier Gantzarain, the strips of Zaldieroa, the maratila of Xabier Etxaniz Rojo, the post-columns of Angel Erro. On TV moloímetro a tope with the post-jokes of Orain (R.I.P), Beranegi and Gorka Bereziartua. Hala Bedi and Ttanttakun Irratia radio. Twitter Tweet and Traols de @joxe, Trinkotzainak, retweets de @txargain, the war against the PDF of @luistxo.
Nor is politics on the sidelines. It is known that with Spanish together you will be able to follow very well the main mandates of the Abertzale left, but if you want to place yourself as a creator in a transparent avant, the Basque will be necessary to read the books of Imanol Galfarsoro. But if you're jeltzale, you'll have to laugh at Azkuna's thanks as Spanish, but, my friend, you won't be able to read Josu Jon's doctoral thesis on polymers.
There are more losses: The prepositional Basque of Erramun Gerrikagoitia, the afera Iruña Veleia, the cosmic theories of Urtzi Ihitza, the Frikaris and Africans of Xabier Azkargorta. How to be an authentic lost modernity? It's impossible. You can bring Ray-ban Wayfarer, the last Single from The XX in the Ipode, a checked shirt, Lomography in the photo camera, but if you don't live in Euskera, you will all be in vain to reach the top of the coolity. Now and here the difference is the Basque. Euskaltegis and barnetegis will soon begin to fill up. The world will look at you in awe, Euskal Herria will say aloud: Euscool Basque Country.

I had a friend who worked at Porcelana Irabia until they closed, and every time we went to a restaurant or a bar he looked at the mug and the ass of the dish to find out where the piece was made. I do the same thing when I go to the fairs of old things: I look where it is made,... [+]
Azken boladan gero eta gehiago entzuten dugu gazte askok etxebizitza erosteko ahalmenik ez dugula. Batzuetan, badirudi ez dagoela beste gairik; egia da gai serioa dela. Niri neuri ere, 31 gertu izan arren, oraindik pixka bat falta zait neurea izango den etxebizitza lortzeko... [+]

There are concepts that appear everywhere during certain periods, which also become mantras. They appear to us in a positive and necessary way, without too much debate and without thinking about them. It seems to me that one of these mantras is internationalization, which has... [+]
