Transmission of Basque Culture
1 We've
braided a long string centimeter to centimeter, so that old
rags and new telones go out
in the sun.
What is the Basque? What is culture?
What do we have to convey?
We
have already posted a number
of questions, is that not the first condition for
finding answers?
2 What
do we have about Basque? Two
syllables with differentiated connotations.
So who is Basque?
He who speaks Basque.
Is a language a history and
what is the Basque language?
It is not the daughter of the past who has
survived to this day, it is
the result
of having come here from the past.

What is culture?
A full-page newspaper.
What about culture? Origin of our
artí creations sticas.Hemos
traveled a long way and to
that it must be recognized;
from Arantzazu to
Urbia we
have
come, but we still see quite far to Aizkorri.
4 What
do the Basques have to convey to their descendants?
It was collected
beforehand: language and culture.
This trend is
the reopening of persecution,
that is, a small people open to the
world.
So what are the fragile
ice or the water that moves?
5 This
word(s) of Sarasua is brought to
the wind, the rope
is no longer as
flexible as at first.
Have we hung up on
theory and practice?If we
are the reflection
of the current Basque Culture, you
are curious, you are young and you
have a female voice.

The body could be the moving
body of
a
dancer who regularly participates in Euskera at all parties.
Whether in Ziburu, Oyón, Ituren,
Barakaldo or Lasarte, to ignite
the fire you do not need to go
to Zugarramurdi, since the
akelarre can start in the
plaza of its people.
7 He
has an actor’s face,
he
doesn’t look like anyone, he speaks in Basque to strangers, but if they don’t understand him he
says he greets him, he makes
a smile
without representation; it is
synonymous with “ongi
etorri” and he doesn’t need translation.
8 Now that we
want to move from culture to the people, we will gather around the rope once a
month reflecting, we would like to write
our ideas in the fabrics, then blow, sew, fold, or hang… unless they
are not held in
the
corners of the drawers.

In February 2023, I read the news in the press and I was depressed because it surprised me and gave me what to think. The store of Jostaldi Kirolak Erdikale Street in Azpeitia will be closed to the public after 48 years of running.
