Agur Jose Inazio
I read and appreciated all the articles published on these pages of ARGIA magazine, and from these pages I would like to send you the words of thanks. In the marginal areas of the cultural system, which are often undervalued, you have distinguished yourself in the promotion and organisation of culture, and I would like to underline and thank you for your generous contribution to Basque culture with these words of farewell.
As soon as we heard the first notes of your whistle, the dancers pulled our chest and we climbed ten centimeters; we got up and we went out to the dance. You touch hard, shiny, and you push us to dance the same way. I lived in the clocks, extending the notes in the race completely back and patiently waiting for the legs of the cabrons to fall; I put music at the service of dance, to the dancers who opened the way to give us the best of us; I accompanied us with the tamboril in the difficult times and I sparked the whistle in the weird passages of the dancers.
I have never met a professional who works with the will and power of perfection that you have demonstrated
You were engaged in economic management by profession, and that is that you applied the same precision in the organization of dance. We were surprised to use innovative forms of business management in the organization of dance, music and culture. We dedicate resources, pampering and similar attentions to the great football players, especially the dancers, and the body builders in general. Every time discrimination between professionals and amateurs takes place, I agree with you Jose Inazio. I have never met a professional who works with the will and power of perfection that you have demonstrated. Whatever land you've gotten into, no, it was the only way you had to know how to do things.
With the confidence and support that inspired you, you brought a whole generation of dancers and txistularis to the highest level. You were pioneering and courageous, and you made us proud of our flow and helped us to be ambitious with music and dance as simple instruments. Excited by your labor discipline, generosity and unmeasured attention, some of us owe that your vital trajectory has joined the world of dance and music. You made us believe that dance, besides being a joyful fun, is an important expression of Basque culture, and you taught us to fill it with the utmost dignity and responsibility to represent our culture. Agur Jose Inazio, agur. A greeting and an honor.

Ez zuen egoki jokatu, neurriak hartu behar ziren, bestela, ez dugu ikasten. Itxuraz, ez zen ohartzen egindakoaren inpaktuaz, normal jarraitzen zuen, batzuetan, ingurukoek baino itxura zoriontsuagoz. Gainera, altuegi hitz egiten du, hori ez zaio inori gustatzen. Darabiltzan... [+]

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.

This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]
The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]
