Amazing young people

  • Under the slogan Bertsolarri, the youngest 7Gato organized a night of terror to give a terrifying welcome to the final of the Bertso Ronda tournament. Death-related costumes, chandeliers on the walls, mysterious sounds... nine young finalists found this panorama just up on stage. Less badly, they also came in disguise.

Apparently, the public was not scared, as gaztetxe was filled with necks to listen to the bertsolaris. The vast majority of listeners were young, and several dialects circulated in the air (woe, on Thursdays of the students! ). That Basque is not heard in Bilbao? The one who says it was not among the audience of the Bertso Errondako.

And what to say about the program was a tribute to imagination and freshness, fleeing the rigidity of the most serious competitions. Nine young bertsolaris (ten were classified, but Ane Peñagarikano failed), always ready to deceive those next door, with the intention of breaking the limits of the bertso and having a good time. The three hours passed by.

END OF THE
BERTSOS ROUND When: 28 February
Where: At the gaztetxe 7Katu of Bilbao

To begin with, the two friends interpreted greetings in duos, using the melodies of the most well-known songs, in a more performatic style than the bertso. Then, by pairs, they started the eliminators. Each couple was promised strange exercises and the pit failed. Forbidden words, endless rhythms, the need to sing with someone who spoke in the ear -- they were forced to overcome all kinds of impediments.

Then they dealt with trades, without giving up the air of mockery or humor. However, in the game of who is who, listeners became protagonists, the shame of more than one. On that night of panic, the resurrected dead could not be missed, and the judges gave another opportunity to Iraitz Mateo and Ander Anakababe, who were rescued by the judges. The latter had also come to the "face to face". Anakabe became the idol of the public, especially when he failed to play Chanquete on the coplas.

Hand-in-hand, Unai Mendiburu and Ander Anakabe sang sitting in the bathroom. The atmosphere was more for laughter and laughter than for berts. But Mendiburu put the pressure right. He earned the final of Bertso Errondako. In all the exercises he was comfortable, sharp, and he recited more rounded verses than the others. However, we must also remember the work of the other finalists: Paule Loizaga, Urko Arrangi, Aissa Intxausti, Kerman Diaz, Asier Alcedo, IRAITZ Mateo, Ander Ucelay and Ander Anakabe.

The night of the terror of the Gaztetxe 7Katu brought us a pleasant surprise: young bertsolaris creating in Basque and the young audience enjoying in Basque. The costumes and decor were terrible, yes, but the young people's work, how terrible!
