He got up from a jump bed, like he was in a movie on a flower. He left the room, went to the kitchen, gave his mother a big kiss and shower, singing Deus ex machina as a soundtrack. Listen in the letter to the northern lights, but really recently to the fable of the letter. The melody has its roots, and the colabo between Belako and Anari, of course. I mean, that flow. The noise of beer mugs... Fantasy.

He had not felt such agitation in his body for a long time. Fourth day in Durango, the last of the fair, and the relationship with Amets, or not. Let us hope it is the beginning of many others. But a lot is expected.

And would sign / come the hardest / come the hardest... It's been jumped by Errim on Youtube.

Today, yes. Today, she tells her mother she's going to Durango because she's made a friend there, who shares her musical and literary hobbies ... And so how is your mother going to tell you not to such friendships? Also with that Iraitz played. I also had to share with someone the joy of yesterday's beautiful day, because if not, he would have been killed inside.

He came out of the shower and noticed his mother murmur in the living room. A little light on, with sequins nearby, the newspaper in the mouth and the radio on, in an atmosphere of Anglo-Saxon song, supposedly super-joyful. He who does not do anything with his mind.

"What, mom?" ", Iraitz asked him as he approached the living room. "16 years and seven days ago," the same notes. That Mikel Laboa died, that is to say – later Iraitz heard about whom the mother was referring: Mikel Laboa– Among other things, comrade says, says and says, how little things have changed on the occasion of the celebration of Euskera Day. "We don't learn." It says that we make bizkarsoro [who? “I didn’t know my mother was responsible for ETB,” but at the same time we competed with in-house, putting Tasio on ETB2. Ah, and because it was a Spanish-made film, it looks like it was a controversy. "The things of the time," asked Iraitz, when asked about her. But, aloud, it hasn't gone beyond saying, "Yeah, you're right." My mother says, finally: “If the singer of Sekulabara raised his head…”.

-Well ... Am I going to the train?

"Yes, my love, it's still fine. Have fun. And don't leave late, tomorrow you have to go to school...

- Yes, no.

Kiss and goodbye.

The headset was placed before reaching the lobby. From 10:30 a.m., when you arrive at Durango Station, AMETS awaits you there. It is your last day together in the fantasy of the Durango Fair. Well, as your mother said, tomorrow to school. And the school leaves no room for fantasy.

But DA, it's a fantasy, I would say someone [the motto of the last edition, for those who don't listen to chorus word games]. The atmosphere of the fair is, to be honest, a fanciful one. A fantasy that becomes every real year. And to the same extent, for the second year in a row, BaDAbil is actually reproducing this fantasy! podcast. It is a pity, according to Iraitz, that the topics discussed in it have no other importance in the informal conversations of their friends, or in the family sphere. Beyond which book you have purchased, that is, there will be no more profound debates than co-educational intentions. And, in the end, they would also be content to go to Leroy Merlin, where enthusiastic collectors have very cheap “works of art” and “artistic works” – that is, copies – next to the feather cushions.

Enpin. Download it to reality. This is what Iraitz has done regardless of his thoughts. And the reality is that the Hiru Damatxo producers cannot sit still in the preparation of BaDAbil live machinery! They've given it an hour's time and they want to assemble and disassemble, actually, quieter. “Some have always suffocated,” Dreaming very low told him, and his mother has felt for a while in the form of a murmur. The curious thing is that in Durango it suffocates because in the desert normally the culture and the body builders meet each year in a quiet and multitudinous fantasy of the fair, because people build an oasis there, because people want it, maybe because that's what Christmas demands, e... but those who have fallen into the same parachutist form, who have gone to do their usual work, don't overpower it, no.

This is the daily bread of those who have a dedication to it. Beñat Sarasola BaDAbil highlighted this! around the podcast table, although he has another job to live. It has had the participation of Amancay Gaztañaga and Idoia Asurmendi as rapporteurs and have shown its agreement. "Living alone with writing is almost impossible; you can do a thousand jobs to complete it, but it's still very difficult," said Sarasola, in an interview at ETB. The story of an artist [Ruper dixit]. And that has caused a heartache to Iraitz, who has dreamed so much these days, what do you want to be when you grow up? He'd answer that question with a translator, a writer, a cartoonist, a comic book cartoonist -- who has shrunk his heart.

He has also had a fighting sense, because it has been said that we have to know who is the organiser of a concert and that we have to know as a musician, however difficult it may be, to adapt to one or the other. In other words, if such a concert is organised by a public institution, it must be required to have decent conditions. And you can argue a lot about what's worthy and what's not, but that's where diners haven't come in.

That culture is precarious. Putting it as I prefer in Basque, even more so. The organizers of Ahotsenea-Plateruena have made this clear, as before each concert the "guiding thread" was put in place to "welcome": the Basque culture, like the Basque one, is in crisis.

Crying. On the last Sunday of the fair, a super cold, rainy, -so sad, there was nothing short of frustrating any illusion.

However, there is a good sign on this last day of fair. Although so far no sales figures have been given, it appears that much has been sold in this year’s edition. For some, that would be and for the case, for others not... but, in general, that is the feeling that has come to Iraitz. "Television said so yesterday," said Amets, who said so, among other things, his mother, who makes muffins.

At that time, the request of BEÑAT Sarasola has been complied with, or women have bought a lot more than in other years. I recently said in Berria:

Where are they? He thought for himself. Where are the men? And in a desperate gesture he addressed them:

Leave the gyms, it's started begging, you'll start taking out the sit-ins series once a week and reading a couple of pages instead. The second week you can reach five pages if you remove the flexural series.

Leave the marathons. It's wonderful that the last kilometer is done by the hand of your son or daughter, but you don't know it's even more wonderful that they see you with a book in your hand, that they read them with your sweet voice.

-From being mainstream and not in fact have not pronounced much – says Amets, nothing else to leave the market – but I liked the podcast session.

"Yeah, I thought it was interesting, too. That too is important!

-But people's entrances and exits... Pf. I can't stand people going like this. And they've been a lot, eh.

"Yes, sir." Oh, and what I was saying, mainstream! I disagree with what Gorka Urbizu said – Iraitz said, putting his face interesting – that there is no mainstream in Basque music [in this interview].

"Well, I don't either, but -- and Amets has put a more interesting face -- in that interview I did say that sometimes people who are part of the Basque culture act as if we lived in a normalcy, and that's cheating -- it's rested two or three seconds." Well, and I don't know what Basque culture is, so do people, eh. But I don't know. Is it not contradictory to say at the same time that Basque culture is in crisis and then to say that some are mainstream?

"Well, not for me." I don't think so. That mainstream may not be an unknown level, but it can be mainstream.

-Mendigar is mainstream...

It seems to me that, or well, I think I agree with what Amets Aranguren said, who was in charge of running the programme. I mean, being mainstream doesn't depend on auditions, or how many books or records you've sold. It's more a question of attitude.

Mainstream, according to the dictionary, is a global trend. Even before that Anglo-Saxon name was known in society as "what we all like." In these three words there is one subject that has always been difficult to define: to all. We. What is us?

Anyway, there's no question that to like everybody, "getting it right" with everyone is a minimum condition. And for that, it's best not to create noise. Because the one who raises the tumult is provoking someone, touching one of the pillars of society. Otherwise, it wouldn't be noise.

Odei Barroso made these interesting statements in the documentary Fauna is singing in the audiovisual made by Bando on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the digital portal:

If you are always in the interior of an fauna without making noise, you have fun. If you boast, it becomes uncomfortable. And I think an uncomfortable fauna is healthy.

After this interesting colloquium, Iraitz and Amets have entered the space of Ahotsenea-Literaturako, where several interviews have been held. That is, in the condensate plastic bunker and visible where book presentations are made. The crazy people in the Lower Belt are already sick and crazier than usual, there, tomorrow and later, they're doing their job as a space manager. And distributing pamphlets. They've taken the second copy, Omen, and, don't tell Hacienda, they're doing it on the rag while important people, supposedly, present important books, taking advantage of people moving.

Alaia Martin and Udane Ansa have not attracted many people. A dozen people, without the family. More or less, following the tendency to measure culture in figures.

The book Puf, a book of questions, has been published with a very interesting editorial, 1545. All he has is questions, and that's the only thing he's created for Iraitz. The illustrations by Udane Ansa accompany questions by Alaia Martin on philosophical issues, addressed to both young and adults. Some are profound questions, some are more superficial, some are more absurd, but what seems to be a chorus can have other readings.

Alaia Martin rounded the composition by saying that "art and creation work with a resonance."

IRAITZ and AMETS have been touched and flipted.

PHOTO?

Literally, these kinds of meals are a puf. With more than one F, sure. Bajoya. And a while ago, very bad, few people, the last day, tiredness ...

"I intend to go to San Sebastian," Amets interrupts. Learning philosophy. Two years from now. We would be willing.

-I think of Basque philosophy and translation... These are the ones from Vitoria.

-Already...

-Yes...

"Well, we'll see each other here and there. I guess.

-No, we won't see each other. We will not agree, and you know – the phrase has been drier than it seems and has tried to make up. In any case, very punctually and if we try, if we look for it. If we want, I mean.

"Yes, I want." So honestly, I know you don't trust much, but believe me.

I don't want to be under any illusion.

"We'll meet. We will talk by whatsapp and by phone if you want.

"Do you know what happens?" As Alaia Martin said in this performance: what we love the most, we are afraid of.

- ...

I mean, we're scared. And I'm not scared, I'm afraid. I don't want to wait for your messages. I don't want to look like that, Amets.

"I'll write you."

"And if you don't write me, nothing happens. It is not necessary. Don't worry. I would understand. I'll feel good. And I'll be happy because I've lived these days with a lot of excitement, because I've enjoyed them ... I would not like to end badly.

"No, neither did I. It's been a World Cup. Four great days.

-Fantasy. Pure fantasy.
