Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

President Bertsularien Lagunak, Xumai Murua, and head of Development of the same association, Ortzi Idoate, have presented Xilaba 2020. According to the chronicle of Bertsozale Elkartea, the presentation highlighted that this year more participants, younger and more girls will be represented, and that several bertsolaris will again participate in the Xilaba.

Here you can see all the bertsolaris that will act. Youth is obvious, as the elderly are 38 years old. This year the female representation is the fourth part (seven out of 28), and they are back among the bertsolaris who will be on stage, for example, AMETS Arzallus and Maddi Ane Txoperena, who last sang in Xilaba in 2012. The most experienced in this championship are Maddalen Arzallus and Hodei Barroso, who for the sixth time will participate in the championship.
