This Saturday afternoon, the final of the Bertsolaris Championship in Álava was played in the sports club of LEGUTIO. On the stage, micro red and blue rub each other. In the song they will sing:

Iñaki Viñaspre Simon (Abetxuku) and Unai Anda Delika (Ametzaga)

MARTIN Abarrategi Sarrionandia (Aramaio) and Manex Agirre Arriolabengoa (Aramaio)

Manuel Bendala García-Donas (Sevilla–Vitoria) and Oihane Perea Perez de Mendiola (Zalduondo) will be in charge of broadcasting the match.

The three bertsolaris pairs have completed the qualifying exercises by Nieves Del Álamo and Eli Plazaola, so Manex Agirre Arriolabengoa and Martin Abarrategi Sarrionandia have proclaimed champions by Álava couples in 2021.

The jury of the final was composed of 5 judges: Aitor Jiménez, Ekaitz Elorriaga, Iker Elexpuru, Fernando Sopelana and Mikel Fernández de Arroiabe. He served as Secretary Endika Jiménez. The three couples of bertsolaris were scored as follows:

Manex Agirre Arriolabengoa and Martín Abarrategi, 828 points

Iñaki Viñaspre Simon and Unai Anda Delika, 820 points

Oihane Perea Perez de Mendiola and Manu Bendala Garcia-Donas, 816 points

In high times, the champions have clothed each other the txapela. They have broadcast to viewers their work and emotions in common:

By couples, by couples, by couples, with the partner, with the partner, with the friend, with the partner.

Binomial, harmony, balance, respect and cooperation.

Because two plus two can be more than four. Get the best doubles and wager, drunk!

We would like to thank the bertsolaris, the authors of the themes and the referees who have participated in the championship, as well as the fans and fans who have accompanied us throughout the championship, the bertso-eskolas, the municipalities that have participated, the sponsors, the collaborators and the media…

Here are the photos and scores obtained by each bertsolari in the different exercises.

In Bertsoa.eus the session selection will be displayed.
