Cat hills and peripheries of Ibarra
It's Friday night, February 3, and in the House of Muino three or four nervous cats are preparing the last moment: some cleaners, others warm their voices, some in the kitchen. At 20:30 the guests, the Ibarra Perfumes and the listeners arrive by dripping, and on the back of the table they sit in the stove (the thermal T-shirts are finally left) for dinner. 
After dinner, in a joyful atmosphere, presenter Irati Lotina stands by the microphone and announces that it is time to hear writings before the session begins. As one said, the person cannot leave prison, but the voice does not stop at the bars and walls and the members of the Bertso Eskola de Zaballa have heard voices singing two lots of the hill house. They have sung to freedom, to the word, to the verse, to the force, to the enemy and to the prison, but, above all, to the joy of life, to the muzigogo cannot be suspended as punishment.
The two original components of the Ibarra Periferiak group, Ane Arexolaleiba and Iraide Oinandia, and two alternates, Paula Amilburu and Martin Abarrategi (replacing Xabi Igoa and Aitor Ugarte), and Xabier Elaniego and Iñaki Zalego, from Katu. 
The program has been eclectic: modern (farewell of the Ibarra Perfie in memory of the song of Shakira and BZR) and classic, accompanied by trikitixa and pandero.
The issue of the police that infiltrates gaztetxe is what has sung in the greater zortziko, not being able to expel from the assembly a national who works better than anyone else in the works.
The wood that Viñaspre has collected is excellent in the answers of points, as the young Ane Arexolaleiba was not willing to leave her as a small. Ana laughs first of the age of Viñaspre and this, as a response, says to him: “You will reach high with that height” and Arexolaleiba replies: “You have come down with that comment.” Laughter has also been heard in Abetxuko.
In the exercise of the camera, three friends meet by points in a postmodern therapy, one because he speaks too much, another because he does not speak and the third because he only speaks to his imaginary friend. It has not healed, but the bertsolaris have sung finely on paper.
The latest greetings and the Cat Hills have been the winners. This chronicle had to end by saying that the verses have been good and that the wine has been better, but the truth is that the cheese wine is bad and a good patxaran, and that the intimate atmosphere of friends is even better.
Bertsolaris (Mendialdea) and Beeeertsolariak (Lautada), a nice Santa Águeda Eve in Agurain
On Saturday, 4 February, in the Astorreka association of Salvatierra, the bertsolaris Bersolariak and Beeeertsolariak acted. The bertsolaris group included Eli Plazaola, Alberto Txasko, Miren Beitia, Txiki Antia, Xabi Lasa and Itsaso Balza de Vallejo and Beeeetsolariak Aitor Najera, Markel Yoller, Iker Pastor, Beñat Canoeta. 
At noon we gathered 32 people and after lunch other people joined to enjoy the bertsos session. After enjoying a good meal, we sang among all the groups of bertsos prepared by the friends of the two bertsolaris schools before the session began. To start the punctual session was the greeting. The two teams joined each other in a very nice atmosphere. Happy, applause for everyone.
Then the coach Oier Suarez put the two teams to work. We first heard the TAV workers, after having found some clues, discussions were held on the suspension or continuation of work. The bertsolaris had the opportunity to work on different issues: if the couple became open or married, the civil guard also appeared..., the day of Santa Águeda and the loaves, etc. In the work of the camera they also got into the machine the time, Africa, the Caribbean -- they made some very nice trips, but then they returned to Astorreka. Of course! Where better if not? 
Aintzira Gorosabel helped the bertsolaris with his guitar in their latest works. Some learned a turnaround in front of the apartment and others had the opportunity to laugh at the roommates, in front of a toilet and put all in nahiean.Nahikoa.
Finally, while singing greetings, judges Fernando Sopelana, Egoitz Iradier and Lorea Elorriaga decided: Beeeeertsolariak irabazle! !
The group “Izena Pentau bida” in the Derbi of Aramaio, on the eve of Santa Águeda
The eve of Santa Águeda in Aramaio has been played the meeting between two local teams. It has been a special day in the town, as the members of the bertsolaris school have worked throughout the day, along with several members of the trikitixa school and the choirs, in the neighborhoods and streets of the town.
The new verses have given continuity to the old custom in the corner of the Hunter. To begin with, the students of the Bertso Eskola of Aramaio have sung a selection of bertsos made by 45 people. Subsequently, the elimination of the Bertsolaris Championship of the Group of Álava began. As a group of the house, as a group “Name Pentsau bida” and as an external group “No treatment”. 
The program has been filled with humor since the initial greetings. The group of the house has accompanied the txistu and brought the usual melodies in the petition of Santa Ageda. However, the No Treatment group has started the session with a version of the Etxepe group.
Martin Abarrategui and Andere Arriolabengoa have acted in the largest zortziko since the role of two teenagers, referring to real situations, Abarretegi has quickly brought the names and cases of his brothers to the plaza. Then, two young people from the bertsolaris school, Sabin Abarrategui and Gari Arexolaleiba, worked in zortziko txikia. They've both been from humor, from the role of the personal trainer and the one who hired him, and the public has made a lot of laughter.
The two bertsolaris that later worked on the headdress of the end of Álava have sung at the four feet, as they said below, did not perform this exercise since the school age. However, doubts have arisen among the public as to whether Agirre has ever sung in the kindergarten because of his current age, many say that when he was young he did not exist.
The last point has been sung by Paula Amilburu and Manex Agirre, and there have also been doubts about the same subject. At the response points, the youngest of the session (Txomin Abarrategi) and Danel Herrart, both applauded. 
The two teams have shown that they don't have much blue blood in jail. Lierni Altuna will match the princes and princesses of the house team in a role of prince and princess who plans to strike.
Finally, the two teams have acted in coffers accompanied by the Iraide Onaindia panderet and the trikitilari June Ballesteros. Martin, Danel and Manex have been 3 young people who have seen a horror film, while Andere, Paula and Txomin have acted from the role of players of the same football team, three players always in a chair.
Finally, the “Izena Pentsau bida” group has won the program, so it has many possibilities to classify it for semi-finals. The group that will move forward will be decided on 10 February with the last session of the phase.
Wood and chips and Gorbeia
On Sunday, February 5, the second League B game was played in Narbaiza society. The Lautadako Egurrak eta Maltzalak group was pleased to welcome the Gorbeialdea group and prepare a delicious meal to then start the bertsos. Attendees discovered a delicious sea and mountain paella. 
After filling the belly, they began with verses written in Narbaiza. From the Bertsolaris School of Zaballa it was possible to listen and sing, in audiovisual format, two frightening songs, and making a nod to the written bertsos, Laia and Ane from the Bertsolaris School of Agurain sang their verses live with the help of guitar and drawer, translating the holy eskea into humor.
The Bapat program gave continuity to the written bertsos and in greetings Matallica and traditional melodies, metal and wood, were mixed with their cantil. There were no injuries, calm. Ricardo and Oihane mayor and Irati and Serapio participated in the small. Then we had Uxue and Aitor strangling their brains. Half a session had already passed and it was not yet clear who I was for. The two Unai faced the points, in a beautiful, elegant style against the insolence and freshness of Perea, the certainty and experience of Anda. In the dotted program, Oier, Unai and Oihane had the opportunity to listen to their mother and child as a family. The gorbea is also very thin here. In Koplata's program, the youngest bertsolari, Oier, showed attendees his slice, surprising both. But the balance could still be for who it didn't look like. 
Neutral judge Patxi Aizpurua arrived with the sentence and...attention! Draw! The first draw in the history of the Crew! In the small Copla, Rikardo, Manu, Oihane and Irati alternated five minutes of pound per group. Here too hot, intense and elegant rhythm. And because the scale has to support someone, after all that excitement, Gorbeia's visitors took the program home.
