First line of the tribe
- “We’re excited. It is the 25th anniversary and this prize is of particular importance to us.” Kike Amonarriz has described very well the atmosphere created at this year’s Argia Awards. It was looked back, but with all the promptness necessary to move forward.
The Atxega Palace was once again a meeting point for cultural agents and Basque communication on the last Friday of January.
Olatz Korta, member of Argia, sang the song prepared for this edition, with the help of Aitor Furundarena: ...Looking to the future / adapting to the new time / little by little we go ahead / we have the opportunity... That is what the letter of Korta says. Whoever wants to hear the song will find it on the web.

Eider Olazar Elduaien, for his part, collected the award from the radio section thanking the “hundred collaborators” of the Kalegorri program from Info7.
Kike Amonarriz and the entire ETB1 team won the ETB1 TV show Tribuaren Berbak (Tribuaren Berbak). The host was excited about both the prize and what she found at the time of the program: “The more we know the tribe, the more proud we are of the tribe.”
