Euphonia of the Basque songs
In the scores of the Basque songs, both of the people and of the authors, the texts are often incorrect. They have many defects that impede the work of solo singers or corals. In addition, there is another confusion: the pronunciation of written words.
The beauty of the sonority of songs is in the musical, as it is, but also in the cutting of words. In Spanish, anyone can understand that singing 16th-century Madriwales with Yeism harms interpretation. Even the monkeys working in opera learn to speak multiple languages to effectively communicate the emotion of the most exciting arias.
In our country, Hator, when it comes to singing, how do we sing, give or do we do? Will you see, see or see? How to pronounce, yatear or eat? Your mother also with joy or joy? Many with the joy of my mother, without any pleasure for me.
Sometimes the origin of the salsa is in the diffusion of the same song. The song of a small environment, in this case the Duranguesado, has spread throughout the Basque Country. They have already happened before and Andre Madalen has been sung with a ballurta or Agur Xiberua with Gipuzkoan, a sign of success. But maintaining consistency throughout the song, not in the current disorder.
In a rural setting, there is nothing to ask for. In high-level concerts, however, taking into account the colour of the voice, the enjoyment of shades, the phrasing, the good pronunciation of various languages, we should ask that in Basque also the minimum level be maintained in order to be able to acquire the artistic essence of the songs with force.
Musikene should prepare a good job and teach singing students or choir directors, otherwise no one will. Musikene is the upper music center of the Basque Country. I usually work with the students and I can say that it has become a bunch of high-quality young musicians. Singers or performers, directors or composers, musicians of the size of the classic, jazz, contemporary or rock, are the ones who are bringing new musicians out of there. Many Basques. However, I have detected the shortcoming of this on more than one occasion and I would be grateful if the procedure could be initiated.
So, Pablo Sorozábal, for example, would not get angry at his grave when he heard Gabiltza in a mood (not in the good).

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.

This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]
In recent years, the concept of industrial policy has reappeared strongly at various levels. The organization that was the hammer of neoliberalism, the International Monetary Fund, today insists that markets have been pressured to allocate resources efficiently and solve these... [+]
The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]
Zalantza asko izan ditut, meloia ireki ala ez. Ausartuko naiz, zer demontre! Aspaldian buruan dudan gogoeta jarri nahi dut mahai gainean: ez da justua erditu den emakumearen eta beste gurasoaren baimen-iraupena bera izatea. Hobeto esanda, baimen-denbora bera izanda ere, ez... [+]
We are in the midst of a world imperialist offensive led by the Western bourgeoisie. The form that the imperialist offensive has taken is that of war, with all its variants: economic war, cognitive and cultural war, lawfarr; and, of course, military war. Western imperialism has... [+]
I just saw a series from another sad detective. All the plots take place on a remote island in Scotland. You know how these fictions work: many dead, ordinary people but not so many, and the dark green landscape. This time it reminded me of a trip I made to the Scottish... [+]
To be honest, I don't know why I'm writing this. In today’s hostile environment, opinions of this kind are not well received. Perhaps LUZ will not publish this because it does not correspond to the opinions they have published so far (but if they have finally decided to publish... [+]

We Basques move our feet behind the witness of Korrika to proclaim that we want to survive as a Basque people in favor of our language, with the aim of the Basque Country we desire.

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.
The strike model that I was taught is no longer in vogue, it seems. In my... [+]
Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]
