Almiz
I have an old friend, son of the accordionist, who has nothing to do with Bernardo Atxaga's ideas, and a habit that makes me very fond: he speaks to the wine he likes. “Who is there?” he asks the wine before giving a drink, because although he does not see it, he perceives that there is something alive and seasonal inside the cup he has in his hands.
Something similar happened to me when I hear from Almitza Sega Elkartea. There they are, without making much noise, but always working, spreading the aroma of our people through the old Europe.
Nineteen years ago they began to claim here the existence of a people and that some of its inhabitants know how to shake the scythes to our limits. After working in eleven meadows, in Finland, Switzerland, Germany, South Tyrol, Slovenia, Catalonia, Occitania, etc., you know who we are, what our culture says and what the level of our entourage is.
What strikes me the most is the methodology, the way things are done. I am not going to start now judging what the right path is and what the wrong path to achieving our objectives. The big ones are already too many, but I like the activity of these from Almitza. Little noise and a lot of black work. Go, see, analyze, talk, agree, bring, teach, yield, respect, accept, sing, dream, ask and get. They are verbs that in our country we are not able to put in order often. The ones we often accumulate over each other. Basic verbs that we have transformed into enraged, fractionated, desperate, frightened, cooked, etc.
And here's an ambush, there's another one, the consequences we have in front of us. From 28 to 30 August, in the prairie formerly the Munategi farmhouse, at the back of the Loiola Shrine in Azpeitia, the European Sega Championship is disputed. And we will be one more people in the field of languages, we will show up with our hymn in the poppy, our colors in the heart, sharpened by our way of doing. And then we can feel freer, without the politicians' speech, without the orders that send us from above. Kontxo, how well the verbs “gara” and “dugu” are used in these cases!
Guadalajara and her friends, women and men for being the winners in the competition, without realizing that the people who are able to organize an event of this kind are free in themselves, without having to listen to what others say.
The syrup is a free and slightly ugly herb that grows in an unfertilized area. At the end of August we have another quote about who we are and what we want to be at the Loiola Shrine. Keep sharpening the scythes.

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... [+]
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... [+]
