ARGIA veterans have passed me information. 30 years after the birth of the Txisteka-Misteka cassettes. “Txisteka-Misteka… 30 years… Jokes engraved on casetas with laughter effects… Again, I've had some obsolescence," I thought. But then I started asking him around me, and I realized that our generation has also laughed a lot with the jokes and word games of Kike Amonarriz and Joxe Ramon Galarraga.

That publication was a small revolution in the Basque world. They showed that it was possible to tell jokes in Basque and laugh. In 1986, the first two cassettes were published with the IZ record and, after success, the third cassette was published in 1987 and the fourth in 1989 with the collaboration of Gillerto Segurola. The aim was for the money raised to go to the ARGIA weekly.

Some EUTG students began to fill around 1980 pages of the weekly Susa with the name of Titiriteroak, including Tere Irastortza, Iñaki Uria or Kike Amonarriz himself. A game of humor, satirical... And Amonarriz set out to pass the jokes on to paper a day I didn't really know what to write, and then it all started. The reader liked it and followed that path.

Then came the jokes, and in one of them were Kike Amonarriz and Joxe Ramon Galarraga, both with jokes of jokes. The live jokes that occurred to them after having shared dinners and festivals with other peers, were passed on to the recording. They took the scene of Amasa's association and prepared the first recording with jokes and laughter that was thrown around a dinner.

At the moment, Oiartzun Irratia has made the four cassettes available to users in order to listen to them or download them online. I've heard someone who serves to step back in history, and to some extent it is; kinds of jokes, tone ... It reminds me of the rapid response, the mood, the game of words of the small peoples, and I believe that what for some is outdated is a treasure.
