Basque culture is unique, we invite you to see and enjoy each of the traditions of the Basque Country. Guess what could be its 5 pillars?
1.-Bertsos: We start with the bertsos, many compare it with a current fashion, rap, but if we know well the bertsolatitza (the art of bertsos), we will see that it has many variations with respect to rap. This “art” is previous to any word written in Basque, and a great linguistic ability is needed to become a professional in the matter.
Here is the link to the wikipedia: Versolarism
Dance: Basque dance occupies a large part of the Basque culture, there are many types of dance, at present there are multiple Basque dance groups, which exhibit to the world part of our traditions.
3.-Basque rural sports: An important section of the culture is the Basque sport, better known as herri kirola in Basque. There are many sports that are included here, one of the most popular is the Basque pelota.
If you are curious about it we leave you this video made by Euskadi turismo:
The theater: As in any culture, the theater was a section to be taken into account, there are many types of theater that were created, today many are still reproduced, although on a very small scale.
Language: All of the above would not be possible without taking into account our language, Euskera.
All these sections are unique in the world and every day they can be appreciated less and less, so we recommend that if you have the chance to see any of them live, do not hesitate and do it!
