First steps in bertsolarism
- Lehen plaza
- Senperen, Herri Urrats batean. Jon Lopategik bidali zuen, Bizkaitik bertsolari gazte bat behar zutelako. Bertsokide Jon Martin, Miren Artetxe eta Erika Lagoma izan zituen. Anekdota polit bat bada egun horretakoa: Ernest Alkatek, bere aurkezpena egin zuenean, Xabier Paya esan beharrean, Xabier "Paella" esan zuen!
