Over the past week, musical artists from both the Basque Country and internationally gathered in the streets of Tolosa for the sixth edition of the Tolofolk festival. This initiative, organized by the Jeajeaka Cultural Association with the aim of promoting popular culture, has achieved great success this year, as stated by Manex Urruzola, a member of the association.
“"All performances have been well-attended, and we are also happy with the relationship we have built with the artists. We have had very kind people and have established a very close relationship with them. In addition to the performances, we have tried to be by their side, whether eating lunch or dinner, and I believe they have left Tolosa very happy."
A total of six performances were offered, three of them in Berdura Plaza, and the rest in the Fronton taberna, Plaza Berria, and throughout the streets. Urruzola highlighted that this year's edition has been particularly diverse, featuring performances of very different styles, some very electronic, but all of a high technical level. This has enriched the festival, for the enjoyment of the public.
The organizers have expressed their gratitude to the extensive network of collaborators and sponsors, emphasizing the involvement of the town. In addition to those who handled photography, video, and seat setup, the Andia house has made t-shirts for the festival. Urruzola particularly thanked the support of the Lizardi, Txinparta, and Batasuna associations, stressing that they are essential components for projecting a good and welcoming image of Tolosa.
