The Bertsolaris
I want to introduce a cultural activity from the Basque Country. It will be short.
The Bertsolaris are people that very quickly makes his mind to conceive a kind of poem with the only purpouse of having a good time by pulling the leg to each other.
It has some resemblance to rap.
Even if the purpouse is as simple as that, the way to achieve it is really difficult. There are technical challengues such as finding the appropriate words to fill the gaps dictated by a given metrics and finishing each sentence so that they rime. On top of that, the masters are able to incorporate a meaning that is unexpected and highly funny.
Aitor.

The Bertsolaris are people that improvises a kind of poem with the sole purpose of having a good time by (pulling the leg to each other) <-- (Not sure what you are trying to say here).
It has some resemblance to rap.
Although the purpose is that simple, achieving it is really difficult. There are technical challenges, such as finding the appropriate words to fill the gaps dictated by a given metrics and finishing each sentence so that it rhymes. On top of that, the masters are able to incorporate a meaning that is unexpected and very funny.
