Twenty years ago, there was an “individual” dance competition (jota and purrusalda) in Elizondo. People mainly came from Gipuzkoa and Bizkaia. Maurizio and Félix were the “txistulari” and drummer for the competitors. They had to play more than sixty pieces. If there was somebody in the square who wanted to dance, then Maurizio did not stop playing.
