In the words of gor Martínez “We wanted to proclaim the vitality and strength of the festival on foot with high speeds and rhythms, combining them with traditional sounds. At the same time, we wanted to give due importance to the work that is the driving force of the school. That is why more than 60 people have participated in the recording of the song.” Among the collaborators are students, former students, teachers and parents of the Peace of Ziganda Ikastola. Examples of this are Anne Lukin (former student), Maite Txurruka (former student and teacher), Ainhoa Lizarraga and Andoni Zilalways (former students), members of Backpack 21, Ionan Peñalver (former student), Julen Leuza (former student), Hutsun Chalaparta (former students), Mikel Urrutia and Anai Gambra (former students), Esboda de Zigola Ikastolanda and Ziga de Ziga (former student). And with them, we have also had the support of famous singers from the Basque Country. Such as Eñaut Elorrieta, Pirritx, Failx and Marimotots, Claudia Rodríguez (Goxua'n Salsa), Imanol Viñarás (Raimundo el Canaste) and Oihana Fernández (Afu). As for the rest of the musicians, we have been accompanied by the winds of Goxua'n Salsa, the guitarist Jorge Sánchez and the bassist Xanti Etxeberria.

The video clip has been created along the same lines as the song. It was created and edited by Diego Azanza, a former student of the Paz de Ziganda Ikastola. It is dominated by solidarity and neighborhood, reflecting and promoting the huge community that the school creates.

The video shows students, former students, teachers and parents of the school and shows not only Paz de Ziganda Ikastola, but also the town that has witnessed its growth: The Atarrabia. Because we are also a town, we have engraved it in several significant corners of Villava, such as the small mountain Ezkaba and the bridge of the Trinity of Arre. Sugaar, Mikelats, Mari and Atarrabi, the mythological characters of the Villava valleys that are mentioned in the lyrics of the song, appear in this last wonderful place, together with Mochila 21. We wanted the video to be very lively and colorful so that it had the air of the atmosphere that the Navarre Walk festival has.

We have done it mentally, with a clear purpose, proclaiming the work of the neighborhood and with the intention of making children, young people and adults dance. We have done it with all our heart, putting the Basque language and the town of Villava in the center. And finally, we have done it on foot, advancing at full speed, but without forgetting our past and roots.

Estitxu Aroz wanted to combine history and legend, the world and its environment, the uncertainty of the future and the other in the lyrics of the song. The song includes fragments and slogans of the Oinezas songs that have been celebrated in the Peace of Ziganda Ikastola in Villava, “With the explicit emphasis on the myth of Villava, the geography, the person and the historical contribution of the Peace of Ziganda ikastola, we will arrive at the only possible path that seems optional to defer our language: “We are Russian or not,” he said.
