  "family": "global",
  "lineage": "Basque bertsolaritza improvised-verse tradition of the Basque Country (Euskal Herria, northern Spain and southwestern France), in which bertsolari poet-singers improvise extempore verses in the Basque language on assigned topics, often in competitive-dueling exchange. Performance: solo unaccompanied voice in characteristic narrow-range Basque-folk melodic vocabulary, with strict Basque-poetic-meter conventions governing the improvisation. The annual Bertsolari Txapelketa Nagusia (Bertsolari Grand Championship, held every four years) constitutes the central institutional anchor; the Mintzola Foundation (founded 1996) and Xenpelar Dokumentazio Zentroa preserve the institutional archive. Distinguished from other Mediterranean improvised-poetic traditions by Basque-language base and Euskara-specific meter conventions.",
