L'Àliga de Berga parla de l'alliberament de l'antiga vila que, el 1393, passà del domini feudal de Joana d'Aragó, comtessa de Foix, al domini reial de Joan I. El mateix mossèn Armengou escrivia el 1973 que el ball de l'Àliga comença "amb un delicat joc de peus, tot filigrana, com una princesa captiva que broda amb esperança la senyera del seu alliberament". Aconseguida la llibertat emprèn el vol seguint una de les melodies més majestuoses de la Patum, himne per als berguedans.
L'àliga de la Patum és la comparsa més distingida de la festa i ha esdevingut tot un símbol de la ciutat de Berga.
En aquest vídeo es poden veure escenes de la Patum de Lluïment 2013 fins el Ball de l'Àliga, malauradament obligacions familiars no em van permetre enregistrar tot l'acte.
Francesc Quintana interpreta magistralment en piano el Ball de l'Àliga, banda sonora i autèntica ànima d'aquest vídeo. Gracies Francesc també per les teves aportacions en el procés d'edició.
Res més, espero que us agradi, Guillem.

The Patum festival is held during the week of Corpus in the city of Berga and has become a historical document and a highly popular festival. Its origin lies in the 14th century, although over time it has evolved.
It brings together sacramental, historical and popular culture elements through the representation of symbolic characters, music and fire.
Patum de Berga was declared World Heritage in 2005. The eagle is the oldest of catalonia, built in 1756, is a large cardboard figure that dances to a distinguished and monumental music, may have originated in the sixteenth century and derives from an ancient Gregorian hymn that has come to define as one of the three most brilliant pieces of the Catalan traditional music.
In this video you can see some fragments of the cerimonial Patum.
Francesc Quintana has played brilliantly the eagle dance music, tank you very much Francesc.
