June-July 2010 Concert offering.
An Andoni Aguirre & Kristi
Gjezi tour is scheduled to take place in June and July of 2010.
As well as the concert, they also hope to organize a master
class in music for young people. The project that they
have been working on is particularly good and has helped us gain
the support of Pantxoa Etchegoin, who is head of the Basque
Institute of Bayonne, and who has kindly offered to financially
support the tour, helping with costs for travel to, from and
within America. Here are some links for the artist's
music: Andoni Aguirre

LEARN
BASQUE WITH A BASQUE FAMILY. We are a Basque family from
Busturia in Bizkaia. For many years we have hosted Basque
students from all over the world who have came to our house to
learn Basque. They usually attend the euskaltegi in Gernika in
the mornings. We would like to host a North American person
interested in learning Basque during the year because in the
summer we usually host the students that have a high level of
Basque that are part of the program "Euskal familiekin
egonaldiak"organized by HABE. We are musicians and play
actors. Ama Rosa is a teacher of Basque language. The aita Doro
is a musician and actor and he used to teach Basque too. The two
daughters are Andere (actress) and Maialen (musician). We have a
dog and we love people from all over the world. We can negotiate
the price of the stay. In order to get in touch with us write
us an email to:

REMEMBERING GERNIKA BOMBING. There is a study at the
University of Cambridge, England examining what kinds of
transmission of memory were taking place amongst the Basque
diaspora regarding the bombing of Gernika. Do you have any
information from your local community about either public
commemorative events or simply reflections on the ways in which
the memory of the event has been transmitted unofficially
through family customs etc. Contact Daniel Clarke at
