Entertainment offerings

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 http://www.myspace.com/andopiano999 Kristi Gjezi - http://www.kristi-gjezi.com  For more information contact luke@laclique-production.fr  (posted 10/15/2009)

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: itzarri56@gmail.com

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 dcc35@cam.ac.uk (posted 11/4/2009)
