The Boise Omenaldia Mass, first celebrated in 1996, was started as a way to honor the lives of Basque who have gone before us. From that first mass, it has become a way for an entire community to pray together for those who have died. This year 50 people were remembered with a mass at Sacred Heart Church in Boise. White candles adorned with red and green ribbon were given to family members to light in honor of the deceased, and as always, three female dancers performed San Juan.

Beltran has taught music for many years in the Basque Country, he has recorded several albums, and introduced antique instruments back into the world of popular music.
