The students from Gau Eskola from the Bordeaux Basque club have done a nice and usable job translating the short film, Tartalo eta Patxi artzaina, (Tartalo and Patxi the Sheepherder) into French. The film can be seen on You Tube, in its original Basque version with French subtitles. It is a fun way to learn about Basque mythology for French speakers, as well as being a good way for students to learn Basque at clubs in France and Quebec, for example.

The National Sun Festival is one of the main opportunities that the Eusko Etxea in San Juan has in the foothills of the Andes, to present in front of a massive crowd. That is why club members work hard to adequately represent the Basque Country at this mega event. This year’s showing responded to the motto “The Basques’ Passion for Music,” and besides fandangos and traditional dances also brought with it the Argentine passion to pay tribute to their ancestors.
