Just like the Euskal Etxea in Miami did, a group of friends in Bermeo have launched a campaign in solidarity of Joseba Andoni Larrazabal, an 8-year-old boy that needs treatment. Joseba Andoni nearly drowned in a pool at the age of 11 months, in an accident that has left him with serious developmental delays, and a seizure disorder. The family moved to Miami where he was receiving special treatment. Now, he requires more very expensive treatment and his friends on both sides of the Atlantic have mobilized to help raise funds. Do you want to help? We'll tell you how.

The Bizkaian group, Kherau published a new album Aukhera with a song entitled “Nevada.” We listened to it and yes, it is a song about the Diaspora: a herder that had to immigrate to America sings to his newborn daughter that he left at home. It is a melancholic and beautiful song, the testimony of the experience of those who had to emigrate. “We tried to do a jota to the western music: it’s not music from here or there, something in the middle,” one of the group members, Iker Lope de Bergara, told EuskalKultura.com.
