Singing from farm to farm, visiting neighbors and friends and sharing the traditional songs of Santa Ageda is a tradition to many rural areas in the Basque Country that every year also takes place in Boise, Idaho. Holding sticks and hitting the ground with them marks the rhythm of the event that will come back to Boise next Monday to the Basque Block, with a second chance for kids on Thursday at the Boise'ko Ikastola. NABO Astero reminds it with this article in its last issue.

We heard about Basque festivals that took place in the clubs in Mountain Home and Caldwell Idaho. The latter, at the Euzkaldunak Caldwell Basque Charities, celebrated the 46th annual Basque Auction, Dinner and Dance with all proceeds to be donated to the local community. In Mountain Home, the Annual Basque Festival was attended by Basque teachers Maria Fernandez, Izaskun Kortazar and Itxaso Cayero, who taught traditional Basque songs to those in attendance and who succeeded at getting everyone to sing.

They are two of the stories of Basque immigrants that are gathered online on the UNICEN website of the National University of the Center of the Province of Buenos Aires; two more testimonies from the Diaspora available online.

The Tamborrada or Danborrada festivities are already behind us but images of celebrations in the Diaspora have come to us allowing us to relive those moments. In Mexico, as usual, the event gathered a large number of members who enjoyed a dinner waiting for a group of tamborreros to come at midnight playing the San Sebastian march. In Quebec, the Euskaldunak Basque club celebrated it for the first time and even appeared on ETB. We also received images of the events held in Caracas and Madrid.
