More than 100 people gathered last Saturday, invited by the Buenos Aires Euskaltzaleak Basque language school, to participate in the first Triki-poteo to be held in the capital. The event began around 7pm and generated a special atmosphere in the San Telmo district, where the group traveled. Trikitixas, albokas and panderos as well as gaitas, violins and guitars from the Scottish community, filled the streets and bars with music, song and dance giving them a little taste of the Basque custom that organizers hope to make a regular event.

The Vascosmexico group, a virtual meeting place in a wide Basque community in this North American country celebrated its first 10 years last Saturday the 19th with a big party that took place at Alberto Ituarte’s Alaia Restaurant. The get-together was very animated, as this group’s activities usually are, attended by friends and in some cases; this was the first face-to-face meeting for some after exchanges messages online. One of those, for example, was Ibon Mendibelzua, the new Delegate of Euskadi in Mexico City. The gallery of photos of Vascosmexico includes a large photo chronicle of the evening.
