This year’s training program, Gaztemundu is progressing with great atmosphere, and a very high level of talent, as this year’s program is dedicated to music. Selected participants arrived with much skill, many having formal musical training, which is helping them take full advantage of classes provided. Between lessons, the musicians also have a little time to visit and get to know Euskal Herria better. On Saturday, in Pasai San Pedro, they rowed the trainera Ameriketatik, paid for by the Basque Diaspora, and on Sunday they visited Gernika. The program ends this Saturday.

Located 600km southwest of the Argentinean capital, the city of Pigüé doesn’t have a Basque club for now. That is why a small group of Basque descendants have started monthly meetings to lay out the groundwork for the creation of a club. “Even though putting together a commission or forming an institution isn’t the priority right now, the goal for this year is to get the most Basques together in order to better understand our history and our roots,” Veronica Olleta explains to EuskalKultura.com. The meetings take place the third Monday of the month at the local Navarra Café-Restó.
