EUSKAL
HERRIKO IRRINTZILARIEN LEHEN TXAPELKETA
Irrintzi Championship
of the Basque Country |
|
This
will be held in all the historical territories of the
Basque Country, from March to September inclusive. We
hope to hold the grand finale in Bilbao.
The event will be a fine showcase for a disappearing
aspect of the “Basque soul”.
For the first time there will be
a chance to hear the complete range of the prehistoric
yells of the Basque Country. There will also be exhibitions
of traditional dance and music.

– from publications,
– articles published in the press
– photographs or slides,
– audio recording,
– films or video tapes,
– names of irrintzilaris with their address and telephone
number, where possible
– etc.

DANTZA-ESKOLEN
SORKUNTZA BIZKAIAN
Creation of Dantza-Eskolas in Bizkaia |
The
idea is to create Dantza-Eskolas which would revive
authentic Traditional Dance. These schools will be located
in the following towns:
Arrigorriaga, Barakaldo, Dima, Berriz, Erandio, Lekeitio,
Ondarru, Plentzia, Sopela, Sopuerta, Urdulitz, Zalla,
Zeanuri y Zeberio.
One of our first jobs will be to prepare a team of quality
Dantza-maisus in each town. |
