On Sunday the online radio program "8 Herrialdeak Zuzenean", hosted by Benoit Etcheverry and Robert Acheritogaray, will celebrate its 10 years on air, with an special broadcast full of surprises. The program will connect live with the Petaluma Picnic, contributing to the festival vibe with a concert by Basque group Begiz-Begi (they will be touring the US in July, so make sure to listen to their music!). And do not hesitate to take part in the program calling or sending a message by e-mail.
Baiona, Lapurdi. "8 Herrialdeak Zuzenean" (8 Provinces Live) is ready to rock this Sunday, celebrating its 10th anniversary with an special broadcast with guests, live concerts and overseas connections. The program will air from the GLAIN Associations Center in Baiona and will be broadcast live on the internet for all the Diaspora (you can listen to it at www.euskalirratiak.info or www.gureirratia.eu).
The show will begin at 8:00 pm (Basque Country time), which will be around midday in the US. In San Francisco, the local Basque community will get together at the Petaluma picnic, and the program will connect with them live through a giant screen. The Basque group Begiz Begi will perform in Baiona, and the people in Petaluma will have the chance to enjoy their music at the picnic (sounds like a plan!).
Likewise, 8HZ will also connect live with the Viedma Basque Club, in Patagonia, Argentina. The program will be streamed live at the webpage of Kanaldude, the local television of Iparralde (www.kanaldude.tv).
If you want to be part of this program, you can send your message by e-mail to irratia@8probintziak.com and Benoit and Robert will read it live for all the Diaspora.
[The program will be dedicated to the memory of Caroline Prime, who died recently due to an illness. Caroline was the girlfriend of 8HZ host Benoit Etcheverry. Doluminak, our condolences to our friend Benoit, eta besarkada bero bat]
