Szeged, Hungary. The Basque language and culture lectureships started Basque Week 2013 in Hungary, with an inaugural event in Budapest.  The event, just as last year, included a dance and music workshop where Basque and Hungarian rhythms were fused thanks to lecturer Izaskun Perez and the local group Gobe.  Students learning Basque supported the event, providing Basque dance demonstrations.   

Today, events will move to Szeged, the fourth-largest city in Hungary, where another Basque dance workshop will take place at 7:00 p.m.  It will take  place in the Millennium Plaza with Izaskun Perez, students and the group Samli.
