During the concert there will be various readings of these letters, written in the XIX century, while the musicians accompany the narration of the joys and pains of those who emigrated with music and poetry.

Bordeaux, France.  The Eskualdunen Biltzarra Basque club in Bordeaux will host a day focusing on Basque emigration on November 25.  The events will begin at noon with lunch, followed by the show, “Aita eta Ama maiteak.”
