Elias Echegoyen, one of the last living founders of the Eusko Alkartasuna Basque Club, created in Sao Paulo in 1959, passed away this week. A few months ago, the director of EuskalKultura.com visited Sao Paulo and recorded a short video of Elias. Originally from Xabier, Navarre, this sensitive and committed Basque will be remembered at a funeral on Saturday. Our condolences to his family and to all of his friends in the Basque community in Brazil.
