Paris, France. The Basque club in Paris will parade on March 2nd with a festive group led by two giant figures that of the Lamina and the Basajaun, dancers and musicians from the Gazteria group along with singers from Gernika’s choir.
A group of club members has been working for weeks in a creative workshop that takes place on Saturdays at the club. The group has gathered recycled materials, with which, little by little, they are creating giant versions of the Lamina and the Basajaun. The group has created a Facebook page where you can follow their progress, step by step.
