These lines have been written a few hours before Boise's Basque Soccer Friendly, between Athletic Bilbao and Tijuana Xoloitzcuintles. This is a unique game and a historical opportunity, because really there are little opportunities to see in Boise an European team, a good one like Athletic, Basque that works with its youth reserve. And this, helping at the same time Basque cultural projects in Boise at BSU. This video talks about those projects that the game will help.

Conductor Dennis Cruz and his "The Attitude Adjustment Hour" program arrive in their journey to Boise, Idaho and visit the city's Basque Block, an area in the heart of Boise where you can reach, among other Basque places, the Basque Center, the Basque Museum, the Gernika Bar, Hotel Leku Ona or the Basque Market. Tony Arrubarrena, one of the Basques who appear in the program, has just died this past May 30 in Boise at the age of 83 years, so bringing this video here is a way to remember him.

The video shows a group of schoolchildren of the Welsh village of Llanfairpwll singing which is probably the best known song of the popular Basque band Ken Zazpi (see the original version). Iñaki Pierola a Basque who did an internship as a teacher in that town in 2011 directed it. His students were interested about the Basques and their language and culture, so he decided to teach them the song. They did not know Basque, but this was no obstacle to prepare everything in two weeks. Theyu are children of 9-11 years old, accompanied on the guitar by Iñaki himself, on piano by another teacher and with another student as drummer. Zorionak, congratulations to all of them!
