Touching moments at the China Euskal Etxea, in Basque bertsoak
02/23/2009
Touching moments, last February 15th at the China Basque Center in Shanghai while paying contribution and honoring Juanito Sarasola, instrumental person in the foundation of the Txinako Euskal Etxea and a promotor of the knowledge of the Basques and the Basque culture in the Asian Giant. After the delivering of the prize, the most special and touching moment came when everybody red and sang at once the 'bertsoak' that a well known bertsolaria (bertso-maker) in the Basque Country, Amets Arzallus, made up for the moment. Zorionak (congratulations), Juanito, for the prize and for all the sincere love and appreciation showed to you by all the presents [video-pictured, Estibalitz Gete, president of the China Basque Center, Juanito Sarasola, and Mikel Usandizaga, master of ceremonies; in the picture below, Estibalitz Gete, Juanito Sarasola, and Alex Arriola, member of last year's Board of Directors]
