content: Sabrina (presenter) Begona Echeverra; Andrea Miren Bidart; Cathy Petrissans; Mikel Markez (participants) Experience a night of Basque traditional music, interpreted in a modern context. NOKA is a trio of Basque American women based in Chino, California: Andrea Miren Bidart, Begoña Echeverria, and Cathy Petrissans. Together they ize in songs about Basque culture, gender, and identity. The group's name derives from the antiquated Basque noka form of address, used familiarly among women with a sense of konfiantza, or trust.
