content: Maitane Uriarte Atxikallende (presenter); Amaya Monasterio; Liz Hardesty; Patty Gabica; James Sangroniz; Karmela Murlea (participants) This narrative session will involve participants from the Biotzetik Basque Choir and Oinkari basque Dancers, both from Boise, Idaho. The Biotzetik Basque Choir was founded in 1986, and since then has sung traditional Basque folk songs and religious songs in festivals, weddings, and funerals. The Oinkari group was founded in 1960 by a group of Basque Americans who traveled to Basque country to learn about traditional dance. Members from these two groups will discuss what the role of music and dance is in Basque religious traditions, festivals, and ceremonies and how those events had been modified and adapted.
