London’s Basque society ended the year in an enviable fashion celebrating the month of December with a number of warm activities with great atmosphere. One of the year-end events was the Olentzero dinner that was celebrated on December 17th and attended by the Olentzero and Mari Domingi who handed out gifts to the youngest members of the entity. In addition, a group of trikitilaris from Algorta came and surprised them during the evening, with a “prepoteo” through the streets of the city. Another notable event took place on December 10th with a concert by singer Mikel Urdangarin, and the week before, the International Day of Euskera was celebrated with a fun “mintzapraktika” where members were able to practice Basque in a fun way. The center has published a number of videos of these and other activities.

London, England.  The London Basque Society – Euskal Elkartea finished its year with a number of activities, all of them well attended and full of enthusiasm, and excitement.  Just as the Christmas dinner on December 17th where center members and friends got together at the Hagerston Community Center in Hackney to share a meal.  The dinner was preceded by a warm-up, a cocktail enlivened by the music and good humor of a group of trikitilaris from Algorta.  The meal also included a stellar appearance by the Olentzero and Mari Domingi, who passed out gifts to the kids.

Another very successful event was the concert by Mikel Urdangarin on December 10th, at the clubhouse, Oxford House.  The London Basque Society has published three songs from this event; here is one of them.

Finally, even though the entity organized more activities, we will conclude this audiovisual report with images of the International Day of Euskera in London that was celebrated with a “mintzaptraktika” at Richmond Park and everybody had a great time at the Basque club.
