It’s been 9 months since the Hella Basque YouTube channel launched! Nine months of uploading a new video every Thursday about the Basque Country and Basque people.
I want to take a moment this week to round up for you the 7 most viewed videos on our fledgling channel.
In case you want to get caught up on what’s been going on with Hella Basque’s videos, here are the ones to start with.
Today on the YouTube channel, I’m continuing our introductory series on the Basque Country with a video answering the question: “What Is Euskadi?”
Many people may have heard this word but aren’t sure what it means, so I’m explaining what Euskadi is and what it is not. Please share with anyone you think would benefit from this information.
Today on the YouTube channel, I’m talking all about Jaialdi, the largest Basque festival in the United States. It happens every 5 years in Boise, Idaho and attracts anywhere from 35,000 to 50,000 people. Lucky for us, 2020 is a Jaialdi year!
Jaialdi will take place July 28 through August 2, 2020.
Find out what you need to do to prepare for this epic Basque American festival and what to expect when you get there.
Today on the YouTube channel, I’m sharing an interview I did with my dad about his Christmas growing up in the Basque Country in the 1940’s and 1950’s.
Aita talks about what they did on Christmas Day, what kinds of presents he got, and how he sees traditions have changed over the years. He discusses how he spent Christmas in the United States vs. the Basque Country, what he thinks of Olentzero, and shares his Christmas message for the audience.
Are you a big fan of the Basque Country and Basque food? To bring your love of Basque culture into the home, I put together this list of the best Basque cookbooks out there.
Today on the YouTube channel, I’m talking all about free resources for learning Euskara, the Basque language.
I discuss what online courses, websites, mobile apps, and videos are out there to help you improve your Basque language skills.
This is a great video to share with anyone you know trying to learn some Basque.
