What's it about

Screening of the film 'Hauspoa & tunela' and a concert by Gorka Hermosa followed by a talk. TRAILER The City Hall will officially present the short documentary film 'Hauspoa & Tunela' on the origins of Basque trikitixa. The documentary tells how a small accordion brought by an Italian worker who arrived in 1859 to build the tunnels of the Madrid–Paris railway line, from Zumarraga, became the symbol of today's Basque music. The documentary gathers more than 20 testimonies from well-known and important figures in Basque culture, including Fermín Muguruza, Bernardo Atxaga, Enrike Zelaia, Kepa Junkera, Jon Maia and Toti M. de Lezea, as well as testimonies from Trikitixa members with over a century of history who are still active today. In addition to the screening, director Gorka Hermosa will give a short concert.
