The CBC NABO Mus Tournament was held on Saturday, February 3rd.  The first-place victors were CBC members JP Iriart and Denis Petrissans.  They played against Johnny Echeverria and Javi Lesaca, both from Bakersfield but both also CBC members.

Begona Echeverria conducted research in the “cathedral of libraries,” Oxford University’s Bodleian. Among its treasures is one of the rarest books in the world, a Basque New Testament published in 1571 by Joannes Leizarraga (‘Oxford, Bodleian Libraries, 8° T 6 Th.Seld.’) Commissioned by the Protestant Queen of Navarre, Jeanne d’Albret, it is one of few books that uses “noka,” the second person pronoun used with a female addressee. Above are images of the New Testament, including the passage where the Angel Gabriel tells the Virgin Mary: “Blessed Art Thou Among Women.”

You will not want to miss this very special event hosted by the Basque Educational Organization (BEO) on Saturday, October 21st, 2023. Panel discussions will explore women’s past, present and future roles in Basque communities in America.
