Pride of place to Basque culture…
The objective is to promote Basque culture through choral singing, so the repertoire of Chœur Etxekoak consists essentially of traditional Basque songs from the 7 provinces that go to make up the Basque country. The choir is directed by Jordi Freixa and Sayo Chim and performs nationwide in France and abroad.
