Repertoire


Throughout its history, Erketz has tried to broaden as much as possibleits program, covering dances from different areas of the Basque Country and therefore getting a great musical and visual treasure. The cooperation with other groups has been very important for the learning of the dances.

During the 2002 - 2003 season the Erketz's program is composed of the next dances:

Dances of Gipuzkoa:
'Soinu Zaharrak' or 'old melodies'

Dances of Bizkaia:
'Jota' of Arratia and Sardiñeras

 

 

Dances of Nafarroa:
Ingurutxo of Iribas
Dance of Otxagabia
Irradaka of Urdiain

Dances of Behenafarroa:
Carnival of Luzaide

Besides these dances, there is one in particular which identifiees with Lasarte-Oria. This takes the name of   'Witch Dance of Oria'   (in euskera), wich is being danced from the very beginings of the group.

Erketz is also proud of taking part in the scenic Show called 'Basque Views' toghether with the accordion orchestra '  Zero Sette  ' and the 'Alboka' chorus, both of them from Lasarte-Oria.
This show has a big artistic value and it has always been performed succesfully.
