The Baiona Kantuz initiative will be celebrating its 26th anniversary and a special program has been organized on April 22nd to celebrate such a special date. It will start at 11 in the morning in Pilori square (if it rains at the Guichot school) with an airy and alert Xaramela song, and also with a fandango, because the song is often a bridge to the dance. Then the sequence is passed in the Lauga room, with a sikiro to soften the strength and the pain, prepared by the Ikastole of Bayona.
And again in the evening with music, singing and dancing, mutchiko and counter dances performed by Bayonne Cantuz musicians.
Moreover, they will not be alone, in addition to the groups coming from Pamplona, Donostia, Bigorre and the North, there will also be Madjig, a Scottish pipe band to play their tunes and to join Tuntuna in some songs.

Music, Singing & Little Things.
The Tuntuna association organized a new program to end 2022 and share the “joy of singing”. Afterwards, he renewed the music festival to welcome spring and offered it at the entrance of the Basque Museum.
The Bayonne Cantuz initiative was founded in 1997 by the parents of students from Oihana and Hiriondo schools in Bayonne. Through this choir, they have wanted to know, spread and sing traditional Basque music ever since and they continue their journey with enthusiasm and humor. The singing lessons given by Sophie Larrandaburu or the presence of supporting musicians such as Elisabeth Dufour, bassist Net Cazaré or accordionist Jean-Christian Irigoyen were milestones in the last stage of the party’s musical progress.
In 2004 the third CD and 90 Bayonan Kantuz were released and for the 20th anniversary, a very special celebration in 2017.
