Choeurs basques mixtes Xurxulak et Mendiz Mendi

Tuesday, October 13, 2026

Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, Behe-Nafarroa

Eglise Rue de la citadelle 64220 SAINT-JEAN-PIED-DE-PORT

By the end of 2024 in Garazi, the mixed choir Xurxulak (meaning “whispers” in Basque) brings together about twenty singers from various villages in the Basque Country and Béarn, from Labourd to Lower Navarre and the area around Pau. Led with passion by Patricia Arhancet, a renowned accordionist, and accompanied by the seasoned guitarist and singer Jean-Luc Proust, the choir primarily performs a selection of joyful and festive Basque songs. True to its spirit of openness, Xurxulak is gradually expanding its repertoire to include both secular and sacred songs.
