[BASQUE COUNTRY - 1960s] - Lot 289
[BASQUE COUNTRY - 1960s] A substantial collection of more than 500 documents, most of which are flyers inviting locals and summer visitors to enjoy the summer season by visiting the nightlife venues along the Basque Coast, such as the “Bora Bora” at the Guéthary casino or the “Tagada” at the Saint-Jean-de-Luz casino. The collection features musical events from the 1960s, Basque sports competitions (pelota), cinema (La Rotonde), local folklore and Basque festivals, as well as cultural and traditional events from various other towns in the inland Basque Country. One of the binders contains about twenty documents from the years 1900–1920 concerning the Donibandarrak musical society of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, a musical institution in Saint-Jean-de-Luz for over a century. Documents contained in three binders, including a few duplicate posters or flyers. The Donibandarrak Association: Originally, from 1889 to 1924, this association began with the creation of a choral society. Whether it was for the sailors of Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Ciboure, for young men called up for military service, for widows supporting their families, or for any charitable cause, the Amicale Donibandarrak was always ready to mobilize all its resources to support the underprivileged. In 1913, for example, it organized an international fandango competition, held at the Jeu de Paume in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, featuring the best dancers from Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Ciboure, Hendaye, Irun, and San Sebastián. Any musical or cultural event falls within its scope of activities. Today, the various sections of the Amicale Donibandarrak participate in and take an interest in all sporting, cultural, and artistic events, thereby continuing its mission as a charitable organization always ready to devote itself and offer its support to the unfortunate and the needy.
