Kultura > Korrika 15
On Saturday April 14th 2007 we joined from London the
celebrations of the “Korrika 15”. This time, as in the
previous times, many of our members came down for the event,
which consisted of an afternoon meeting at the park near
Oxford House, where we carried out our own traditional and
symbolic “run”, and a party afterwards at RampArt with food,
drinks and music till late hours of the night.
Extravagantly,
we set ourselves to cook some really special food for this
edition, and as a result we were able to enjoy a truly
magnificent Marmitako as a main and “star” dish, as well as
several smaller side plates such as a variety of salads and
txorizo.
Thanks to the facilities available at RampArt, we also
had the chance to see on a big screen some videos about the
different Korrika editions in previous years in the Basque
Country, as well as videos of this year’s edition, which AEK
sent us for the occasion. These videos with really amazing
and emotive images, music and interviews, kept the punters
entertained for well over an hour.
Later, the London based Rock band “Two4aFiver” took to
the stage and played a very solid gig, including their
current hits and some of their new songs too. This band
includes a member of our Society and they brought over to the
party some of their friends too.
After a while and a few
drinks, we were all good friends in all.
They have been recently in talks with a record company
and they are planning a very busy summer of gigs and tours.
Not surprisingly, since they have great music and a very
energetic live show. Thanks for the show and all the best to
them (www.myspace.com/two4afiver)
Finally, after some more DJ-music and some more good
moments, and rather sadly, we had to call it a night and
slowly started to head back home.
Another Korrika in London, and yet another day to cherish
and remember…
