Dan Ansotegui: Chef, musician, Boisean entrepreneur: “Everything he does leads us to his deep-rooted Basque culture” / Chef, músico, emprendedor boiseano: “Todo lo que hace nos conduce a su enraizada cultura vasca”

Posted on November 12, 2021December 26, 2021 by info

The Basque Boisean entrepreneur, chef, and musician who contributes to the Basque landscape of Boise, Idaho.

El empresario, chef y músico vasco-boiseano que contribuye al paisaje vasco de Boise, Idaho.

Dan Ansotegui is a (re)known Boisean. At 61 years old, his Basque cultural coordinates have marked his life and his Basque-labeled ventures have been successful, in addition to being pioneering and laying the groundwork for and contributing to the current Basque landscape of Idaho’s capital city; it would not have been the same without his contributions.

As an entrepreneur, he founded Bar Gernika and The Basque Market, two establishments that are now landmarks in the city’s Basque Block. In the cultural field, he did the same with the Music School and trikitixa and Basque instruments group Txantxangorriak, teaching classes to children, young and old. Already at a very young age he had taken over from his father Domingo in the percussion of the mythical Jimmy Jausoro Orchestra and, trikitixa in hand, he formed and integrated other Basque musical groups also emblematic of Boise, from Ordago to Gaupasa passing by Amuma Says No.

Pioneer and visionary, his bets added to his constant effort and dedication paid off. And he doesn’t stop. Today he is involved with his wife Tamara and his daughter Ellie in Ansots, Basque Chorizos & Catering, a catering project that he inaugurated last year, still in pandemic, in which he elaborates chorizos in the traditional Basque-American style and other products in line and style inspired by those of Euskadi, adapted to local tastes, as he did in previous initiatives.

This time we mention Dan Ansotegui because this week The Epoch Times, an important American and global right-wing media, has published in its gastronomic section a report titled and subtitled “Meet the cook, restaurateur and musician who keeps the Basque Country alive in Boise; in the case of Dan Ansotegui, everything he does leads us to his deep-rooted Basque culture.”

Dan Ansotegui es un boiseano (re)conocido. A sus 61 años sus coordenadas culturales vascas han marcado su vida y sus emprendimientos de etiqueta vasca han resultado exitosos, además de ser pioneros y de sentar las bases y resultar muy contributivos al paisaje vasco actual de la capital idahoense; no hubiera sido el mismo sin sus aportes. Como empresario, fundó el Bar Gernika y The Basque Market, dos establecimientos hoy día señeros en el Basque Block de la ciudad.

En lo más cultural, hizo lo propio con la Escuela de Música y grupo de trikitixa e instrumentos vascos Txantxangorriak, impartiendo clase a niños, jóvenes y mayores. Ya de muy joven había tomado el relevo a su padre Domingo en la percusión de la mítica Orquesta de Jimmy Jausoro y, trikitixa en mano, conformó e integró otras formaciones musicales vascas también emblemáticas con que contado Boise, desde Ordago hasta Gaupasa pasando por Amuma Says No.

Pionero y visionario, sus apuestas sumadas a su constante esfuerzo y dedicación rinideron sus frutos. Y no para. Hoy se halla involucrado junto a su mujer Tamara y su hija Ellie en Ansots, Basque Chorizos & Catering, un proyecto de restauración que inauguró el año pasado, aún en pandemia, en el que elabora chorizos al estilo tradicional vasco-americano y otros productos en línea y estilo inspirados en los de Euskadi, adaptados a los gustos locales, como ya hiciera en iniciativas previas.

En esta ocasión hacemos mención a Dan Ansotegui porque esta semana The Epoch Times, un importante medio de la derecha estadounidense y global, ha publicado en su sección gastronómica el reportaje titulado y subtitulado “Conoce al cocinero, restaurador y músico que mantiene vivo el País Vasco en Boise; en el caso de Dan Ansotegui, todo lo que hace nos conduce a su enraizada cultura vasca”.
