Claouriot Dubourg

Claouriot Dubourg from Saint-Symphorien (33) is listed on page 28 and 43 of Lothaire Mabru's book "La bagemuse des landes de Gascogne", Belin-Beliet, Center Lapios du Bazadais, "Les Amis du Bazadais" 1986 edition.

“… Two other musicians played bagpipes at Saint-Symphorien: the father and son Dubourg, the first born in 1843; the second named Claouriot, born in 1869 and died shortly before 1939. They both take part in the competitions of Bounloures (bohas) of Saint-Symphorien in 1889, and are classified second ex-æquo.

They probably took part in the Villandraut competition of 1888, since "Le Conservateur du Bazadais" presents them as both, first prize from Villandraut. Claouriot Dubourg is still remembered today and we remember that he played the bagpipe during the pork kill, which was also an opportunity to party and dance ”.
