THE TREE OF GERNIKA

This is a wonderful peek into the life of Berstolari Joxe Mari Iparragirre, musician, freedom fighter, and author of the unofficial Basque anthem, Gernikako Arbola. For the first time ever, his poetry has been translated into English, offering us a glimpse of Euskal Herria in the mid-1800s through the eyes of a man who lived much of his life in exile, but whose profound love and pride of home never ceased.
