Up close and Personal: A chat with Begona Echeverria, singer-songwriter of “Bonbarazi Du Gernika”

Begoña Echeverria, author (The Hammer of Witches), playwright (“Picasso Presents Gernika”), and singer-songwriter, has released a song and music video named “Bonbarazi Du Gernika” in honor of the 85th anniversary of the bombing of Gernika on this day, April 26th.

Why we love this

The song is poignant and important, and the video is beautiful. Not only that, but her perspective below has given us an even deeper, richer appreciation for this performance. You’re not fluent in Basque? No problem –  Begoña provides English translation towards the end of the video.
