Join host Joe Williams as he takes a deep dive into the Basque country’s rich oral traditions, specifically the little-known art of Bertsolaritza, in which performers improvise poetry within prescribed frameworks of meter, cadence, and melody. Joe explores differences in style and content among various regions of the Basque country. Bertsolaritza is emblematic of Basque cultural identity, and young generations of performers are working to ensure the form remains relevant while guarding its legacy. With Bertsolaritza performers and researchers Joxerra Garcia Garmendia, Maialen Lujanbio, and Miren Artetxe Sarasola.
