A Basque in Boise

‘Loretxoa’, Benito Lertxundi’s famous song, flamenco style

Today, thanks to Naiz, I discovered another version of one of my favorite Basque songs, Benito Lertxundi‘s ‘Loretxoa’. This time, Donostia’s flamenco group Sonakay, with Santi, Baldin Bada‘s bass player, performs the song in flamenco style.

I liked it, but I gotta say, my favorite will always be Exkixu’s version, even before I knew who the singer was (Alex Sardui, now with Gatibu).

I’ve gathered below the various versions of ‘Loretxoa’ I could find. What’s your pick?

Benito Lertxundi

Exkixu

Gatibu

Itziar Barredo

Sonakay

    This is phenomenal, one song and such a variety of presentations. I so appreciate that you have shared this. The meaning of the words escape me. I do so regret that I never learned the language of my grandparents.
