SHOOTING FROM THE LIP
Bertsolaritza is the art of singing extemporaneously composed songs in improvised stanzas (Bertsoak) in Basque by improvisers known as Bertsolaris. Shooting from the Lip, by Jose Mallea-Olaetxa, is the first bilingual Bersto book printed in America that is dedicated to Basque-American verse singing. Olaetxa beautifully weaves together the history of Berstogintza (the craft), the various bertsolaris, and their impact on the Basque-American identity.
A fun fact: In June 2003, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) acknowledged four Basque Bertsolaris in the United States for NEA’s National Heritage Fellowships.
