Hertzainak - Aitormena

Review by Missy Ward

Aitormena, the fourth studio album by Basque rock band Hertzainak, is a powerful and emotional work that showcases the group's unique blend of punk, folk, and traditional Basque music. Released in 1988, the album was a critical and commercial success in Spain, and helped establish Hertzainak as one of the most important bands in the Basque music scene.

The album's title track, "Aitormena," is a haunting ballad that tells the story of a young Basque soldier who dies in the Spanish Civil War. The song's mournful melody and poignant lyrics capture the tragedy and sense of loss that many Basques felt during this tumultuous period in their history. Other standout tracks on the album include "Zu Atrapatu Arte" and "Gaztetxoak," which showcase the band's high-energy punk rock sound, and "Ama, Adixkide," a tribute to the band's mothers that features beautiful harmonies and acoustic guitar.
