135
years ago

19 December 1889,

Nemesio Etxaniz Aranbarri was born in Azkoitia. Writer and priest became an important reference of Basque culture. He went away from the initial Christian fundamentalism, and worked hard in the Basque culture oppressed by Franco and in defending the rights of the Basques. He worked tirelessly in the rebirth of Basque culture, bringing the modern novel, theatre and song closer to the Basque speakers.

Among others, they are the famous song Anttoni ta Antton and Gernika. Letters from Eusko Kantata.

He died on 27 January 1982 in San Sebastian.
