Bersolaritza is a uniquely Basque form of improvisational poetry, done only in Euskara. Basque people are featured in this year’s Smithsonian Folklife Festival, which will continue to run this week from July 7 to July 10. If you live in the DC area, you can listen to some accomplished bertsolaris at the festival. Otherwise, you can still learn a lot about this living art form.
