The "Anthem of the Basque Race" is the de facto regional anthem of Basque Country in northern Spain, and the ethnic anthem of the Basque people. It is based on an old Basque tune. Written by Basque nationalist writer Sabino Arana, it was originally used for the Basque Nationalist Party, then it was adopted by the first Basque government in the 1930s.[1][2] Its re-proclamation by the Basque Parliament on 14 April 1983 was opposed by several parties that deemed it still to be bound to the PNV rather than to the rest of the Basques.
Like "Marcha Real", there are no official lyrics.
