Iparraguirre y Baleraí, José María de, Spanish-Basque composer and poet; b. Villarreal de Urrechu, Aug. 12, 1820; d. Zozobastro de Isacho, April 6, 1881. He led a wandering life, improvising songs and accompanying himself on the guitar. One of his songs, Guernikako arbola, a hymn to the sacred tree of Guernica, became the national anthem of the Basques. As a result of the unrest in the Basque country, and his own participation in it, he was compelled to leave Spain. He spent many years in South America, and was enabled to return to Spain in 1877, where he obtained an official pension.
