Akelarre: Against the Tide

Torkemada, the hit song by Basque rock band Akelarre, is 30 years old. Bassist Markos Juaristi and drummer Pako Díaz reminisce about the band’s glory days: 16 albums in Basque blending rock and Celtic harmonies, more than 1,500 concerts in village squares and at festivals. It was an era unlike any other.
