Zusammenfassung

In 1937, almost 4,000 Basque children were evacuated to the United Kingdom after the bombing of Guernica and its surroundings. Those children taken in British land became cultural agents and broadcasters of their popular musical heritage in the colonies where they lived, in the spontaneous meetings in which they sang, in the concerts or large events organized to raise funds (like the cultural international meeting at the Royal Albert Hall in London), and in their gramophone records. We can see that those children made the music from their homeland pass round and that the British received it to help them economically, show them respect and support them in their suffering.
