Unai Azkune is, as far as I know, Ball of Wax‘s first Spanish contributor. “Bálsamo de Tigre” is a simple, moving song featuring only voice (sung in English) and some deft fingerstyle nylon-string acoustic guitar. There’s something really great and effective about the guitar playing, both simple and intricate, conveying the sadness of the lyrics. “Bálsamo de Tigre” is a song of somber longing, an earnest ballad that certainly has its dirge-y moments.

Very happy to have Unai in the fold, but he’s actually our second Basque contributor. His countrywoman Ainara LeGardon has appeared on a few volumes over the years.
