The song is a Zuberoan Basque song written by traditional singer and composer Etxahun Iruri, about Death: "Hori bera da denen ixtoria / herioak bardintzen handi ttipiak / zeren ilüsione bat bera da / lürraren gaineko gure pasajea" (It’s the same story for all, big or small, all are equal when facing death, because our passing on earth, is just an illusion).

And this, helping at the same time Basque cultural projects in Boise at BSU. This video talks about those projects that the game will help.
