Story
Voice from the Forest... A Legend Becomes a Song
In the mountains of Urkiola, where the mist coils like a serpent among the oaks, the villagers spoke of a voice that sang at dawn. It was not human, they said, nor animal. It was something older than language, deeper than echo: a melody that seemed to spring from the very heart of the forest.
Legend tells that centuries ago, a young woman named Maialen lived in a hut hidden among the trees. She had the gift of music, and every night she sang for the spirits of the forest: the lamiak of the river, the galtzagorri of the moss, the dragons sleeping beneath the earth. Her voice wove peace between beings seen and unseen.
But one day, men came with axes and fire. They wanted to open paths, raise towers, tame the mountain. Maialen sang to stop them, but her song was drowned out by the noise. She disappeared among the roots, and ever since, her voice has been trapped in the forest.
They say that when the wind blows from the north and the moon is full, you can hear its song. Not with your ears, but with your soul. Whoever hears it and remembers it will be able to turn it into a song. Thus was born the zortziko of Maialen, a melody passed down from generation to generation, without a score, without fixed lyrics, only emotion.
A wandering musician, Aitor, heard it one night while camping near the beech forest. The melody possessed him, and upon returning to the village, he played it on his txalaparta and trikitixa. People cried, laughed, and danced. The song had no name, but everyone knew it was "the voice that comes from the forest."
