Jill Aldape, who lives in Boise, graduated from the University of Idaho with B.A. degrees in Spanish and International Studies. She traveled to the Basque Country as a Fulbright Scholar and studied Basque language and dance.
Upon her return to Boise, she taught Euskara (Basque) classes for beginners at the Basque Museum & Cultural Center, and Spanish classes as an adjunct instructor for the Department of Modern Languages & Literatures at Boise State University.

She is a member of a newly-formed Basque folk-rock musical ensemble called Amuma Says No, and she frequently visits cultural festivals throughout the Northwest.
