Jose Manuel Lujanbio Retegi (also known as Txirrita, ), born on Hernani in 1860 and died in Altza in 1936, was a Basque composer of verse, known as bertsolaris.
== Life == He was born in the Ereñozu neighborhood of Hernani and when he was still a child, his family moved to a baserri in Errenteria named Txirrita, from whence he acquired his nickname. In his last years he lived in the Gazteluene baserri in Altza.
