"In the Basque creative upsurge since the death of Franco, Euskera-language record label and book publisher Elkar has been a major player, particularly at the developmental end of tradition-infused music. There are other, smaller labels releasing interesting music too, but so many leading performers have recorded for Elkar that the sampler Euskal Herriko Musika, a double CD with three booklets giving artist information and complete lyrics, all with translations in Castellano, French and English, makes an excellent introduction to the feel of recent Euskal music, and gives a picture of a place of living tradition where folk and popular aren't mutually exclusive terms." - Andrew Cronshaw, fROOTS "the best introduction to new Basque music for the neophyte... From modern traditionalists to the most important Basque singer-songwriters to accordion masters to folk revival groups and on to rock and roll, this compilation covers the field of Basque roots music admirably... If you want to get started building a Basque collection that suits your personal tastes, this would be the most logical starting point." - Dirty Linen |

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
