cd cover Benito Lertxundi
40 Urtez Ikasten Egonak ()

A 2 CD set of many of the best-known songs of Lertxundi's musical career, recorded during the live performances at Liceo Theater in Gernika and Leidor Hall in Tolosa in March,2005 with his regular band members (Juantxo Zeberio, Pello Ramirez, Angel Unzu, Olatz Zugasti, Fernando Ederra, Kutxo Otxoa and Jose Mari Irastorza, among others). Also includes two new songs: "Itsasoari begira" (Looking at the sea) and Olatz Zugasti's song "Itoitz".

Itoitz

This two-disc collection brings into focus that full 40 years of song, with a particular emphasis on the beginning period as well as his most recent work. Here, recorded in the ancient Basque capitals of Gernika and Tolosa, Lertxundi and his band, including his partner Olatz Zugasti (harp and vocals) bring all of that history together. It is simple, lyrical folk music, singer-songwriter variety, but with the full benefit of strong musical support... On what is perhaps his strongest record to date, the oldest songs sound new. There's a smooth, easy movement from one song to the next, but certain songs do assert themselves with their lyrical and melodic mastery. - David Cox, RootsWorld

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.
