Kantuketan - Basque Country (2 CDs) (Ocora)
$36.99

Two CD set presents Basque singing from several generations and styles, a mixture of 'wild songs' without words, formal choral singing, improvisations, pastorals and more modern song forms. There are both a capella and small ensemble pieces. This set portrays an art that has been able to keep up-to-date without losing any of its poetic force. The real deal, traditional songs, not a modern interpretive approach.
A nice presntation, 2 CDs in a large format (6" x 10") hard-cover book with photos, songs notes and essays in French, English, Basque and Spanish.

Listen:
singer with flute and ttun-ttun

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.
