Jabier Muguruza
Enegarren Postala
$17.99
This pop recording from Basque Spain sits squarely on the border between folk-ballad and schmaltz, I know, but this is just such a great voice that I am willing to forgive the sometimes overly-lush production just a bit. Muguruza has been described as 'a cantautor of infinite gentleness' by El Periódico. El País de las Tentaciones says he has "a tenuous voice that modulates with subtlety and the lyrics fly with the fine irony of the mundane." And El Pais says 'it is an ironic, subtle and intensely poetic vision.'
You be the judge - listen:

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.
