Lomax Recordings Lomax Recordings
The Spanish Recordings: Basque Country: Biscay and Guipuzcoa (Rounder Lomax)
$16.99

These rare recordings offer improvised sung poetry in the ancient Basque language - deep-voiced fishermen's harmonies and clear women's voices from the valleys and mountains - as well as the sounds of the region's traditional alboka horn, pipe and drum ensembles, and the irrintzi, the reverberating cry that marked the culmination of Alan Lomax's sojourn in Spain. Recorded in 1952 by Alan Lomax and Jeanette Bell. Remastered to 24-bit digital from the original field recordings.

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.
