10 Basque folk songs

Feel the 10 most outstanding Basque folk songs, enjoy the songbook of the Basque Country.

The popular songs of the Basque Country are a delight for the senses, quiet, with a predominance of themes linked to the culture and traditions of our land and, of course, sung in our language, Basque.

It is not surprising that most of the metaphors and main themes of the popular songs of the Basque Country are related to nature, since the Basque people have been and are very attached to their land, their mountains, their cliffs, their beaches and everything that surrounds us.

We have to thank many Basque artists, among them, the great Mikel Laboa, Benito Lertxundi, Xabier Lette, Anje Duhalde, Imanol, Erramun Martikorena, Mikel Markez, Oskorri, Hertzainak and an endless number of great singers and better people. The songs that we are going to quote are great songs of the songbook of the Basque Country, but they are not all, we recommend to look for the songs by the authors that we name.

Even if you do not know the meaning of each one of them, we are sure that the songs in Basque that you are about to hear will be pleasant to the ear and to the heart. We propose you 10 very popular songs from the Basque songbook that my amama (grandmother) Mª Luisa Arrieta loves, 10 popular Basque songs that we hope you will also like.
