	Côte Basque Music Group
		Music is devised, made and sold in units of product and the artists who make the music are viewed (by their record labels) as an irritating requirement, rather than a passionate inspiration.
		We are a small company, with a crusading belief in the importance of real music and the ongoing need for artist-driven progress and continual change - created by the same basic principals which have been responsible for all the major popular music of the last 60 years, or so.
		Côte Basque is not interested in Pop Idol, X Factor, or any processed, contrived and inevitably short-term processed music or artists, Côte Basque is interested in THE TRUTH...

		In the 18th century, the txistu was adopted by the Count of Peñaflorida and his Basque Illustration cultural revival, and became a part of Basque aspirations for the nobility.

	Classical music: Basque music
		Folk music and the improvisations that are characteristic of the region, have became a possession of the people and a means of identifying and celebrating their language and their culture.

		Basque is Brandt on bass and the voice of Maryasque.
		Basque was born in one of the noisiest cities on earth.
		Basque is made up of Brandt on bass and Maryasque on vocals--basically a Tuck & Patti with a twist: subtle and soothing new age sounds that seem to float from your speakers.

	Dirty Linen #71: A Basquet of Apples
		The Basque country, a region of Europe famed for breathtaking mountain gorges and flocks of sheep, unspoiled forests and orchards of crisp apples, straddles the border of France and Spain, encompassing the bay of Biscay and the foothills of the Pyrenees.
		The origin of the Basques is truly a mystery; their language is completely isolated and apparently unrelated to any other recorded language in human history.
		Basque accordionists favor a brisk, intricate and highly-ornamented style of playing, replete with staccato triplets that are underscored by the skittering of the tambourine.

	Who Do You Think You Are?: Radio Show on Basque Music: can we separate art from politics?
		Rather, what I would like to point at is that, as a Basque in the Basque countries, it is not so difficult, given the special laws into place and the coercion of the police forces, to finish into the traps the so-called ‘machine of justice’.
		MUSIC:Basque music - Hertzainak, Kortatu / Negu Gorriak, The Dirties, Oreka TX While Hertzainak were extremely popular in the Basque, some say that their choice of singing in Basque has in fact limited the possibilities of reaching to a wider audience.
		As a matter of fact, the Basque political aspirations for self-determination are not put forward in a vacuum; rather, the Basque have established strong ties with Latin America (which is still the preferred destination for ETA exiles) and insert their own claims within the wider discourse of international solidarity and of global struggle against imperialism.

	Basque Music: National Geographic World Music
		The Basque country straddles the border between France and Spain, and contains the rural mountain villages of the Pyrenees, and the industrialized cities and fishing towns of the Bay of Biscay.
		In the late 19th century, an upswell of Basque cultural pride led to the formation of large choirs, which sang traditional song forms and melodies in the Basque language.
		At the same time, the unique rural music and instruments of the region were also being documented and preserved: from the iconic txalaparta—a kind of hammered wooden plank—to the alboka (a goat's horn "clarinet").

		While the traditional and pop music of Madrid is often poles apart from that of the city's longtime rival, Barcelona.
		Basques on both sides of the Pyrennies have been known for their singing since the Middle Ages, and a resurgence of Basque cultural nationalism at the end of the 19th century led to the establishment of large Basque-language choirs that helped preserve their language and songs.
		Next door to the Basque country, in the far Northwest of Spain, is Gallicia, the country's last remaining Celtic stronghold, and it's music bears a strong Celtic stamp.

		The txanbela has maintained its particular early Basque music style and flavour, and is today one of the oldest, if not indeed the oldest, forms of music still present today in our repertory of folk songs.
		Often times the accordion would be played by the younger generation of musical family whose members had played other types of earlier musical instruments; nor was it uncommon for the same musician to switch from his previous instrument to the new accordion.

		Not that Basque cultural activity was ever curtailed competely by Franco: Bertsolaris on the Spanish-administered side included Basarri and Uztapide from Gipuzkoa, and Enbeita from Bizkaia, underestimated by the authorities as harmless rural folk acts.
		In the 1960s, Basque was still primarily a low-status rural language of peasants and fishermen in France, and practically banned in Franco’s Spain.

	The Basque Country that Won't Let Go
		Listening to choral music by the Basque group Oldarra, it is hard not to be totally convinced of the connection between the Basques and the Welsh.
		This is Basque heartland, where the notion of connection with the soil has been always meant a tie to true Basque soil, rather than merely a pale Spanish imitation.
		The feeling arose that the best place to find genuine Basques would be in the inland, in the mountains, where people still look to the soul of the soil that has nourished their very being.

		This trio of recent children's CDs from Europe's Basque country is an illustration that the best way to write for children is to write to them, not down to them.
		The other two recordings are by groups that have made their reputation less with musical excellence and more, well, as clowns.
		In Pirritx and Porrotx's second recording without their old collaborator, singer Takolo, this clown-couple once again explores new musical territory with a variety of friends from Basque music and culture.

		Bruckner's music in general has a heavy, bombastic quality to it, and this Mass, where Bruckner tried to create an effect of Baroque grandiosity, is no exception.
		The Festival considers the presentation of Basque music, Basque orchestras and soloists as one of its major missions, and the local media pay special attention to the local performers.
		Its three movements are written in traditional forms, and the music is predominantly pleasing, with little drama or modernist harshness, though the second movement begins with a brooding bass clarinet solo.

	TAP Program Notes 1999: Basque Music & Dance
		Basque migration to North America began in earnest in the mid 19th century, with the discovery of gold in California.
		Like all immigrants, Basques in the United States reproduced elements of their native culture in their new home—the (Catholic) church, the cemetery, and the pelota (handball) court are often mentioned as being central to community life.
		Basque boardinghouses, for example, which were established to serve as a “home away from home” for new immigrants, as well as an off-season home for sheepherders, eventually became centers of social life for local Basque communities.

	Basque in the music press
		The music is very laid back, almost silent, it moves at a slow pace but drives home what its purpose is. Its purpose is again backing for the Vocal that sways and dances, acting like an instrument itself.
		Ambient music is intended to function as a backdrop and not as a ding an sich; Basque's music, on the other hand, demands...
		Basque is your lunar spaceship of sound, taking off and landing in sonic swirls and afterthoughts, waves upon waves, notes upon notes.

	Bask Progressive Music
		Their early albums, now considered classics, took huge risks for a Basque band, merging symphonic rock with traditional Basque music, and the experience of peaceful life on the coast with existential lyrics.
		Musically it is hard-progressive rock, with excellent flute work reminding on Jethro Tull, lots of fuzz guitars, some acoustic guitar and excellent drumming.
		This still unknown Basque folk-prog album was originally released by Xoxoa in 1978, and musically it is in the same vein of Haizea, a really beautiful album full of folk ambients with some slight progressive moves, using acoustic and electric guitars, xylophone, flute, piano and drumming in some tracks.

	Music Previews \| Basque rhythms infuse Tapia eta Leturia tunes \| Straight.com
		When Basque musician Joseba Tapia was six years old and showed interest in playing traditional dance tunes on the squeezebox, his family and the local priest became nervous about his choice of instrument.
		The Basque word refers not only to the diatonic accordion itself (which is also used in Cajun music), but to a particular type of folk dance and the tunes created for it.
		When Tapia eta Leturia come to the Vancouver Folk Music Festival this weekend, however, they'll be playing the old-style trikitixa–with a fresh twist.
