Kantuketan - Basque Country - Ocora Radio France

The Académie Charles Cros has awarded the doble album "Kantuketan" Coup de Coeur, for their contribution to the diffusion of the world's music (2006)

Charles Cros academy's website.

The doble album "Kantuketan - Ocora Radio France" is also the fruit of a long-standing collaboration  the Basque Cultural Institute and France Bleu Pays Basque wich has been tracking down and digitising radio archives of the Basque Country  from the last thirty years, often finding priceless cultural gems.These recordings are a blend of several generations and styles.

This project is both a marvellous conclusion to our Kantuketan programme and a remarquable testimony that Basque singing is still dans shall ever a living memory in continual evolution...
