HI KANTARI: NABOs Mini-songbook project

This pocket-size songbook is an effort to get us singing some more!  Entitled Hi Kantari ("You're a Basque Singer") the booklet is a multi-faceted promotion of the Basque language, mus and of course singing.  These pocket-sized booklets were made available to NABO member organizations who then distributed them.

The pocket-size booklet that collects several dozen songs that were selected based on the following criteria including: general familiarity of the song either here or in the Basque Country; variety of songs from different parts of the Basque Country and from fast to slow songs; a simple tune that's easy to follow, and is it a good sitting around a table or standing in a circle song (i.e., good for hitting the table; good for embracing and swaying back and forth, etc.) and the results of a recent survey in the Basque Country that yielded some favorites.
