Porque una gran sonrisa no es sólo el mejor adorno de Navidad sino también una excelente manera de recibir el nuevo año, mientras cantes villancicos o brindes con champán, ¡no dejes de sonreír!

FELIZ NAVIDAD Y PRÓSPERO AÑO NUEVO

Christmas is not the same all over the world. Traditions change from one country to another and how Christmas is celebrated is one of them. In this post I’m going to explain some things we do in the Basque Country at Christmas. Not just Christmas day, but the whole “Christmas holiday” (school holiday period). My family, for example, celebrates:

After this long, long, long, loooooooooo...oooooooong hiatus of mine I'm back with a new song *yaaaaaay*

The song is called "Euskaldun berriaren balada" ("Balada del nuevo euskaldun" in Spanish or "New basque's ballad" in English). Don't know why but I love this song. It kind of summarizes the feeling of a new basque learner. In Basque we do ( Read more... )

I'm a little bit too late with this post, something like almost a month... *ashamed*

My intention was to make this post right after the event, but didn't have the time back then and I ended postponing it until now.

So, what event am I talking about? Today's post is dedicated to the Korrika!! (That's Correr in Spanish or Run in English)

( But, what's a Korrika? )

No, I didn't die and didn't fell off the face of the earth either, don't worry! xDD

I've been really busy lately cause I started a course a few weeks ago and have had no time for anything else.

But here I am with a new song! Sorry for the delay :( My intention was to bring you all a new song at least once a week, but I wasn't able to do so. I don't ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I last posted a song (or just 'posted', acutally...), so I decided to show you a new one.

The ones I posted befre were qite old, music I listened to maybe 15 years ago. Today I bring you a 'new' song. The title of this song is ilargia / Luna / Moon and was released in 2003 by a group called Ken Zazpi (which means 'minus seven ( Read more... )

We're having incredibly good weather for the time of the year (it's 21:00 and it's still 15ºC outside!), so my mood has changed accordingly lately ;)

Today's song is dedicated to drbillbongo. He already read part of the lyrics without knowing what it was all about. He's a smarthead, though, and he knows what the main word (and title of the song in this case) means, so he probably figured it out :D

We do have a song in Euskera to sing on birthdays, the one with the typical tune of the Happy Birthday song ( ( Read more... )

Here I am with another song. The name of the song is Euskal Herrian euskaraz - En el País Vasco en euskera - In the Basque Country in Basque

The name of the group singing it is Oskorri (that would be 'red sky' or 'twilight' in basque :P). This group has done something incredible. They've been singing popular/traditional songs in basque for more ( Read more... )

One more song to add to my/your collection of Basque songs. This one is also from my childhood. Don't know how many times I listened to this song on a cassette with my walkman :D

The name of the song is Bizitzarekin dantzan - Bailando con la vida - Dancing with live
