Traditional Music
Basque traditional music is a product of the region's historic development and its geographical location between the Cantabrian mountain range, the Ebro river and the Pyrenees. Because this area is open to the wider world, for example through international pilgrimage on the Way of St James, many feel that it should not be considered as having evolved in isolation.

Famous quotes containing the words traditional and/or music:
“The very natural tendency to use terms derived from traditional grammar like verb, noun, adjective, passive voice, in describing languages outside of Indo-European is fraught with grave possibilities of misunderstanding.”

“From where Pan’s cavern is
Intolerable music falls.
Foul goat-head, brutal arm appear,
Belly, shoulder, bum,
Flash fishlike; nymphs and satyrs
Copulate in the foam.”
