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.

—Donna N. Douglass (20th century)
“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.”
