Weepiper Hello,

Glad to hear from another Oskorri fan.

Nafarroa is on the CD 25 Kantu Urte. Elkar Label. Cat. No. KD 453/4.

The track is also included on the Folk Roots Freebie FROOTS 9.

I'm still trying to get hold of the lyrics but as far as I can make out Martin Carthy sings a bit in English. The rest is in the Basque language.(Nafarroa=Navarra=Navarre)

I think it is a beautiful song and the instrumentation exquisite. But I would expect nothing else from Oskorri.I hope you manage to get the CD and if you can find the words, I'd be delighted to have a copy.

All the best,

Michael.
