I have reserved a spot on the upcoming cod cd for a Basque song, about cod fishing or related cod issues...a traditional song would be great. A happy traditional song would be wonderful..I have to not depress everyone with fish all gone songs, although there will be plenty.

I've heard quite a few Basque choral whaling songs (there is a Folkways LP of them, I think) but not codfishing.

What resources have you already tried?

Can't help sorry but thanks for the reminder of a great sing in the big upstairs cafe room at St.Chartier.
There were maybe three dozen of us assorted Brits and others and the other half of the restaurant filled with a Basque choir. After the meal one of us sang a song. The choir sang one. So it went on, each only guessing at the other's song. A lifetime memorable experience.

You could email ERESBIL (Basque music archives) [e-mail] and ask them if they have anything.
