Cançoner tradicional popular del País Basc per a ukelele

This book brings together a repertoire of 25 traditional folk songs from the Basque Country, specially adapted for the ukulele. The project was born from a wish to bring traditional Basque music closer to children, young people and adults through an accessible, versatile instrument that is widely used in education.

The Basque songbook for ukulele offers a careful selection of melodies that are part of the folk music heritage of Euskal Herria. The adaptations respect the essence of the original songs while making them easier to play and sing, whether at school, at home or in the community.

The book is designed as a teaching resource for schools and music schools, cultural projects and traditional music workshops. The songs make it possible to work on rhythm, basic harmony and vocal accompaniment, encouraging group music-making and singing together.

Thanks to the simplicity of the ukulele, this repertoire is especially suitable for people who are just starting to play an instrument, as well as for teachers looking for accessible materials to bring traditional music into the classroom. Working with folk songs also helps strengthen cultural knowledge, collective memory and respect for musical heritage.

This Basque songbook for ukulele is part of the catalogue of CapaPublisher, a publisher committed to creating high-quality music materials focused on education, passing on culture and the joy of making music together. The book invites you to discover and experience traditional Basque music as something living, participatory and meaningful.
