AUDIO CLIPS COMING SOON
This mini songbook is an effort to
promote the Basque language, song & mus. Tentatively entitled
Hi Kantari ("You're a Basque Singer") the booklet is a

people to join along in song) and MUS (the middle pages will have the
vocabulary of the game in Basque).
CONTENTS. The pocket-size booklet is set to
be completed by Spring 2008 to allow time for input. It will consist of
approximately 50 songs, each with a brief English introduction.

DISTRIBUTION
The initial plan is to make these available to all NABO member
organizations along the same lines as our annual calendar. Each
booklet will cost $1 and each community purchases however many it
believes it needs.
PROMOTION
The hope is that each community will take an active interest in
promoting the song booklet and organizing events to encourage more
singing.
