We found this on the blog Balade du Pays Basque, which in turn is citing information found on the public French station France Bleu, and we couldn’t help but share it ourselves.

Galder Segurola, from Bilbao, has created an app for Android and iOS that puts over 500 traditional Basque songs on your mobile, with the lyrics and a video so that we have a reference and can know how to sing the song without making too many mistakes.

We thought the idea was great, and the execution excellent.  So, we’re telling all of you here who want to have a Basque song collection in your pocket to go download it.  That way, you’ll always have the lyrics to the most popular Basque songs on hand, without worrying about mondegreens.

And of course, it can be downloaded from anywhere in the world.  So, this is a great tool for the Basque diaspora!

Galder Segurola, zorionak eta eskerrik asko!

We’ll leave you with the references to this information that helped us find out about this project, and the developer’s website so you can download the app.

“Kantari”, une appli pour chanter en basque

“Galder Segurola, un jeune bilboar, a créé une application pour retrouver les paroles des chansons en basque. “Agure zaharra”, “Xalbadorren heriotzean” ou encore “Euskal Herrian euskaraz”, au total près de 500 chansons sont disponibles. Vous avez toujours voulu chanter “Hegoak” avec tous les supporters de Jean Dauger ou d’Aguilera, ou encore “Eperrak” aux fêtes de Bayonne mais sans jamais oser ne sachant pas les paroles ! Plus d’excuse avec l’application Kantari sur votre téléphone portable.
