OSKORRI
Oskorri & The Pub Ibiltaria 1

Elkar ELK KD-469-470 (1997)
 
One disc of this double is a live recording with vocals and audience sing-along, the other has studio-recorded instrumental versions of the same 17 traditional songs to sing or play along with. The aim is not simply to teach the songs, but to help with Euskara-language learning. The booklet gives 3-language texts and scores. Given the popularity of Oskorri, it just might work.
