Gaztelugatxe (Oskorri)



Culture Corner... northern Spain!
Gaztelugatxe is an islet on the
coast of Biscay belonging to the municipality of Bermeo, Basque
Country. It is connected to the mainland by a man-made bridge.

As
a sidenote, to me the harmonies and rhythms are reminiscent of South
African music (with a little bit of French and Irish thrown in) - not all that surprising considering all 'folk' music in one way or another relates to all cultures.
