Tradition


Arts & Music

Basques has a long music tradition and an annual choir contest will be held in Tolosa. 

Traditional musical instruments which includes the txistu, tambourine, drums and the txalaparta.
Goldsmithing is rich in history in the Basque Country. Traditional wool and linen spinning and weaving techniques are still employed to make fabrics for clothing and draperies, which can be trimmed with cross-stitch needlework. Leatherwork naturally evolved with farming traditions for shoes, coats, clothes and wine-skins.
