Completely unpolitical music question.


I watched this film a couple of years ago, and I've never forgotten the song that was at the beginning - I'm partially-hearing so though I could hear (and really liked) the song, I couldn't tell whether it was Basque or Spanish - but from an article I read, I think it may have had something to do with a bird.

Either way, I was wondering if anyone knew what the name of the song was, and who sang it. I tried searching on the net with the titles of the songs in the credits, but I couldn't find it.

You must be talking about the song "Txori Txoria" from the Basque Songwriter Mikel Laboa... I hope this will help you and good luck trying to get this tune!

Thanks a lot for that! From what you told me, I found the song easily enough, but (and I'm probably getting a bit fussy here) I think I'd prefer the version on the film to Mikel Laboa's versions. You don't happen to remember the name of the woman singer in the film, by any chance?

It is a version of Mikel Laboa´s song from a basque chorus group called "Orfeon Donostiarra"
