Oldarra

Oldarra is a male choir based in Biarritz, France. Evolving from the Groupe Olaeta ensemble established in 1945, the group formally registered as an association in 1946 and transitioned into an all-male choir in 1963. Under successive musical directors including Philippe Oyhamburu, René Sarramaigna, José de Etxabe, and Juan Eraso, the choir developed a repertoire centered on traditional Basque polyphony and sacred music. Their recorded releases include Les ballets Basques de Biarritz Oldarra (1958), Zure egarriz – Prière du matin et du soir (1987), and Le Chant basque.
