Summary
Jançu Janto is an anonymous composition copied in the Cancionero Musical de Palacio (Musical Palace Song-book - circa 1500), that is quite unclassifiable in its form and incomprehensible because of the mixture of Basque and Castilian Spanish it contains. Following slight clues and after comparing it with other works, the author outlines the hypothesis that this is the polyphonic (and grotesque) version of a "zaloma", a song of sailors at work.Sing up and download the publications of Eusko Ikaskuntza
