Since 2004 Oreka Tx’s two “txalapartaris” (txalaparta players) have travelled a great deal with their instrument – a focus for exchange and dialogue. They have met nomadic people and musicians from the Sahara, Lapland, India, and Mongolia. As a result of these travels, they have compiled bewitching visual and musical material with a clear objective: sharing this music, these sounds, these images, these experiences.
The result is a documentary called “Nömadak Tx”, which has received awards at the most important festivals all over the world. Oreka Tx has also created a singular multimedia show : the musicians are present on stage and on screen at the same time, and these images and sounds from around the world act as backing to the live music!
Txalaparta what is it ?
The txalaparta is a percussion instrument made of wooden beams and played by two people who strike out the rhythm alternately. It is unique in the world, in its shape and in the way it is played, and is closely linked to the Basque cultural identity.
