Oreka TX - From East to West

Friday 29 September 2017
Medieval Manor House, Kouklia 20:30

This extremely dynamic ensemble of Basque musicians, whom we met at the ‘Roots’ dance performance last June, returns to showcase the Txalaparta not only as a music instrument but also as a linking factor uniting the musicians with the audience. Oreka TX use improvisation and explore the potential of this instrument in music, rhythms and forms that go beyond the strictly local Basque tradition. The group was created in 2001 and its main members are Harkaitz Martinez de San Vicente and Mikel Ugarte. In their 15 years of work, Oreka TX have worked with important musicians and bands from all over the world and have won various awards, such as the Latin Grammy Award.
A collaboration of the European Capitals of Culture Pafos2017 and Donostia 2016.
Within “The Travelling Stage” programme.
