'Tosta' Festival Village Festival Club
'Oreka Tx' is the Basque duo who specialise in playing the Txallaparta, a series of tuned wooden blocks hit with sticks by two players working together. Harkaitz Mtnez. de San Vicente (San Sebastian – Donostia, 1975) and Igor Otxoa (San Sebastian – Donostia, 1973) have played the txalaparta since 1997, when Oreka Tx was born. That same year, they joined a band led by the noted basque composer, musician, and master of the trikitixa (diatonic accordion) Kepa Junkera, a collaboration that garnered them a Latin Grammy. Oreka TX, accompanied by musicians gathered together for the occasion, invites us to go on an unusual musical journey. The richness of the sound and the variety of instruments provides the Txalaparta with an unusual yet welcoming environment, an environment in which the Txalaparta can evolve towards new horizons.Date: 05/07/16
