These Basque txalapartaris had a dream: they trhought up a project that was to mark a turning point in the history of this unique musical percussion instrument. A project based on their understanding that the Txalaparta is a point of encounter, a means of communicating with others. They have travelled the world, using the Txalaparta as their vehicle and home, meeting musicians and discovering the reality of far away peoples, from Mongolia to Sahara, from Lapland to India.They have met with musicians and realities of remote countries, from Mongolia to the Sahara, from Lapland to India and have fused their music with the nomadic peoples of those lands. They crossed deserts of ice and sand, rode the mountains of Mongolia on horseback, crossed the west of India by train…
They have done whole journey to go in search of sound. When they have discovered it, they have found other countries and other people, all with the same acclaim: We are here, we are alive, we are.”
