Oreka TX. JendARTEA PAISANAJE

PAISANAJE - JendARTEA, by Oreka TX with the participation of Thierry Biscary, is a sensitive journey that maps the ancestral sounds that emanate from popular music and are reconverted and transformed into a contemporary and multimedia language, a digital cartography of space and time that goes from the local to the global.

Oreka TX has created this new show after being inspired by the spaces, collections and activities of the Museum and has captured with it the essence of the project: a creative journey in which the local and the global, the past and the future, dialogue.

General admission: 12 and 8€.

THE SHOW

The proposal is a creation of Oreka TX with the participation of singer Thierry Biscary. The musical creation is based on the txalaparta and is rooted in the landscape and its people, becoming a sonorous and visual journey through our geography and the people who inhabit it. Tuned stones that build melodies, cowbells that become music and transport us to the paths of transhumance, woods and bamboos that make us walk through the woods and projections that interact and integrate with the musicians on stage.

Through a screen we will connect with the voices of the people, with the world, with its people and the landscapes they inhabit. A Video DJ transports us to the global Internet and brings us closer to the deepest part of the Basque territory, to its people, its voices, its trades and its stories. The screen is a window that interacts with the scene, a dialogue between formats that jumps from the global to the local and transports us to the depths of our cartography.

The musical repertoire combines different materials such as wood, stone and iron, with native instruments such as the alboka or the ttun ttun and more classical instruments such as the bamboo clarinet, saxophone, bouzouki and various percussion instruments.

OREKA TX

The txalaparta sound of OREKA TX has been traveling the world since 1997 when the group joined Kepa Junkera's band. Since then they have shared the stage with countless artists such as Carlos Núñez, La Bottine Souriante, Aziza Brahim, Taraf de Haidouks, Dulce Pontes, Phil Cunningham, Manu Dibango, Pat Metheny among others and have also experimented with other disciplines such as dance, poetry, cinema and plastic arts.

In 2006 the group developed its first major project Nömadak TX, which includes a multi-awarded documentary film, an album and two live shows: the Nömadak Tent and Nömadak Tx en Directo, a show with which they have visited the most important World Music festivals and with which they have toured half the world. Oreka TX stands out for its versatility and entrepreneurial spirit. In recent years they have developed several shows such as Hostoak , which fuses song, music and dance, or Herritmo , which provides an artistic vision of Basque rural sports.

His latest work, Silex, compiles part of the repertoire created in recent years and focuses on the sonority of the stone txalaparta. It features collaborations with the trio Kalakan, Alos Quartet and We are Standard and has received the award for best album in Basque by the Unión Fonográfica Independiente.

THIERRY BISCARY

Originally from Anhaux in Lower Navarre, he has sung all styles of music in groups such as Kalakan, Bost gehio, Bolbora, Txitxab, Hegalka, Punpeka, Triki traka, Kokin. With this last group, he works the verbena sung a cappella and begins a deep work on voice and body percussions. In 2002, he joined the musical company Lagunarte with which he performed in schools in the Basque Country, directed by Kristof Hiriart.

His various works give him the opportunity to go back to the starting point: traditional music, which is neither static, nor placed in a museum, but living culture, and mono or polyphonic singing. In addition to the "dantza piko" (interactive dances) that he animates with the group Saltoka, he prepares his own compositions, with the help of his teachers from the Maurice Ravel Conservatory of Music in Baiona (Beñat Achiary, Amandine Bousquet and Peio Cabalette). He has been part of the group KALAKAN, which stands out for its participation in 2014 in Madonna's world tour and regular collaborations with the Labeque sisters.
