Oreka TX -A pair of Intrepid musicians who call themselves Oreka TX (the Basque word for balance and TX the initial letters of their chosen medium) took their txalaparta, a locally beloved but little known instrument, and traveled to India, Lapland, Mongolia and the Sahara in search of fresh collaborations, adventures and ideas, the result was an astounding documentary called Nomnadak TX (Nomadic Txalaparta). The soundtrack to the documentary is now available from World Village, featuring newly arranged material showcasing the Txalaparta, Although nearly extinct as recently as the 1950's, it is inextricably tied to Basque culture is now enjoying a renaissance. Struck from above by two players, acting at once in tandem and independently of one another, but always eerily in sync, the players create complex, lightning face, changeable rhythmic and melodic patterns, moving between the tenor range and bass notes so profound that they pummel the listeners solar plexus.
