Txalaparta performance “Ingrained” by @genekoshinski @queypercussionduo The txalaparta is a traditional percussion instrument from the Basque region, celebrated both as a musical medium and as an ancient form of dialogue. Traditionally crafted from long wooden planks—once chestnut or oak, though now also built from other materials—the instrument rests on supports. Two players, known as txalapartariak, strike the boards with wooden mallets (makilak), weaving a percussive back-and-forth that resem

Dimanche 7 avril à 12h55 dans Cap Sud Ouest, venez écouter le cœur battant du Pays Basque ! La Txalaparta est un instrument aussi emblématique que mystérieux. On ignore exactement son origine mais une chose est sûre, cet instrument de percussion est intimement lié à la vie rurale, au travail des champs, à l'élevage. On croit parfois entendre l'écho du galop des pottoks. Paxkal Indo fait partie de ces musiciens qui ont sorti la Txalparta de l'oubli. L' écouter jouer en compagnie de Paxkalin Chaba
