The amazing Basque txalaparta-playing duo Oreka TX will be swinging through North America this September. The txalaparta (CHOLL-uh-PART-uh) is wooden planks laid over trestles and struck with sticks held vertically, and it requires two performers in perfect sync to play properly. This is an opportunity to see an exceptionally rare instrument played by masters. Stops include 9/17 and 9/18, in Bloomington, IN, at the Lotus World Music & Arts Festival; 09/19 at Montgomery College in Takoma Park, MD; 09/22/2010 at the Cedar Cultural Center in Minneapolis, MN; 09/23 at San Fran’s Basque Cultural Center; Chino Basque House in Chino, CA on 9/24; on 9/25 Globalquerque in Albuquerque, NM; and two final stops in Chicago at the Cervantes Institute and the Chicago Cultural Center for the Chicago World Music Festival on the 29th and 30th.
