Take, for example, the band Oreka Tx. Every performance put on by this Spanish/Basque duo requires precise cooperation due to the group’s chosen instrument: the txalaparta, a vibraphone-like instrument that can only be played by two musicians. The group’s latest CD, Nomadak Tx, is a set of collaborative recordings featuring musicians from India, Lapland, Mongolia and North Africa. The members of Oreka Tx have toured the world since 2004, documenting encounters such as playing an Arctic musical instrument made entirely of ice. 09/17/10
