 The Txalaparta is an old traditional uniquely Basque percussion instrument Two txalapartaris will be performing and conducting a workshop at the Cobblestone on Sunday and playing at the Alternative G8 Concert at Club na Múinteoirí on Monday. A rare opportunity to hear this instrument and to even try it out under expert instruction. The txalaparta is made from wooden boards placed on trestles. Originally, the boards were used to press apples and make cider. When the first batch was fermented, the boards, then dried off, were struck with sticks and the sound traveled across mountains and down into the valleys, summoning people to drink. In time, people could even tell which cider-maker was calling by the rhythms. |
