Ritmu - Tarta Relena (Spain) És pregunta

Tarta Relena was born in 2016 as a project by two singers dedicated to exploring the diverse sounds of a cappella vocal music. Their unique repertoire spans from orally transmitted traditional melodies to original compositions inspired by the Mediterranean, and they perform in Catalan, Spanish, Greek, Latin, English, and Ladino.

In their performances, Tarta Relena blur the boundaries between the sacred and the profane. Experimentation lies at the heart of their identity; they fuse a wide range of vocal techniques with synthetic sounds and electronic samples to craft arrangements that blend contrasting timbres. Always striving for "complexity in simplicity" and maximum expression with minimal elements, their approach creates a striking balance between innovation and tradition. The duo’s vocal textures are distinct yet interwoven—flowing like water one moment and cutting through in sharp dissonance the next, before eventually reuniting in harmonious expression. This dynamic interplay captures the essence of their creative vision.
