Haratago
The group’s leader, singer and percussionist Julen Achiary sets the songs of his ancestors—the mountain shepherds of the Basque Country—in the soundscape of duduk, hurdy-gurdy and viola da gamba, taking inspiration from his encounters with Turkish and Azerbaijani musicians. Haratago experiment, rediscover the power of the modal melodies of the Basa Ahaide. These „songs of the wild world” of the Basque shepherds of Soule, performed solo and a cappella, are genuine treasures, arranged by the quartet’s musicians looking to the East and the Caucasus for inspiration.
