Synopsis

Spanish with English subtitles

The music does the talking in Nomadak TX, an exhilarating, feverishly globe-hopping documentary that follows Basque musical duo Oreka Tx as they seek out fellow artists in far-flung nomadic societies. They are masters of the txalapatra, an ancient percussion instrument they are seen hewing out of wood in the film’s opening moments. They ravel to remote regions of the world, using the txalaparta, as a medium for cross-cultural exchange. Traveling to the north of India, the Mongolian Steppes, the Sahara desert and Lapland, the film captures an exciting, organic musical conversation between cultures.

Co–directed by Harkaitz Martínez de San Vicente and Igor Otxoa.In the Basque, Spanish, Gujerati, Hindi, Tsaatan, Bereber, French, Saharaui, Suomi, English, Mongol languages with English subtitles.
