content: Kalakan and Gatibu Join us for a night of contemporary Basque music. Hailing from northern Basque country, Kalakan is a trio reinterpreting traditional music and other international rhythms using Basque txalaparta (xylophone-like instrument made from leftover cider-making parts), pandereta (tambourine), atabal (kettledrum), and more. In 2012, they took to the world stage by accompanying Madonna on her MDNA tour. Gatibu comes from Gernika (Bizkaia), bringing with them a wide range of rock and pop music in the Basque language. Led by singer Alex Sardui, the four-piece band has toured around Basque country and Europe since their inception in 2002.
