Tarta Relena
»És pregunta« – Fokus Catalunya
Duo mit Superkraft
Uralte Musiktraditionen sind verstaubt und aus der Zeit gefallen? Das katalanische Vokalduo Tarta Relena beweist das Gegenteil: Ausgehend von ihrer spanischen Heimat durchforsten die beiden jungen Frauen den gesamten Mittelmeerraum von Südfrankreich über Italien bis nach Nordafrika nach Liedern, denen sie mit unglaublicher Kreativität Synthie-Klänge und Beats zu ihren unterschiedlichen und doch ineinander verschlungenen Stimmen verpassen. Dieser Mix sorgt weltweit für Begeisterung, ob auf großen Festivals oder beim legendären »NPR Tiny Desk Concert«.
Helena Ros Redon und Marta Torrella i Martínez finden Inspiration in Archiven genauso wie auf YouTube. »Es wird immer eine besondere Musik geben, die darauf wartet, unvoreingenommen entdeckt zu werden. Wir lieben es, dieses Rätsel vor uns zu haben, es zu entschlüsseln und dann aufzuführen. Es ist, als hätte man eine Superkraft.« Von dieser Superkraft lebt auch ihr aktuelles Album »És pregunta«, auf dem sie nicht nur auf Spanisch und Katalanisch, sondern auch (Alt)griechisch, Latein, der jüdischen Sprache Ladino, Italienisch und mehr singen.
Kennengelernt haben sich die beiden Sängerinnen schon zu Schulzeiten im Chor. Es folgten unterschiedliche Gesangsausbildungen – während derer sie sich permanent austauschten, um beide mehr zu lernen. Mit Leichtigkeit mischen sich klassischen, Jazz- und Flamencogesang und lassen Zeiten, Orte und Stile zu einem neuen Ganzen verschmelzen – sie selbst nennen ihr Konzeptalbum »eine Schicksalsreise durch Spannungen zwischen menschlichen und natürlichen Kräften, Logik und Mythos.«
