Sounds from Spain
Kalakan is a three-man band that plays traditional Basque music. Singing in Euskara (the Basque language), they accompany themselves on a mix of percussion instruments including the txalaparta, danborrak, pandereta and ttun ttun. And then there’s their connection to pop superstar Madonna…
Also in the programme, flamenco-flavoured compositions from Spanish guitarist Jose Luis Monton
