THE KHOURY ENSEMBLE
MEDIEVAL MANOS HOUSE, KOUKLIA
The Khoury brothers became famous for composing and performing original works of contemporary music of the East. Their work is a musical exploration, especially of the Middle East, which comes in contact with elements of modern music. The three artists have surpassed the limits and possibilities of their instruments and are considered top musicians of their generation. They combine the oud, flute, qanun and violin with forms and traditions such as flamenco, Celtic and Indian tradition and even jazz. They cooperate with great musicians, such as Enrique Morente, Roberto Alagna and many more. They have appeared in Europe, the Arab world, Africa and in many other countries giving live performances that have been described as “nothing less than musical events par excellence”.

OREKA TX
MEDIEVAL MANOS HOUSE, KOUKLIA
This extremely dynamic ensemble of Basque musicians, whom we met at the ‘Roots’ dance performance last June, returns to showcase the Txalaparta not only as a music instrument but also as a linking factor uniting the musicians with the audience. Oreka TX use improvisation and explore the potential of this instrument in music, rhythms and forms that go beyond the strictly local Basque tradition. The group was created in 2001 and its main members are Harkaitz Martinez de San Vicente and Mikel Ugarte. In their 15 years of work, Oreka TX have worked with important musicians and bands from all over the world and have won various awards, such as the Latin Grammy Award.
