Basque Fiddling at Fiddle Tunes 2010 Part 3

Some video I shot at Wheeler Theatre....Enjoy.... Joseba Tapia is one of the world's leading diatonic accordion players who performs traditional Basque dance music from Spain, known as Trikitixa. The rhythms of its key instruments -- accordion and tambourine -- are identifiable as the music of the Basque country and language. For many years Tapia, who was self taught, formed one half of the Basque accordion and tambourine duo known as Tapia ta Leturia. The duo focused mainly on folk, dance and popular procession music, and created a new school with an endless list of followers. For Fiddle Tunes this summer, Tapia is bringing his favorite fiddler, Arkaitz Miner, as well as longtime musical partner on percussions, Javier Berasaluce Leturia. Some really nice fiddling by Arkaitz.....I really enjoyed his playing....and his sparkling personality! Thanks you guys!
