Tarta Relena: Tiny Desk x globalFEST

- In 2021, the Tiny Desk x globalFEST series was created to promote international music discovery. For the last three years, artists from around the globe have performed Tiny Desk (home) concerts from their respective countries, but for the first time this year, artists performed at the Tiny Desk at NPR's headquarters.

The first impression I get from watching the Spanish duo Tarta Relena at the Tiny Desk is a reminder that the human voice may be mankind's oldest musical instrument.
Even more so when you consider that the five languages they sing here includes not just Spanish, Greek and their native Catalan, but also Latin and classical Greek, evoking images of lyricists and vocalists from centuries past.
Starting initially as an a capella project in 2016, vocalists Helena Ros and Marta Torella eventually added ambient-styled electronics to cushion their uncommonly matched voices. The duo's first number, "Me Yelassan," is in Greek, so be sure to activate the translation option on the video to fully appreciate the power of the performance with lyrics read almost like a Zen koan meditation on rebirth and eternity.
Stay tuned in to those translations, because the magic of this performance is in losing yourself in the harmonies and timeless poetic lyrics. In fact, the lyrics of the song "Safo" are taken from a poem written by the ancient Greek poet Sappho, and includes the prophetic line: "Someone will remember us, I say even in another time." How often do we get a chance to consider our place in history set to such stunning vocals?

The first song SLAPs soooo hard. I was ready to risk it all, then I came to my senses.
I've been working with Tarta Relena for about 2-3 years and they are the loveliest. Their live show is like no others and I feel fortunate to be working with them.
please come do a concert at LA CELLERA DE TER you're music is very beautiful thank you
Your
També podrien passar per Ultramort.. Ara els hi pregunto.

RERE! Tots cap a Banyoles!
Never heard of them before, thank you Tiny Desk for bringing these two amazing women, this has to be one of the coolest music gig I've ever listened to
this makes me feel ready to conquer any army in front of this mortal soul
That kind of a capella singing is not easy to do. Takes a lot of control and focus to pull it off. Well done ladies! Beautiful
Tarta Relena are one of the most brilliant gems hidden in the Spanish / Catalan underground and now you are lucky enough to get to know them. 🖤
Acapella
Drone. Bass.
Harmony.
Really different.
This is really difficult to do.
Thank you.
❤❤❤
Thank you.
Thank you so much NPR for sharing a bit of Catalan music with the world!!
Sou increibles! No sabeu com em transportes les vostres veus. Em sonen a mar i a oliveres i també a vinyes vora el mar. Vaixells de la mediterrània creuant d'orient a occident recollint cants i històries antigues i llunyanes.
When I close my eyes, I hear more than two singers.❤
When I close my ears, I see two singers.
Wow, this is huge, I've just recently discovered Tarta Relena, for their song with El Pony Pisador, and I cannot stop listening to them, ever since. This live show is simply perfect, both Marta and Helena have an astonishing ability and behind this performance there are thousand of hours of reharsal, to achieve this level of perfection. Wow!!!!
you can feel that these two souls are connected.
Such a mezmerizing spell these two enchantresses weave .
Hauntingly BEAUTIFUL.
Very well put, thank you ❤
I'm speechless! Me Yelassan/Με γέλασαν: They just laughed at me/They tricked me. All songs are beautiful! Congratulations, Big hugs from Greece!
I'm so glad that this kind of spaces allow such great and innovative acts to get more visibility, specially with Tarta Relena because of their experimental approach to music and how this format let them show how their creative process develops.
Quin orgull, enhorabona! Us ho mereixeu tot.
beautiful vase playing
Literalment he plorat d’emoció amb la cançó de la Safo, l’arranjament amb el gerro i els canvis de personatge és preciós 😭❤️🩹
Estas chicas son el mayor talento que ha salido de España en las últimas décadas. Tremendamente infravaloradas. Ojalá este Tiny Desk les dé el crecimiento que merecen. Es un lujo escucharlas.
Són més catalanes que el cony de la Moreneta.
España no. CATALUNYA
@@annaaymarmarcabru7655 Son catalanas y, por tanto, españolas. ¿Cuál es el problema y por qué cada vez que cualquier catalán hace algo, aparecéis los de siempre a ensuciar las alabanzas que reciben, recalcando que son de "CATALUNYA" como si no fuese parte de España? Generáis rechazo a todo el mundo sin motivo alguno y no le hacéis ningún favor a Tarta Relena. Y tú, al menos, no insultas pero el de arriba, en un alarde de estulticia supina, sí. Y lamentablemente así son la mayoría. Es una vergüenza y lo que termináis consiguiendo es que el grupo al que pretendéis defender o usar para vuestras proclamas políticas, termine perdiendo muchísimo apoyo tanto nacional como internacional al ser visto y utilizado como propaganda política, consiguiendo que menos personas se interesen por su música y el gran talento que tienen no reciba todo el soporte que merece, tanto a nivel económico como social.
I love the hemiolic rhythms in compound time, the interesting harmonic modes, the energy, it’s all amazing. I’d love to hear more
Oh my god I was not expecting them to do a tiny desk. This is amazing!
Wow. What amazing timbre matching, unison, harmonies, etc. Incredible!
El caganer ❤️
