Tapia eta Leturia have created a new quartet formation next to the violinist Arkaitz Miner and pianist Txus Aranburu. The presence of a violin shouldn’t be seen as a modern eccentricity. The old prints, stories and the opinion of the folklorist seem to demonstrate that the violin (arrabita) was one of the instruments used in the music played for the traditional dances of the Basque Country. Now days, Tapia eta Leturia find themselves playing in this new quartet formation which consist of a great harmonious richness with the inclusion of a violin and a piano without losing one pinch of their sense of entertainment, rhythm of the heart of the music from the Basque Country: the trikitixa.
