Formed in 2016, BarcelonaŹ¼s Tarta Relena reimagines Mediterranean vocal traditions with fearless experimentation, blending sacred and profane, ancient and modern.
Their contrasting timbres intertwine with electronic textures, creating complexity from simplicity and maximum expression from minimal means. We heard them at GlobalFest at Lincoln Center in 2024 and knew we had to bring them to Lexington.
