Tarta Relena

Catalan folk duo Tarta Relena make their New York premiere at National Sawdust, performing work from the award-winning 2019 album Ora Pro Nobis. Started in 2016 as an acapella project between Helena Ros and Marta Torrella, Tarta Relena’s electronic-accented folk reimagines the traditional music of the Mediterranean as a growing form unbound by precedent. Together Ros and Torrella trace vocal styles across time and borders, revealing the universal nature of pain and joy and unearthing the ties that exist between different cultures. Join National Sawdust, World Music Institute, and Tarta Relena for an evening celebrating the timelessness of folk and its ability to resonate with us for centuries to come.
