“The Catalan folk duo makes music full of unnameable longing and buzzing with portent.” —Pitchfork

Tarta Relena is an innovative vocal duo born in 2016, dedicated to exploring the rich tapestry of a cappella music with roots stretching across the Mediterranean. With a unique repertoire that spans from traditional oral music to original compositions, Tarta Relena weaves the distinct timbres of two voices into a complex yet simple harmony.

Their latest album delves into the realm of tragic thought, narrating tales of characters ensnared by fate's inexorable pull. Tarta Relena captures the tension and enigma of the unknown through a musical and lyrical exploration, inviting listeners into a world where traditional boundaries are transcended.
