Wonderful visuals, great music and experiences in intriguing places around the globe all contribute to this exciting journey. It starts when two musicians carve a Txalaparta out of wood. This traditional Basque instrument is played by two people at the same time, and the music arises from their encounter. It does not belong to either one of them, but originates from their perfect dialogue. In search of new authentic sounds, the musicians travel to different parts of the world: they head to India to visit Mumbai and its passionate artists, spend time in the ancient village of Adivasi, go to a Sami community and perform with some great singers in Africa. In the Arctic Circle, they play on ice and wood and chant various traditional songs. Each encounter results in unique music, and each is a surprising and exhilarating experience.
