Haratago (meaning “beyond” in Basque) reveals all of the strength of the Basa Ahaide, the name given to the vocal expression of mountain shepherds in the Basque Country that is traditionally sung solo and a capella. Drawing inspiration from his encounters with Turkish and Azerbaijani musicians, Julen Achiary now revisits this ancestral repertoire in a quartet with an unprecedented line-up: Nicolas Nageotte on the clarinet and duduk, Bastien Fontanille on the hurdy-gurdy and banjo, and Jordi Cassagne on the violone (aka the bass viola da gamba).
These orally-transmitted ancestral songs convey the shepherd’s emotions with regard to nature and his life in the high mountain summer pastures. From his early childhood, Julen Achiary has listened, heard… then sang these songs, firstly for his own enjoyment before he began looking for an appropriate way in which he could share these songs with an audience.
“I wanted to share these precious modal melodies that are so well hidden within our valleys. The only snag being that it just wouldn’t have made any sense to sing them on my own, during a concert, in front of an audience. I spent years searching and forging the way that best suited me: there have been many encounters, many travels, many trials and experiments. Haratago is the result of this long quest, these years of research and it is an ensemble through which we continue to search, explore, invent and create. It is indeed a creation as this living tradition is in perpetual movement, so much so that it needs invention to keep on living, and we tackle this challenge with both modesty and joy, firmly rooted not only in our ancestral culture but also in our contemporary approach.” (J. Achiary)
