Tjak - Viajando 2008

The Tjak project was born from the meeting of Gabriel Gomes, Pedro Sotiry and Victor Bandeira. Since the 60's Victor, an ethnologist, had travelled through Africa, South America, South-East of Asia and New Guinea where he gathered ethnologic objects from cultures known as "primitives" which, today are displayed at the Museum of Etnology in Lisbon, Portugal.
Among all that objects, statues and other artfacts, Victot also recorded songs and dances from different ethnic groups, and these are the same tape recordings that are used as motivation ands inspiration for the music performed by Tjak. It's a new encounter betewen the culture of the "other" and our's. An interesting work. Don't miss it.
