Tarta

Relena

The Catalan vocal duo of Marta Torrella and Helena Ros craft a world where tradition meets transformation – where echoes of the past are reshaped through fearless experimentation. Rooted in the rich musical heritage of the Mediterranean, their repertoire spans from ancient folk melodies to original compositions, weaving a sonic tapestry that is both reverent and radical.

Since their formation in 2016, the duo has sought to dissolve the boundaries between the sacred and the profane, between the rawness of the human voice and the infinite possibilities of sound manipulation. At the heart of their identity lies an adventurous spirit, melding contrasting vocal timbres with synthetic textures, electronic samples, and an ever-curious approach to polyphony.

Their performances are studies in contrast and cohesion—stripped-down yet expansive, delicate yet powerful. With a deep respect for the past and an insatiable hunger for new forms, Tarta Relena transform minimal elements into maximal expression, proving that within the human voice lies an entire universe of sound.
