Etnika - Music in Malta: From Prehistory to Vinyl

The Music In Malta programme presents Maltese band Etnika, one of Malta's leading modern folk bands, who launched the project with a performance at Teatru Manoel. Experimenting with the lyrics from the 1930´s recordings, traditional għana songs, folk rhymes and popular tunes, the band use some of the remaining local instruments and techniques creating “some of the most interesting and challenging music you are likely to hear”- Jim Foley (rootsworld.com). Tambur, żummara, bijambo, żafżafa and flejguta, as well as the effected guitars, retro-futuristic synths, unconventional percussion and footwork, deep, groovy bass, raspy sax and haunting whispery vocals.
This performance was supported by Valletta 2018 - European Capital of Culture
