THIERRY BISCARY

 

Originally from Anhaux in Lower Navarre, he has sung all styles of music in groups such as Kalakan, Bost gehio, Bolbora, Txitxab, Hegalka, Punpeka, Triki traka, and Kokin. With the latter group, he worked on a cappella singing and began an in-depth study of the voice and body percussion. In 2002, he joined the musical company Lagunarte, with which he performs in schools in the Basque Country, directed by Kristof Hiriart.

His various projects give him the opportunity to return to his starting point: traditional music, which is neither static nor confined to a museum, but rather a living culture, and monophonic or polyphonic singing. In addition to the "dantza piko" (interactive dances) that he leads with the Saltoka group, he prepares his own compositions, assisted by his teachers at the Maurice Ravel Conservatory of Music in Bayonne (Beñat Achiary, Amandine Bousquet, and Peio Cabalette). He has been a member of the group KALAKAN, which is notable for its participation in Madonna's 2014 world tour and its regular collaborations with the Labeque sisters.
