The four musicians that make up Badaia, Caroline Phillips, Mixel Ducau, Rixtxi Salaberria and Jabi Area create music that is as much Basque as it is universal. Inspired by traditional dance melodies and rhythms as well as international folk music. The traditional Basque instruments, the abolka, ttun-ttun and a txirula are combined with 'modern' instruments (acoustic guitar & piano) as well as with other musical traditions (hurdy-gurdy, Moroccan darbouka and cajon from Andalusia).
