HUTSUN is a group formed in Pamplona in 2011 by the union of three experienced txalapartaris on a same projectAt present, we are Anai Gambra Uriz and Mikel Urrutia who form Hutsun.
 
    Our spectacle -Txalaparta Hutsa- is a musical promenade with just one instrument on stage, the Txalaparta.
After more than 75 performances, those who have enjoyed them support our project. It is a rich and entertaining spectacle and it offers the public a way to learn while they enjoy music.

     During these years, we participated in many other projects, as many collaborations in very diverse genres: jazz, hip-hop or lyrical singing.


     It’s our duty as Txalaparta guardians to go into detail about teaching and outreach of the instrument and we promotes the “1 st World Txalaparta Contest” in 2013.
