Tjak

The Tjak project sprang from the meeting of Gabriel Gomes, Pedro Sotiry and Victor Bandeira . Since 1960 that the latter had travelled through Africa, South America, the South-west of Asia, and New Guinea where he gathered objects from cultures known as “primitives” which, today, are displayed at the Museum of Ethnology in Lisbon, Portugal. Together with this, VB also recorded songs and dances from different ethnic groups, and are these same tape recordings that are used as motivation and inspiration for the music performed by the Tjacks.
