The album És pregunta by Tarta Relena is the winner of the 2025 MIN Award in the category of roots music. The MIN Awards celebrate Spain’s independent music industry.
Formed in 2016 by Spanish vocalists Marta Torrella and Helena Ros, Tarta Relena is an a cappella duo that explores a wide range of vocal music, from traditional Mediterranean songs to original compositions. Their repertoire bridges sacred and secular traditions, driven by experimentation and the fusion of diverse vocal techniques. Their arrangements mix contrasting vocal timbres with electronic music elements, aiming for expressive depth using minimal components.
Tarta Relena’s latest album, És pregunta, engages with themes of tragic thought, portraying characters confronted by inevitable consequences and the limits of self-understanding. Through voice and electronics, the duo explores the tension between fate, curiosity, and the mysteries that defy rational explanation.
