Local Gold: Taarka
from KGNU Music Hosted by KGNU Music
Taarka joined Ginger Perry in the KGNU studio to talk about their long-running musical partnership, which began in New York City in 2001 and has since evolved into a genre-blending sound rooted in folk, jazz, and global influences. Now based in Colorado, the duo—joined by their teenage son on upright bass—shared stories of their early days busking, their move west after 9/11, and how their collaborative songwriting process has grown over time. During the session, Taarka performed live in studio, including their newly released single “Have You Ever,” offering listeners a preview of their dynamic, multi-instrumental style. They also discussed a February 22 show at the Dairy Center for the Arts in Boulder as part of the Musical Vanguard series. (Air Date 2/17/2026)
