Trikitixa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (174 words)
The trikitixa is known since the early 19th century, when it was imported to Basque Country through Italy and the port Bilbao.
The onomatopoeia trikitixa originally referred to a traditional Basque ensemble, made up of the instrument which now bears the name as well as alboka, txistus and other instruments.
It became a welcome instrument in Basque festivals, however the Catholic church resisted it, calling it "hell's bellows" since its dance-inciting music would lead Basque youths into temptation.
