Salentorkestra ::: Centueuna

Salento tradition is a starting point from which operate a fascinating series of grafts, interweaving instrumental music and culture of their land and those bordering the Mediterranean Sea. Different trance sounds in the Mediterranean are retraced, recovering voices and instruments, sounds rooted in time, left us by people who walked or conquered our lands. The "great white sea", as Arabs call it, is a crossroads of ancient cultures, entranced by the knowledge of art and its multiple languages, which are the common feelings of mankind. After a long and deep research done in the field at close contact with their people and musical collaborations in the field of worldmusic, Salentorkestra presents its first recording project entitled "Centueuna", offering original compositions and traditional music of Salento in the broader context of musical culture of the Mediterranean. The great strength of the group is to restate the pizzica pizzica, an ancient rhythm that leads step by step to trance, where the instrumental virtuosity and the hypnosis of lullabies colours the respectful but insistent rhythm of the dance, cathartic and liberating.

Marusic IsTrio ::: Istrophonia

courtesy of katjusha at World music
Music CD "Istrophonia", by Istrian musicologist Dario Marušić and his band "IsTrio", with reinterpretations of original Istrian traditional songs, dedicated to Jules Verne, with quoting from "Mathias Sandorf" on the cover.
The pluriethnic and multicultural microcosm of Istria is a meeting point and a point of constant contact, exchange, permeation, and transformation, but also the maintenance of continuity of the musical cultures of the Croats, Slovenes, Italians, Istro-Romanians and Peroj-Montenegrins as autochtonous ethnic groups. The Istrian modus vivendi that translates multiculturality to authentic, everyday culture can be defined as an articulate and unique system of historical, ethnic, cultural and linguistic shades that marks and determines the specific quality of Istria in relation to most of Croatian, Slovenian, and Italian, but also many other European areas.
It s not the mere sum of different cultural substances, which, by historical circumstances, exist one next to each other, but it is more a centuries-long, spiritually-cultural sedimentation and intertwinement in which, what is special productively comes up from specific unity of cultural differences. Because of true intercultural communication, multicultural facts are not made distincitve but only being recognized

An exact aural reproduction of the Tarantella has been made possible for the first time through numeric transposition. Popular Tarantellas that have been passed down orally and classical Tarantellas that belong to the written tradition have been interwoven to create a new backdrop which highlights both rhythm and melody. Add to this the individual characteristics which are singular to each region and the result is a rich and varied tableau. The Tarantella is the coming together of DANCE-SOUND-COLOUR as a means to catharsis. If you dance you will find that each piece will require you to perform different steps until ultimately you feel you are on a path that will lead you to transcend the material, that will take you from the earth to the heavens, from darkness to light.
