Release Notes:
Melech Mechaya (me-LEKH me-KHAH-yah) means in Hebrew ôThe Party Kingsö and this
Portuguese band may perfectly deserve such an illustrious title. Melech Mechaya
turn their concerts into a non-stop party where the audience laughs, dances,
participates, and gets involved in an irresistible performance. Melech Mechaya
was founded in 2006 in Lisbon, with the same line-up than the current one:
Miguel Verφssimo on the clarinet; Joπo Graτa on the violin; AndrΘ Santos on the
guitar; Joπo Novais on the doublebass and Francisco Caiado on the percussion.
Since their beginnings, klezmer music (that strong music tradition of the Jews
from Central and East Europe) has been the basis for the creation of a
repertoire that couples traditional tunes and their own compositions, always
with a personal approach that manages to combine the great beauty of the
compositions with a fresh and lighthearted attitude that comes to the live
performance in a surprising and exciting way.
Up to now Melech Mechaya have been playing non-stop in their homeland Portugal,
and have performed more than 30 times in Spain. They have also played in
countries as different as Croatia, Cape Verde, Brazil, Sweden, Finland, Belgium
and Austria, playing both in large open air festivals and in theatres, metro
stations, historic buildingsà and always wrapping the audience around their
little finger and captivating the specialised press. In 2014, they premiered in
Germany and theyÆve already confirmed their return to Spain, Finland, Sweden and
Belgium.
Their third album, which theyÆll present formally in March 2014 on their
premiere in Germany, is called Gente Estranha (Strange People) and will be
published and internationally distributed by the historic Italian label Felmay,
a true reference on World Music. This new album features collaborations with the
composer and singer Amelia Muge, singer Jazzafari, and DeolindaÆs lyricist Pedro
da Silva Martins.
