Release Notes:
"The diatonic accordion (named as æconcertinaÆ in Portugal) is an instrument
created in the first half of XIX century, later worked to perfection, by several
European instrument makers and today it echoes memories coming from a different
musical ambience: a time before the record and the radio inventions. But it
continues being a ædream machineÆ ready to invent possible futures and making
senses.
In May 1989, Artur Fernandes, Filipe Cal, Filipe Ricardo and Francisco Miguel
had a dream to look for and worked their musical performance skills meanwhile
they studied the possibilities of taking this instrument away from folklore
music ways, accepting what then was known as ö the concertina willö, but writing
a new music for it. This was the time that led the band to its name and to its
first record, Danτas Ocultas (1996), with a repertory on which predominate Artur
Fernandes compositions.
After that, came a adventuring time, less ingenuous and more artistic, resulting
from the continuous contacts with other performers, from experiences on stage,
from the first travels and partnerships, motivating the change of the group into
a sharing creativity nucleus and leading to the recording of ôArö the second
record which affirms the beginning of a self musical grammar and shows some
technical innovations like the use of a specially built ôbass concertinaö.
Since then the band has been experiencing the links between that musical grammar
and a more universal and trans-cultural view of the musical phenomenon as well
as the contemporaneous cultural ways. This concept allowed the band to often
perform within scenic arts, namely in Paulo Ribeiro choreographies for which the
band composed original music, as well as the repertoire of Pulsar, its third
record, Pulsar (2004), after which all the compositions and musical arrangements
start to be signed collectively. Sound, rhythm and harmony games between the
past and the future, making sense, in a dialog with contemporary aesthetic.
In October 2009, a new work was published: Its name is Tarab, an arabic word
meaning a state of elevation, celebration and spiritual communion that is struck
both by the performer and by the listener during a well done musical act. Tarab
is ecstasy. Tarab is the goal of music as well as of those who practice it.
Tarab notes now the refocusing of the group, a dynamic reinterpretation of their
common path and a new affirmation of music as a universal language of
brotherhood."
