release notes
BATUK is the new musical project by cool d:vision resulting from the cooperation
between H2O Production, aka ôBahianö, Rosa Emilia Dias, passionate interpreter
of the main Brasilian musicians long established in our country and, venetian
musician Cristiano Verardo, former guitarist of the charismatic band 'Pitura
Freska', who were active in Italy during the Nineties.
The record emerges from Rosa's exhuberant Brazilian voice, perfectly combined
with the most sophisticated of european musical culture, finding in Cristiano's
harmonic and melodic richness its ideal completion. BATUK's sound is positive,
fresh and sunny like Bahia's drums, it's multiple and dynamic, like the best
electronic music of our times.
The name Batuk is derived from the word ôbatuqueö and from the verb ôbatucarö,
meaning ôto play drumsö, but also can be reference to something simple, like ôto
hitö a matchbox on a bar table, setting a rhythm. It's the act of inventing a
sound and a rhythm using small things, it's everything that helps us to make
music with just a few elements. Batucco is the dance of black people, too, as
black as the Brasilian character in Rosa's voice, whereas the sound flowing in
Cristiano's veins is varied in itÆs origins.
The musical mixture of CRUZEIRO DO SUL is fantastic and at the same time
extremely varied. It goes from solar and rhythmic atmospheres to the most
sophisticated of calm and relaxing tracks. It is undoubtedly a product showing
style and a high level of composition and production.
All songs of the album are composed, sung and arranged by Rosa and Cristiano,
assisted by first-class musicians: Leo Di Angilla, Gianluca Ballarin, Tobia
Lenarda, Jaques Morelenbaum, Paolo Brunello, Beppe
Costantini, Federico Nalesso, Marco Ponchiroli.
