Release Notes:
After 10 years as a band, several line-ups and lots
of concerts in Portugal and abroad, this
ôHemisfΘriosö (Hemispheres) recording appears as an
abridgement of the path trailed over the past 4
years by a band with no match in the Portuguese
musical scene and one of the most exported
Portuguese bands ever.
If the 70Æs radicalism meant playing exactly like
in the oral tradition recordings, in the 90Æs that
radicalism was way off, with orchestrations,
harmonisations and instrumentations that little or
nothing had in common with the oral tradition
recordings.
If there ever was any coyness or prudeness about
being different and taking chances, these are
gradually being abandoned û not very easily, we
must say û by new generations working on the
Portuguese oral tradition repertoire.
In Dazkarieh the goal lies not in being different
and taking chances; rather, thereÆs no goal other
than making music, either through composition or by
rearranging a rich and diverse musical tradition
such as ours.
We stand before a group of excellent young
musicians and instrumentalists who never had
tradition as their starting point. Their musical
influences demonstrate.so. This intimate relation
became a natural process which has revealed itself
invaluable to Portuguese music.
If for some people the excessive electric
experimentation is a sin, one should point out that
the acoustic feature has never quite disappeared
from the Dazkarieh sound. Moreover, itÆs the
groupÆs trademark and one of the cornerstones of
their compositions.
The inclusion of new instruments such as the hurdy
gurdy and the drums, up until now quite absent from
the vast creative palette utilised, as well as the
growing attraction for exclusive and custom
instruments (notice the Portuguese bouzouki û half
bass and half Portuguese guitar û the Portuguese
bag pipes, the 10-string mandolin), allow for a
greater and more powerful sound, perfectly plain in
their concerts.
The production of a double CD came naturally out of
the need for affirmation of a reality already
present in their concerts in the past 4 years. If
on the one hand, the early compositions were based
on several musical geographies as the starting
point at their genesis, the latter works are a
respectful embrace of an ever-changing tradition.
And that is revealed in ôHemisfΘriosö. Two sides of
the same coin, the strong originality and the need
to keep everything in its rightful place. On one
disc, their originals hardly prone to be labelled,
and on the other, their own version of that
Portuguese music oral tradition. From this
electric-acoustic duality comes an outstanding
work, a definite affirmation and an even greater
challenge in the creation of even more unique and
unrivalled music.
