Songs of the world for voice and percussion
Vocals - percussions: music is cleansed of phony ornaments in order to meet with its original sound.
Rhythm and melody, so austerely and unbreakably linked together that they strike the memory of the body conveying the energy of the songs.
Lamia Bedioui was born in Tunisia, lives in Greece since 1992 and was a close collaborator of Savina Yiannatou. Solis Barki is the best percussionist in Greece in the atmospheric percussions (here he plays more than 40 instruments). Both of them lead the listener in a musical voyage in time and space.
The voyage in space travels from the Berbers and the Bedouins of Algeria, Yemen, Palestine, the Eskimos, Lapland, Hebrews of Bulgaria and Bosnia, Egypt, as well as the troubadours of France. The voyage in time commences sometime in the 13th Century (it does not have a predetermined beginning – it loses itself in tradition) for it to lead up to the beginning of the 20th Century. And, as the listener follows this route, realizes that space, the space of people, is here, and time, human’s time, is now.
Here and now, today, songs don’t have an expiry date. They are being sustained by bodies that vibrate to the rhythm of the earth and the wonderful melody of the voice. They are being sustained by cells that know well how to hide inside them mankind’s most precious heritage. They are being sustained by the emotion that the narrations of the songs spontaneously provoke.
And it is this treasure that the people of the world have created in their passage through time, which shows up the artificiality that surrounds us.
