Vinti 'E Maju (CD)

The protagonists of this album embrace the complexity, diversity, and innovative power of a musical tradition that, in this case, seeks dialogue with other languages, opening itself up to innovative music. On one side, we find the prepared Sardinian guitar, an alien instrument that has fascinated music critics from Europe and overseas; on the other, the guttural singing of the Tenore Murales, an expression of one of the most ancient polyvocalities in the Mediterranean, with similarities to Tuva and Mongolia. In VINTI 'E MAJU, the musical encounter occurs on different levels. The collaboration between Tenore Murales from Orgosolo and Paolo Angeli begins with the assimilation of the grammar of the Tenore's traditional languages and extends to the guitar practices and repertoires of Gallura and Logudoro. The point of view is that of an island in the heart of the Mediterranean but, even more so, that of an island within the Island, Orgosolo, which generates a textual and dialectical comparison with other musical cultures, without ever renouncing its specificity.
