Editor's info:
Dreamlike journey in Sephardic landscapes.
The musical selections on this album take us on a melodic, poetic and rhythmic journey. Here are songs with elliptical or metaphoric accents that tell of absence, desire, expectation, grace, jealousy, melancholy, pain, the mundane, the heart’s nobility. Songs encompassing that whole palette of “loving feeling” born in the wake of a courtly love that will sprinkle its gold dust along a route that goes all the way from the medieval troubadours of southern France to faraway India. This album is the delicious outcome of a long collaboration between musicians and singers who for more than ten years have studied their voices and instruments but also the music sources that have inspired them. This choice of songs also imposed itself on them as the outcome of a long conversation about ways to make alive words and imaginary worlds that come from far away and that also infer their timelessness. Henri Agnel (cittern, cetera, oud, rebec, zarb, bass vocals), Idriss Agnel (oudou, zarb, cajon, harmonium, cittern, tenor vocals), Milena Jeliazkova (traditional soprano) and Milena Roudeva (traditional alto baritone) are not of Jewish heritage. But throughout each of their own personal trajectories these musical artists have come face to face with the wealth of that culture’s musical diaspora, especially in its so-called Sephardic dimension. And with good reason, for their playground is that Mediterranean basin where the great founding philosophies were woven. Let’s backup somewhat: beginning in 1492 with Spain entering a period of Catholic Voyage.
