Music as a common thread to unite different eras and cultures under the sacred fire of art, this must be the basis of this work by the Bulgarian group recording for the daring French label prikosnovèniè. Drawing from the lesson of the masters, the seminal Dead Can Dance, this quartet offers us pieces where oriental music blends with Balkan folk and the finest
medieval tradition in a fascinating journey where it is impossible not to get lost.
The singer Denitza Seraphimova, following in the footsteps of Lisa Gerrard, abandons the song form to launch into vocals that evoke mysticism and the supernatural, accompanied by darkwave-style harmonies and an impressive variety of instruments. I won't bore you with the description of every single piece, just an honorable mention for "Moonsalvato", 12 minutes of pure poetry in two voices. Music for those who aren't afraid to feel emotions
