Ixo . Sho

I love the way the musicians play with sounds, using difficult rhythmic patterns and fabulous play. Listen the heavy hurdy gurdy sound, the exploding (cow) horns and the unexpected twists in the musical arrangements. Each time I listen to this album I hear new sounds, new melodies and I just get more and more enthusiastic. At some moments it reminds me of the best work of Hedningarna, on other moments it’s like the village musicians meets a sound lunatic and it all works. This album took me by surprise and must be played over and over again. What a fantastic and refreshing CD, it makes me curious to hear more of the musicians other projects, so if you excuse me I’m going to do some research and refresh my knowledge on Basque and Gascony traditional music. In the meanwhile you should close folk world and visit the bands webpage to buy their album.
