Savina Yannatou / Songs of Another


Third ECM album by resourceful Greek singer Savina Yannatou and the exciting band Primavera en Salonico, recorded in Athens in 2007. The collective sails through traditional songs from Armenia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Kazakhstan, Southern Italy as well as Greece, and adds a 16th century hymn from the Yiddish tradition. Arrangements, primarily by Kostas Vomvolos, find the points that unite the traditions, while Savina locates areas where experimental vocal technique can overlap with the idiosyncrasies of folk singing. A magical recording, with achingly beautiful melodies, and spirited improvising erupting out of the arrangements.

Chavela Vargas/ La Llorona

Ay de mi llorona, Llorona,
de ayer y de hoy.
Ay de mi llorona, Llorona,
de ayer y de hoy.
Ayer era maravilla, Llorona,
y ahora ni sombra soy.
Ayer era maravilla, Llorona,
y ahora ni sombra soy.

Dicen que no tengo duelo, Llorona,
porque no me ven llorar.
Dicen que no tengo duelo, Llorona,
porque no me ven llorar.
Hay muertos que no hacen ruido, Llorona,
y es más grande su penar.
Hay muertos que no hacen ruido, Llorona,
y es más grande su penar.

Ay de mi llorona, Llorona,
de azul celeste.
Ay de mi llorona, Llorona,
de azul celeste.
Y aunque la vida me cueste, Llorona,
no dejaré de quererte.
Y aunque la vida me cueste, Llorona,
no dejaré de quererte.

Kaulakau/ Marc Egea


The zanfona is an instrument that dates from the ninth century but fell out of favour over the 18th and 19th, and one with almost as many names as it has varieties of designs (including hurdy-gurdy, vielle à roues).

The ancient relative of both the violin and the bagpipe, it was played in Spain's Galicia until the 19th century and in parts of France and Hungary until the 20th. The French and Spanish variety, with its odd-sounding buzzing bridge, has a distinct sound that is both ancient and somehow futuristic. As technology developed, other instruments were thought to have more versatility, relegating the hurdy gurdy to an image of poor peasantry.

But this once-maligned instrument has made a recent comeback. In the hands of the Catalan ex-philosophy student Marc Egea it proves to be an instrument of many qualitites.

A Soulful Trip



Robert Rauschenberg died on Monday, May 12, 2008, at the age of 82. His unbridled creativity and intellectual curiosity inspired and influenced generations of artists. He was amazingly prolific, and gave so much to the world at large. This is a very sad loss.
While searching around the web for stories about him, I found this interesting animation that tries to demonstrate the way Rauschenberg might have built up and layered one of his photo collages. Even though the animation was not made in collaboration with Rauschenberg, I believe that all of the images used come from work that he created. It's cool, and playful. And the soundtrack is by his old buddy John Cage.
