SOSPIRO “Voice and percussions are a sort of living fossils, they’re body and sound at primordial state and yet endlessly renewed. They are surely the first instrument used by humanity: hit body, cries, whispers. Adam, Eve and Lucy, they make music in this way, just like Maria Callas, Sinatra, Max Roach and Cathy Berberian. Measuring against these instruments is just about trying to ride a tyrannosaurus; it means evoking primordial nature, primeval matter. A sea that draw on primordial ocean. And just from the deep come the voices of Faraualla. But if you listen very hard, the popular tradition of Apulia, the Murgia, the Mediterranean sea, they haven’t got much to do with it. It’s clear: they are useful for putting a number plate on the car, naming a starting point. After getting on board this vocal machine you’re carried away far and wide: from renaissance polyphony to neo avant-garde, from Ars Nova to Pop, from folk to jazz. All this naturally , without obtrusively forcing, without making a collage of styles as amateurs of crossover use to do.< After all, this is the secret of Faraualla: the ability of present with genius and spontaneity an unlimited schedule of references, ideas, proposals that, coming from the deep, seem –just for this reason- always brand-new. Ulysses would not cope with them. ". TRACKLIST
