Pep Moliner, Jordi Casas, Xavi Molina and Xavi Torrent are four of the most reputable and innovative cobla musicians, experts in hacking tradition and using their folk instruments in any modern musical genre. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTarta Relena, young a capella trans-folk duet that have shook up theire scene. With their use of polyphony and voice FX, Helena Ros and Marta Torrella are digging in the deepest Mediterranean folk repertoire and placing it in the XXIst century with aesthetic renewal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZA!: Papadupau \u0026amp; Spazzfrica Ehd are European benchmarks of the underground Do-It-Yourself music community. Their uniquely intense shows, as well as their collective\/collaborative work (wokshops, benefit shows, Do-it-Together cooperation) have allowed them to tour the whole world, from Tokyo to Maputo, from Tasmania to Sao Paulo, from New York to Saint Petersburg. Under the premise that avant-garde art is not incompatible with collective horizontal creation, ZA! mix cult, underground and popular music without asking permission.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese three elements come together with the purpose of portraying their own vision of Mediterranean music, filtered by distortion (so current in cognitive, social and identity terms) and psychedelia (so inevitable in an increasingly accelerated and saturated reality). A retro-futuristic journey from folk to free exploring the shores of the Mediterranean, claiming its power as a living core, never as a deadly border.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe TransMegaCobla fuses traditional Mediterranean culture -from bulería to kopanitsa, from gnaoua to sardana- with contemporary culture to create a fictional but deeply human and festive universe. Resurrecting the Phoenician language, the octet seeks common roots to fuse and remake them with contemporary molds such as rock, punk, free jazz and conducted improvisation. A timeless orchestra ready to invent, with real elements, a science-fiction Mediterranean in a parallel reality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVinyl Manufactured in Czech Republic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracklist\u003cbr\u003e01 La Sardana de Baal Hammon\u003cbr\u003e02 El Medisabor de Le'an Elnim\u003cbr\u003e03 El Sweep de Lehelan\u003cbr\u003e04 La Gnaoua de Yishma Qala!\u003cbr\u003e05 Ela Tho\u003cbr\u003e06 El Gosse de Marpha\u003cbr\u003e07 El Balearic de Qaa El Ril\u003cbr\u003e08 La Kopanitsa d'Aruj Yamim\u003cbr\u003e09 Fandangos d'Aruj Yamim\u003cbr\u003e10 El Djent d'Aruj Yamim\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Keroxen \/ Discrepant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42267680538780,"sku":"KRXN032","price":20.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/KRXN032.jpg?v=1673084529","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/za-za-la-transmegacobla","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
