Awankana - Rainbowland - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This recording is an especially good demonstration of how Awankana's music is always open to new influences.

Having discovered Chopin for yourself - that sounds like nothing unusual. It is more unusual, however, to discover Louis-Moreau Gottschalk, he is unknown to most and has written a very special kind of music. Reading Chopin's biography and Gottschalk's diary, I was surprised at the actual connection between the two, which, if you only know their music, is hard to imagine. Her life stories are at the same time full of contrasts and parallels. That's why I included these composers in one program. Chopin wrote revolutionary music that had it's roots in Polish folk music. And that at a time when Europe was still looking for Beethoven. Gottschalk was also revolutionary, entering a world of music that was spurned, the music of slaves, shaped by Creole and African-Caribbean rhythms. Two brave people in very different ways, and both wrote InchMusic for Pianists. InchThe living conditions in Europe at Chopin's time were hard, grim and dangerous. Political unrest, bitter poverty, poor hygiene and poor medical care shaped everyday life. In America, the Inchbird of paradiseInch Gottschalk traveled through areas marked by civil war and robbery - not as a InchgunslingerInch but as a musician. How were they able to reconcile everyday life and their genius? What force did they have in their short lifespan? They did not become old. Chopin left the world at age 39, Gottschalk at age 40, both abroad. Two very contrary composers who have left us this beautiful music.Inch (Oh-Havenith) Album Tracks 1.

Suggestions of late romanticism, elements from rock and jazz, ethnic music from Indian flutes to West Coast, choirs of angels, countless instruments he plays himself, like sitar, saranghi, harp, keyboards, guitars, various flutes and percussion, along with natural sounds... All this is interwoven and mixed as if it were completely natural. The Mantic music of the spiritual teacher Awankana, who lives near Buenos Aires, is unique. It is dreamlike not in the sense of the cliché but in the sense of C. G. Jung's theory of archetypes. Album Tracks 1. New Day of the Kingdom 2. Paths Under the Black Sun 3. Alban and the Child Aur 4.
