Alice Zawadzki: Za Gorami

Exotic and Old World folk sounds are created by vocalist/violinist Alec Zawadzki, joined by Misha Mullov-Abbado/b and Fred Thomas on the piano, drums and traditional violin vielle. The mix of voice and strings create an almost Byzantine, liturgical atmosphere as on ”Dezile A M I Amor”, and with  piano, the is a crystalline “Nani Nani” in support of her fragile voice”. Her vocal tone hovers in the high register, creating tension on the dramatic “Tonada De Luna Llena” while painting with pastels on the impressionistic “Arvoles Lloran Por Lluvias”. The three sometimes get loose and intuitive as on the folksy “Dame La Mano” while sustained emotions coalesce on the throbbing “Za Gorami”. A world from another time.
