Faraualla - Tonga
After they had gone in for polyphony within ancient music for a long time, Faraualla have applied themselves to study traditional songs of mediterranean provenience, concentrating on emissions, polyphonies and harmonic unusualness, sounds of the words and, in general, on what that most of all fascinate singers: the vocal language. After the success of their first record "Faraualla", their are known in Europe to be the "Zap-Mamas of the Mediterranean", who through their experience with ethnic sources and improvisation games are always looking for new musical frontiers. The result of these auditory, singing and emotional experiences is now represented in original songs, in which their invented and used language becomes sound. "Sind”, in the dialect of Bari (Apulia, South Italy) means "hear, listen": it is not easy to describe the sound of Faraualla and for this reason when someone asks them "what kind of music do they play?", they simply reply: "Sind!"
