OCTOBER 2017

VPRO (Netherland) Vrije Geluiden, 01/09/17 An « imaginary folklore » where you can escape « (…) a fascinating trio with its imaginary folklore (…). The bright chant of Maria Laurent has a humble intonation from Portugal. The Persian classical music makes an echo in Milad Pasta’s percussions, and Johanni Curtet the guitarist sings like a Mongolian throat singer. (…) You will maybe notice that they are all crazy about traditional music from Europe, Mongolia and Iran. The beauty is that they are able to mix those influences that you will be disoriented. The fact that Maria sings in different languages and an imaginary language will not disturb you. (…) It is a meal that you can savour. » - Charlie Crooijmans
