Vasconcelos - percussion, voice
Jayadeva - voice, guitars, guimbri, flute, percussion
Peppe Consolmagno - percussion,
voice, live sample
Jayadeva
is working with Nanà
Vasconcelos
at the Organic Music Theatre of Don Cherry. Together they bring on stage a
musical poetry in which different expressions flow and melt simultaneously
through the voice of each instrument performed by the three musicians,
perhaps the first great example of World Music. Peppe
Consolmagno and Nanà
are linked
by a long friendship and collaboration over time, where respect and
interaction are the points of reference on which to move their music.
Vasconcelos,
Jayadeva, Consolmagno A
trio that is
based on flexibility, melodic inventiveness and naturalness through which
the three musicians mold each fragment of their experiences and musical
influences. A melting pot of different cultures but only one voice, between
composition and improvisation, halfway between tradition and modernity.
It’s
hard to describe in few words the intensity that Naná
Vasconcelos
can bring to a concert. When
he comes on the stage, the music starts to become
something magical. Nana is not only popular, he is also an
innovator, who has amplified the concept of percussion extending
it to everything that emits sound: nature, electronics and human
bodies are the fields where Naná
have made his experiments, always
bearing in mind the Brazilian musical tradition. If you assist to
a concert by Naná
, you will see a one man band playing the
strangest instruments and the audience transformed into an
instrument too. For
Jayadeva,
playing
is
like living
inside
a
"
Universal
Village
"
where
communication,
rhythm, melody and
harmony
converge
towards
the center,
towards
the heart,
in
a
language
that
combines
the
spirit.
A
profound
experience
that
will
lead him
to
embrace the music
as
a whole.
For
Jayadeva,
today music
represents more and more a unique expression
with
endless
stories
of
humanity.
A
fusion of
styles
and
traditions,
united
by a vocabulary which
breaks down
all
barriers
between
academic
and
popular
language,
a
cultural action that
goes
beyond
the
music
itself,
able
to
communicate,
respect
different
cultures
and
consequently,
mankind.
Peppe
Consolmagno, who
is considered the Italian Alter-ego of Naná
Vasconcelos, is very
concerned with the search for new sounds, overriding the classical
language of percussions in order to create sound track.
Unlike Nana, Peppe seems to draw closer to the noises of
our urban civilization, dissecting the complex reflections that
are born from the contrast between the desire to meditate and the
frenetic pace of the twenty first century man. He builds
instruments for himself and for Nana too, he is a surrealist
artist, a sort of De Chirico of the music world, who transforms
the stage into a workshop of dreams.
