#Creology Review @vrijegeluiden+Concerts Amsterdam (NL)

#Creology was highlighted in this week new releases review by 
"Creology (Galileo Music) - Carmen Souza ft. Theo Pascal

Carmen Souza herken je altijd meteen aan haar dichtgeknepen hoge stem, die soms spint als een kat en soms heerlijke vrije val maakt naar de lage bastonen. Ze klinkt heel intiem alsof ze in je oor staat te zingen. Van het begin van haar carrière, 14 jaar terug, werkt de Kaapverdiaanse zangeres met de Portugese bassist en arrangeur Theo Pascal. Ze zijn bedreven in het verwerken van traditionele Kaapverdiaanse en Cubaanse ritmes in hun moderne jazzarrangementen. Met dit album zijn ze een stapje verder gegaan. Ze volgen een trans-Atlantische route van de Portugese ex-koloniën van Kaapverdië, Mozambique, Angola, de oceaan overstekend naar Brazilië en Cuba naar en New Orleans. Creology is kortom een muzikale kijk op de geschiedenis van slavernij en kolonisatie. Niet droevig of boos, maar mooi en vrolijk. CC"
ENG: "... "Creology is a musical view of the history of slavery and colonization. Not sad or angry, but beautiful and cheerful. CC" 

Carmen Souza, Theo Pascal and Elias Kacomanolis will be presenting #Creology in Amsterdam 
on June 02 and 03 during ON THE ROOF FESTIVAL: http://on-the-roof.nl/#program

LIVE REVIEWS:
"Portoghese ma di origini capoverdiane, Carmen Souza (chitarra, piano e voce) assieme a Theo Pascal (basso elettrico e contrabbasso) ed Elias Kacomanolis (batteria e percussioni), ha letteralmente entusiasmato il pubblico accorso numeroso all’Hotel Miramare innanzitutto per un timbro ed una tecnica vocale unici, assieme ad una magnifica ampiezza della sua voce. E poi per la sua musica, capace di creare un tessuto armonico in cui le influenze musicali di Capoverde si fondono con quelle afro-brasiliane, cubane, fino ad arrivare al jazz di New Orleans...."
