Graiu: Afrodoine / live in concert
BUCHAREST PHOTOFEST, the 8th edition

O fuziune în sunet și în spirit între romanități orientale și moșteniri afro-americane, aduse în contemporan sau despre rădăcini ramificate atât de profund încât se întâlnesc. Pentru că graiul este elementul de bază al limbii, depozitarul rădăcinilor noastre culturale, ne arată de unde venim și da, în afară de limbă, graiurile sunt și muzică și cânt, arhetipuri mentale și sonore, sunt ritual și catharsis, izvorâte din cel mai visceral și sincer strat al ființei noastre....See more details
