Die Musik von Antonio Castrignan\u00c3\u00b2 kommt aus der Ferne, nach einer langen pers\u00c3\u00b6nlichen Suche: “Es ist ein pers\u00c3\u00b6nliches Bed\u00c3\u00bcrfnis, das mich immer wieder antreibt, das Bed\u00c3\u00bcrfnis, die Quelle zu suchen und unseren jungen Leuten die Musik eines alten Rituals wie der Taranta n\u00c3\u00a4her zu bringen. Eine Musik, die voller Leben und Leidenschaft ist, die im Laufe der Zeit durch Kl\u00c3\u00a4nge, Farben, Gesichter und Geschichten bereichert wird, die an Bedeutung gewinnt und sich der Welt \u00c3\u00b6ffnet, zu Gemeinschaft, Emotion, Heilung… Licht wird.”<\/p>\n
Aber \u00e2\u20ac\u017eBabilonia\u00e2\u20ac\u0153 ist keine Platte, die zur\u00c3\u00bcckblickt, wie es in der Volksmusik so oft der Fall ist. Nein, “das ist keine traditionelle Musik, keine Musik, die es schon einmal gab. Dies ist die Musik von morgen. Sie spricht die Themen und Unsicherheiten an, die uns heute verfolgen, mit einer Sprache, die sich bewusst an die Jugend richtet.”\u00c2\u00a0 Die beiden Singles, die vor dem Album ver\u00c3\u00b6ffentlicht wurden, gehen in die gleiche Richtung: Taranta World ist eine elektrische Fantasie auf der Pizzica, eine Mischung aus rituellen und zeitgen\u00c3\u00b6ssischen Ankl\u00c3\u00a4ngen.<\/p>\n
Masseria Boncuri, ein Ort, der f\u00c3\u00bcr den Kampf gegen die illegale Anwerbung von Landarbeitern steht, ist ein kraftvoller Groove aus Streichern und Perkussion, der auf mediterranen Kl\u00c3\u00a4ngen die Geschichte der Ausbeutung von Feldarbeitern im Salento, in Apulien und \u00c3\u00bcberall auf der Welt erz\u00c3\u00a4hlt. In dem Lied ist als Gastk\u00c3\u00bcnstler Enzo Avitabile zu h\u00c3\u00b6ren. Zus\u00c3\u00a4tzlich zu den Musikern, die Castrignan\u00c3\u00b2 schon immer unterst\u00c3\u00bctzt haben, sind auf dem Album auch zahlreiche internationale K\u00c3\u00bcnstler vertreten: die gambische S\u00c3\u00a4ngerin Sona Jobarteh, die einzige Frau, die die Kora – die afrikanische Harfe – spielt, und ein Mitglied der siebten Generation einer Griot-Familie, der brillante t\u00c3\u00bcrkische Musiker und Produzent Mercan Dede, der gro\u00c3\u0178e Enzo Avitabile, der historische S\u00c3\u00a4nger von Sud Sound System, Don Rico, und der senegalesische S\u00c3\u00a4nger Badara Seck, die pure Energie in Person.<\/p>\n

But in today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s global village, with its instantaneous flows and time that scrolls away, mired in the present of billions of synchronized devices, being universal isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t enough anymore. The artist\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s task is to stop it, if anything, or anticipate it, letting us catch a glimpse of the world that is \u00e2\u20ac\u02dccoming soon\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. And if you are born in a land of giants and visionaries, like the Salento, you also have to be prepared to deal with an immense musical tradition before you begin to realize your dreams.<\/p>\n Visionaries, sure, but firmly rooted in the land of their forefathers. Scion of the millennia and the tarantola and lucid interpreter of the present day, Antonio Castrignan\u00c3\u00b2 is a musician, singer, crafter of ecstacies and pied piper, a young cyclops who uses half his hundred arms to play his tambourines and the other half to hail giants from beyond the horizon, embracing and welcoming them like foreign potentates in his humble reign. Babilonia is the name he has chosen for his musical geography:<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an album with all new pieces, and it tooka long time,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d says Antonio, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153to complete the writing in a way that would do it justice. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re all original songs, new melodies, new stories and new rhythms, maybe borrowed from other places, like sub-Saharan Africa, Turkey and India. Babilonia is all of us. A world made of faces and souls that mutate, mingle and are transformed, but which cannot ignore the past, memories, roots and traditions, even those of the tiniest village or community. But you cannot look back with nostalgia: you must look ahead while looking more closely at the past and its teachings (humanity, dignity, work, respect, relationship with nature…), those universal values that are often found in contexts of absolute poverty and which represent an inestimable source of enrichment for modern societies.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A record of Babylonian opulence, a collection of languages from all over the world, starting with the local Antonio Castrignan\u00c3\u00b2 Rocco Nigro: accordion and synthesizer Socials: Babilonia _SoundCloud link: Videoclip YT link: [:de] Die Musik von Antonio Castrignan\u00c3\u00b2 kommt aus der Ferne, nach einer langen pers\u00c3\u00b6nlichen Suche: “Es ist ein pers\u00c3\u00b6nliches Bed\u00c3\u00bcrfnis, das mich immer wieder antreibt, das Bed\u00c3\u00bcrfnis, die Quelle zu suchen und unseren jungen Leuten die Musik eines alten Rituals wie der Taranta n\u00c3\u00a4her zu bringen.

\ndialect, which addresses many universal themes, ancient and yet perfectly timely: the relationship between
\nman and nature, love, work, the feminine side of things. Antonio Castrignan\u00c3\u00b2\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s music comes from afar, after
\na long personal quest: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a personal need that continues to drive me, the need to seek out the source and bring
\nour young people closer to the music of an ancient ritual like the Taranta. A music full of life and passion,
\nwhich over time is enriched by sounds, colors, faces and stories, acquiring added significance and opening up
\nto the world, becoming communion, emotion, healing\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 light.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d But Babilonia is not a record that looks back,
\nas is so often the case in folk music. No, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153This is not traditional music, music that existed before. This is the
\nmusic of tomorrow. It speaks to the topics and uncertainties that hound us today, with a lexicon that is
\npurposely aimed at the young.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nThe two singles released before the album followed the same line: Taranta World is an electric fantasy on the
\npizzica, a blend of ritual flames and contemporary echoes. Masseria Boncuri, a place that stands for the fight
\nagainst the illegal recruitment of farm laborers, is a powerful groove of strings and percussion that draws on
\nMediterranean sounds to tell the story of the exploitation of field hands in the Salento, in Apulia, all over the
\nworld. The song features special guest artist Enzo Avitabile. In addition to the musicians who have always
\nbacked Castrignan\u00c3\u00b2, the record features contributions from numerous international artists: the Gambian
\nvocalist Sona Jobarteh, the only woman to play the kora – the African harp \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and a member of the seventh
\ngeneration of a Griot family, the brilliant Turkish musician and producer Mercan Dede, the great Enzo
\nAvitabile, the historic vocalist of Sud Sound System, Don Rico, and the Senegalese singer Badara Seck,
\npure energy personified.<\/p>\n
