Yoraré
By Griff Trio

Some years ago, 3 pipers, entirely nude, without any rhythm section, already blew away the dust of old myths about bagpipes: "Pipes but no kilt", was their motto... Today, those 3 pipers are back and happy to blow away even more dust: they present you a "certified 100% Belgian" program!

Next to the bagpipes, whistles and vocals has now taken an important place. Still in the same polyphonical mind.

They’ve put their noses into dusty Walloon manuscripts, old Flemish song books, listened to rattling field recordings... it was like reading grandparent's personal diaries. Simple people's stories, anecdotes of yesteryears... The humble melodies of rural dances.

They could have played those melodies, sung those songs in their most rough form, like a bunch of photocopies, but they preferred to confront them to their imagination and artistic desires. The result is far from nostalgia, but the breath of three XXIst century troubadours.
