about

ĐOKA IN SOKO GRESTA V MAROKO (Djoka and Soko go to Morocco, 2002)

This instrumental music on Đoka and Soko gresta v Maroko are arrangements of acoustic classical guitar based instrumentals and chamber folk. It's basically played by classical guitar with second acoustic guitar, tabla and additional touches of triangle and tabourine. All songs are composed and played by Tantadruj guitarist Boštjan Soklič (with Mateja Blaznik on classical guitar and Jože Slak on tabla drums).
The new sound of the group with more attention to the guitars works very well and gives the music a beautiful consistent solid and mature sound. Most of the time we hear a nice interplay between the two guitars. On the first four tracks it did sound very classical arranged (on the second track fused with some blues theme), but there are more tracks thar reveal a unique and original style. »Sish – Kebab Raga« for instance. After that and on almost all tracks that followed there are blends of different styles (»Kyoto Blues« seems a perfect Word folk guitar fusing style). A few times there are sparse extra arrangements. On »Brahmaputra« we hear an additional tabla solo with a flute like noise accompaniment. »Tirolka/Tirol woman« sounds as if it has some extra oboe, although these are so much integrated on the background I am not sure of that. These fit beautifully. Lots of themes are perfect combinations of classical contemporary music with folk anf often with Indian echoes. There are even fusing styles to be aware of, in the titles, like the earlier mentioned »Kyoto Blues« or »Edelweiss Raga«. Only the 8th track, »Village in May« is a blues folk track, still somehow classically arranged for two guitars.
This is a release that needs different listens to reveal all different hidden aspects. The result surely is beautiful.

Tantadruj Ljubljana, Slovenia

Tantadruj is a Slovenian music group founded in 1986. They perform folk music. Tantadruj can be placed on the extreme edge of pop, as it also intertwines elements of other genres, such as blues, classical and world music. Tantadruj is a lovely combination of music and poetry, which preserves the spirit of folk songs with a creative approach that places old poems in a modern perspective. ... more
