Chorè!
Is a live CD made in a recoding studio. We preferred to record it all, all together. We feel it is better that way and that the listener is aware of it. Perhaps it’s not perfect but it’s human. We have kept post-recording additions to a minimum.
All the lyrics are traditional. As to the music, to tell the truth, we do not know where the tradition ends and our compositions begin, because we are traditional musicians in mind and heart. However, following contemporary copyright custom, we have, against our better selves, labelled some titles “traditional”, others “by Nistanimera”.
Nistanimera, the group formed by Ettore Castagna, in Calabrian Greek means “night and day” and refers to the uninterrupted flow of time. It is a modality which permits the dream to enter the reality, a particular way of experiencing time as both joy and pain. The group comprises musicians from southern Calabria and the Salento, with various experiences in the fields of research and revival in these two cultural-geographical areas.
