Inviting old friends and collaborators for the record from various corners of the earth, the record introduces the notion of an inter-connected global 21st century folk music scene. If songs were landscapes, the album would takes us from the city to the plains and from the metropolis to the mountains and deserts and into the oceans beyond.
The album showcases the craft of many remarkable songwriters and musicians. Unreleased and exclusive to the compilation are tracks by Ben Harper, Dawn Landes, Emily Barker, young Swedish songwriting prodigy Jenny Lysander, Horsedreamer (Roger Robinson of King Midas Sound’s solo venture) and Les Fils du Calvaire, the French language incarnation of electro producers dOP, to name but a few.
There are also tracks on the compilation by several artists signed to Beating Drum whose songs are produced, arranged and often co written by Faccini. Horsedreamer, Yelli Yelli and Jenny Lysnader make up the collaborative projects that the label intends for release in 2015, while the Barzilian Dom La Nena and Neapolitan Gnut, whose debut albums Faccini also produced, provide songs.
If The Many Are One were a mask, it would be one that transforms in shape and colour with each voice that sings through it. A mask of many tongues, English, French, Kabyle, Bambara, Salentino, Napoletano and Portuguese spin a kaleidoscopic blend of voices and languages throughout the compilation. The album also highlights a rich variety of traditional and instrumental sounds. There are Malian n’gonis in BKO Quintet’s Dunsolu, a solo viole d’amour played by the Tunisian virtuoso Jasser Haj Youssef’s as well as the polyphonic vocals and pipes of the southern Italians Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino.

5 track tribute to the talented singer Lhasa De Sela:

1) Live recording of Lhasa Del Sela as she sings Fairuz's adaptation of the poem by Khalil Gibran 'The Nay/ A´tini  Al-nay /  اعطني الناي

أعطني الناي وغني, فالغنا سر الوجود وأنين الناي يبقى, بعد أن يفنى الوجود هل إتخذت الغاب مثلي, منـزلاً دون القصور فتتبعت السواقي, وتسلقت الصخور هل تحممت بعطره, وتنشفت بنور وشربت الفجر خمراً, من كؤوس من أثير هل جلست العصر مثلي, بين جفنات العنب والعناقيد تدلت, كثريات الذهب هل فرشت العشب ليلاً, وتلحفت الفضاء زاهداً في ما سيأتي, ناسياً ما قد مضى أعطني الناي وغني, وانسى داء ودواء إنما الناس سطورٌ, كتبت لكن بماء 

Give me the Nay and sing, /The secret song of eternity. /The laments of the Nay will linger /Beyond the decline of existence.

Have you, like me, /Chosen the forest dwelling /Rather than the castle? /Have you followed the stream /And climbed the rocks? /Have you anointed your body /With fragrance distilled in light? /Have you been drunk with dawn /In the goblets full of pure air?

Have you, like me,/ Sat down at dusk,/ Among the glowing languor/ Of vines laden with grapes? /Have you lain down on the grass at night /And covered yourself with heavens, /Opening your heart to the future, /Forgetful of the past?

Give me the Nay and sing, /The song in tune with hearts. /The laments of the Nay will linger  /Beyond the fading of sins. Give me the Nay and sing, /Unmindful of troubles and cures. /For each man /Is nothing more than a watercolor sketch.

2) Bia Krieger con Lhasa de Sela in 2008 singing "Los hermanos" (A. Yupanqui)

3) Lhasa De Sela live on piano singing her own "I'm Going In" (Toronto, 2006)

4) Lhasa De Sela "La Confession," live acoustic recording from France during tour of Living Road album in 2003

5) Studio recording of her song "Where do you go" (2009, self-titled album).

I started out as a painter writing music on the side and then I ended up writing songs and painting on the sly. If my songs were maps I'd want them to stretch from the English moors to the Saharan dunes via the plains of the Mediterrannean.
Most of the time, I release my music on my own label Beating Drum.
I've collaborated with many wonderful artists and musicians over the years, amongst them, Vincent Segal, Ballake Sissoko, Ben Harper, Ibrahim Maalouf and Rokia Traore and more.

Beating Drum is an Independent record label run by @Piers-Faccini.
Masters of eclecticism we create lovingly made objects that bring together music, art and writing.
