A new take on  an original  lullaby from Macedonia by a wonderful Japanese composer/singersongwriter.

1 - Sweat Dreams Little Boy - Komori Uta

In remote villages through Macedonia, mothers and grandmothers sung acapela lullabies which were then reinterpreted by eleven artists worldwide, who by injecting a taste of their own musical heritage  in the new arrangements,  connected this obscure genre of Macedonia  musical culture with word audiences. 

The album will be released in mid-summer 2018.

IN  DISTRESS - WORKING DEMO

In the early decades of the 20th century Macedonain men  flooded American shores in search of better future and greater freedoms.

Leaving their wives and newborn behind, they left by the hundreds, sent off with songs and dances that are forever impregnated on the Macedonian cultural memory.  But hearing them, every American would identify with the emotions, the longing for love lost, the hope for a better life, the expectation of return… These songs are emotionally powerful, heart breaking, indelible, unforgettable.

Through its 10 new musical arrangements, that have been inspired by the original Macedonia folk melodies,   PARTINGS is a glimpse into that era, a brief moment of temporary immigrant wave of Macedonian men to the US, that documents a brief period of  Macedonian immigrant history and adds to the universal ethnic music memory.
