Testi profondi, che invitano alla riflessione. Ci si immerge nella magica atmosfera africana, parole di protesta contro un mondo specchio del consumismo … Note di una dolcezza struggente, che raccontano delle difficili condizioni di vita degli ultimi, in una scala di valori che merita di essere riveduta. Andrea Antonietti, - Il Resto del Carlino, 7 aprile 2007
...O musico, que està em Luanda para a divulgação do seu trabalho discografico, teve grande aceitação do publico angolano... - Jornal de Angola, Nov. 3rd 2006
It’s a weirdly wonderful mish-mash of different styles and sounds, with a dollop of addictive African chants thrown in for interesting measure. - this was called Gods of music, they closed down. Dead as a Dodo, I'd say! ;-)
Discography
We have released our first album "Les Nations Unies" in March 2007. It has been recorded in Angola and in Italy, and it features 12 songs plus 4 bonus tracks.
We' ve been published in 4 indie compilations, and are about to be distributed digitally. We've received airplay from various Italian and foreign tv's and radios (Brazil, Angola, Portugal, Italy, Austria, USA...) .
In our album "Les Nations Unies" you'll find marimbas, african choruses, surdos, violin, berimbau, kissange, flute and guitars. A bit of Italian music, a tiny taste of the Mauritius island, a full spoon of Angolan gindungo, add plenty of Brazilian flavourings, sprinkle some Old Europe, a touch of Latino spiced up with some Mediterranean feel.
Now you're done: this is the marvellous world of Dodo Reale!
