Dead Can Dance - 'Kiko'

[@rlionheart8657]

Music is mysterious. It has a magical power that transcends time and space.

[@lucemaillet630]

Especially Dead can dance transcends time and space

[@KujieSama]

For anyone wondering, this is zeibekiko rhythm. Very common in older Greek and Turkish music.

[@deadreckoner5276]

Do you know what language it is?

[@KujieSama]

@@deadreckoner5276 Lisa Gerrard is singing in her own language. This process is called "glossolalia" (Greek word actually) :) She always sings from her soul.

[@David-gh6vp]

@@KujieSama It is a spiritual language which connects to the immediate, having no grounds in human convention. It is not at all dissimilar to "speaking in tongues" to connect with Our Higher Self/God. As such it is beyond earthy languages and is [I feel] very nearly telepathic.

I have always loved DCD, everything they have done is amazing. And will be an inspiration for generations to come. Kiko is such a haunting melody it carries me away to an ancient desert in an ancient landscape. so power

[@Barnikel1]

DCD never fails to transport into another, almost chthonian realm, traversing various otherworldly landscapes. True magic.

So glad I discovered Dead can dance today. I feel like I will listen to them a lot

[@marksocha9113]

You could spend a lifetime and maybe still not hear everything they've done there's such a volume of musical works. I've followed them since 88-89 and still manage to find new works and new versions of old songs on youtube. They could literally have there own xm channel.

Welcome to the journey.

[@gabrielsimoens1678]

A vocal and instrumental masterpiece for endless listening! Thank you Dead can Dance.

[@dimitriossin8435]

Kiko from the Greek word ''Zeibekiko'' which is the 9/8 traditional dance .A masterpiece of a song .

[@lucianocatarin9176]

My God,this Is One the most emotional track i ever heard,huuuuuuuuuuuuge spiritual goosebumps

[@singularitysky6447]

Yes my friend... exactly this. BTW this sound will be as majestic as it is now.. in many years to come.

[@thestarlitwaters]

This is probably my favourite DCD track of all time. From the rhythm to all the elements, instruments. The break after the extended bridge at 5:24 always gets me to tears when the strings come in. It's like sinking into a warm bath that is most likely akin to getting back into the womb where all is right on an existential level. Followed by a magnificent solo that soothes the worst traumas.

[@WaterSong432]

Great descriptive❣️

[@stamOSB]

This 9/8 rhythm and especially the instrumental part after 5.24 is very similar in sound and melody to greek dance/rhythm of zeibekiko! (the title perhaps comes from that...). A masterpiece! (like many others form DCD...)

[@messynthwave80s27]

For me it's the best song from DCD. What a goosepumps. My dream, someday, will be to stay at Cliffs of Moher, in a cloud weather and listenig this song. How I desire it!!!!

[@KujieSama]

Beautiful place! I have a similar wish but for somewhere in a special Ionian island in Greece, where Ulysses was king...

[@malenaix69]

Beautiful melody, have seen them live twice, once in Thessaloniki and once in Herodium Theatre in Athens. Truly magical. Bouzouki here used is similar to many greek traditional music pieces.

[@alastorknoxx9268]

Truly a remarkable piece, love the bouzouki that Brendan plays very well, it gives a very Greek feel to the piece, can't stop listening to it either!

[@Cologne.1948]

I think it's sounds more like a Morocco night, out in the desert, clear sky and a soft cold wind..

[@marksocha9113]

[@diecast4556]

Arabic you mean...its sounds middle eastern imo..

[@travellingengineer4509]

@@diecast4556 Actually it combines both Anatolian and Greek music. Possibly a way to search for the connecting point between them

[@KujieSama]

Of course it does, this is zeibekiko rhythm, which is very common in older greek and turkish music :)

divine beauty 🔱 thank you so much dead can dance

[@BrainletReviews]

I just heard this on the radio and I honestly thought this was a prog rock song from the 60s - 70s at first..... the fact something this raw and mysterious sounding was made in 2012 is actually blowing my mind.

[@theodoredimitriadis4326]

The beat of this song is based on the Greek “zeimbekiko” a very popular music genre in Greece with “bouzouki” as the lead organ. Here is played at a slower tempo,hence the name of the song zeimbe - kiko -.

[@keysersoze213]

z e i b e k i k o

[@keysersoze213]

or z e y b e k how the turks call it!

[@keysersoze213]

and last: it's not a music genre, it's a dance style! the music played to is called r e m b e t i k o ! ! !

[@markduffield8110]

May the creator bless all Greeks what a fabulous ancient people they are

[@Itsyrm8]

Havent figured out yet if zeimbekiko is a dance of submission or pride. (It is danced with the head hanging down). Turkey and Greece PEACE!

[@jessicachludz]

As another user pointed, the bouzoki, specially by the end of the song... it's so beautiful, can make one cry

[@Cragiesea]

bouzouki is the Irish Mandolin. it's just like the little baby verson with a full elongated neck. Glad you understand and appreciate it's Beauty fine Lass!

[@jessicachludz]

Thanks :D

[@ash23neuro]

I saw them performing it live and it was first time I heard "Kiko". Bouzouki solo (starts around 5:30) made me shiver.
