[@aspindler2669]

Where to start!?!? The flawless harmonies.....their rhythmic synchronism and ability to stay completely in-check when transitioning from one awesome tempo to another.....the raw and pure energy that seems to pour out of them effortlessly.....and all this delivered in acapella with percussion instruments only. Brilliant!!!! 🙌👏👏👏👏

[@cynthiafoster6381]

That was so phenomenal, there is nothing I can liken it too. Beautiful beyond comprehension. Think I just experienced every emotion there is. OMG. Completely overwhelmed by how magnificent they are. Have fallen in love with a group I never heard of before. San Salvador Musique. Remember their name.

I don't understand a word.... but I can understand the music the feeling and the spirit! Cheers from Greece

[@IAmFat1968]

for the 2nd song "Vous les gens qui sont endormis, la grande folie c'est de dormir sans souci", don't know really if it's French or Occitan, the translation could be "you sleeping people, the great madness is to sleep without worry"

[@samthebagpiper]

@@IAmFat1968 it's occitane, it's half ancient nord italic and ancient french d'oc

[@IAmFat1968]

@@samthebagpiper sure but this sentence could be in French too

[@l.m.e.tmusic7694]

They say both "vous les gens que siatz endurmits" (Oc) and "vous les gens qui sont endormis" (Fr) at some point in the song, the rest is in Occitan from what I heard, here is the first verse the solist sings : "La divinitat a pres per sa companha la nòstra humanitat" (the divinity took our humanity as companion), then "enfants de la campanha" (children of the countryside)

[@francisdelor4374]

Quel talent , quelle énergie! Ils sont parfaits. J'adore!

[@PranavSharma2504]

Wow! Didn't expect that! Feels like so much energy is focused in a laminar flow. The variations sound so nice, they keep you hooked even though you can't understand anything they say. Thanks for this lovely performance. 🙏 I'm glad KEXP brings exposure to such culturally different forms of music

[@emmanuelbriand1]

They say, in french : You, the sleeping people, it's a great madness to sleep without worry (x100)

[@Dulyman7]

I know a bit of Catalan, and it’s really interesting to hear Occitan and understand some of it. This set is so good.

[@NibsUK2121]

I'm going to see them live later today. I just watched this video to get a feel of what to expect. They sound great - music from lots of wider Europe keep drifting across my ears. I'm so pumped to the to the gig now !

[@jurajpetrovic1578]

How was it?

[@NibsUK2121]

​@@jurajpetrovic1578 They did not disappoint! It was ~85 mins of joy. I did wonder before the show if they varied the arrangement of the performers, perhaps some people doing solos, duets, etc. but no, all six performed for every song and I wondered after 2 songs if they could be hold the audience that way for a whole performance, but yes they certainly can. Not sure how 6 voices and 2 drums can be so gripping, and so many little sections of the songs brought other music styles to mind, including Bulgarian folk and even at one point some Bollywood soundtracks. There were 2 long songs that I just did not want to have end, but did with flourish. And, not to forget some very humorous banter in a 2nd (3rd, 4th?) language that they either haven't strong skills in or pretend not to have. Standing ovations after the "last" song and (sadly just) one (beautiful) encore. Would thoroughly recommend catching if you can.

[@jurajpetrovic1578]

@@NibsUK2121 Thank you for the concert report, glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, as much as I love them, 85 minutes does seem a bit too much considering it's just vocals and drums, I would've expected an hour, but I'm impressed they can go for so long cause it does seem physically exhausting. I'd love to catch them some day. I'm from Croatia, and they played in Slovenia (which is close to me) in september of 2020, but it was during the 2nd wave of COVID and travelling was made very difficult so I couldn't go.

[@kmcgintyjohnston]

We saw them perform in Lafayette, Louisiana last April at the Festival International. They were amazing. We went to both of their performances - just incredible.

Énorme ! Je pense que les gens qui mettent un "dislike" ont de l'eau dans la tête !

Quelle énergie, quelle beauté, et quelle exigence dans le travail derrière tout ce qu'ils/elles nous offrent ! Une preuve de plus que la qualité et la création sont souvent plus présente hors des sentiers battus que dans les usines à tubes ultra-marketés ;)
