Carlos Nuņez and Anabel - O pozo de aran
Country - Spain Players - Frank & Tristan
Ayer, entre sueños
lo vi tan claro soñé, un lugar un pozo sagrado soñé, que mi hijo estaba curado y hablé con aquella anciana llorando: Mi niño en la mirada tiene la noche infinita, el pozo que tu sueñas esta en Arán en la gran isla. CHORUS Hoy verás la luz que inunda todo, verás porfin el sol sobre nosotros, verás el cielo grande,azul y limpio, vas a ver donde se unen cielo y mar, en la vida en tus ojos. Sabes es dificil aunque quisiera CHORUS |
Yesterday, between dreams I saw it so clearly
CHORUS Today you will see the light that floods everything, I know it is difficult even if I wanted CHORUS |
Player's comments: | O POZO DE ARAN is the version in Gallician of the song
EL POZO DE ARÄN. I jope you like it more than the version in Spanish.
It was meant to pay an hommage to Galice and the ecoplogical disaster. Nunca
mais! (Never more!)
CARLOS NUÑEZ playing style and school is a landmark in Galicia's piping. Playing bagpipe since he was eight years old, he learned not only from Galician bagpipers, but also got interested in Scottish and Irish piping. He is also a superb recorder player whose skills can only be believed after hearing him. Carlos Nuñez works include fruitful and frequent collaboration with artists like The Chieftains (whom with he recorded the sound track of The Treasure Island at the age of 18), Sinead O'Connor and many others in his last record. I have not much information about the former Carlos Nuñez, Matto Congrio. After the disappearing of this band, he started his own project, in which he collaborated with musicians from Spain and abroad and recorded music from traditional Galician sources, and music composed for this work. Carlos Nuñez´s most succesful record, A Irmandade das Estrelas (The Stars' Brotherhood) is a must. It includes collaborations from international artists such as Nightnoise, The Chieftains, Ry Cooder and Dulce Pontes, and other collaborations from Spanish performers as Luz Casal (a rock singer), the guitar player Tino di Geraldo and Kepa Junquera (an outstanding player of trikitixa, the Basque diatonic accordion). ANABELA is one of the artists who Nuñez has collaborated with. She sang three songs in his last record, called "Mayo Longo". SHe is well known for entering ESC in 1993 representing Portugal. She has a wonderful voice and after 2 albums in pop she went into fado
(3 albums) and now she is playing the role of Eliza Dolittle in Lisboa
in the musical play MY FAIR LADY. She had a little success in a promotional
tour with Nuñez across Spain but she has still to be much recognized
and put in a higher place. |
