WONDERFUL AFRICA
GALAEGALA
MITS – 2014
No doubt it is that of Franco un'Africano electronic etiquette that so ethereal and pristine dominates fertile lands, arid or even infected. An African exploration beyond the clouds, shooting from above but with the second track you down for a time along the banks of the Nile in search of the Pharaohs, whose mummies revived by consuming electronic groove invite the listener to perceive and live beyond boundaries of time. The wind Namibia sneaks into semi-desert climate, between the rainy seasons that the poignant melody of intersecting plane stresses in the atmospheres created by synthesizers. Franco along the Savannah illuminating lights cosmic, astral and ancestral chants generated by synthetic flutes but very real in melodic proposition that awakens the time beyond time. The fifth song is the turn of the cattle breeders who live in the highlands of Kenya and Tanzania. Yes ... they, the Masai. It seems that music chooses and describes, among the Masai, the Oloibon, ie the person in charge who knows the sacred rituals and is able to function as a medium for God, but also to bring the message of God to the people. Synthesizers driven by Franco fulfill the difficult role representative in describing the religious function dell'Oloibon and its social role. With the seventh song is "down" in Cape Town where the surgeon Barnard experienced his first heart transplants. Ethereal fades, avian chirps are drawn in an ambient context that appears the most fluent in the path of the album. But the atmosphere "ambient" continues in the tropical jungle, absolutely dreamy, describing vegetation lush and shouts and hisses of animals. The currently "dark" is not lacking in this album and emerges with its depth in the ninth song. 'A kind of prelude to the contemporary sounds of "Suffer Hunger" that infuse haunting and utterly profound sadness. But the album goes in the direction of "positive thinking" (positive thinking) ending with a hymn for a better future in which the wisdoms electronic-trance mix well to a progressive rock riffs flavors that seem to abandon Africa to twirl Nordic fjords to slyly seducing, of rare beauty. "Ecce cor meum" - here is my heart -pare say that Franco Etiquette synth dresses and invests our deep emotions with his music. (S. Glavina)
