about

Recorded on analogue tape at Clouds Hill in Hamburg, the sophomore album by Lusitanian Ghosts sees the collective abandon the usual rock n roll format - no six strings were harmed in the making of this record. It's all Chordophone violas from Portugal, namely the viola Amarantina, Braguesa, Campaniça and Terceira, played by the Lusitanian Ghosts collective including Neil Leyton (Canada/Portugal), Micke Ghost (Sweden - the first Swede to play the viola Amarantina!), Vasco Ribeiro Casais aka OMIRI (Portugal), Abel Beja (USA/Portugal, viola Terceira from the Azores), João Sousa on drums (sometimes replacing the snare with the Portuguese square drum Adufe) and Jan-Eric Olson on bass. But not just bass! Janne borrowed O Gajo's viola Campaniça for some extra dark licks. Chordophone rock n roll, Alt-Folk, Urban-Country-Folk, however it gets labelled what should come across are the humanist messages in these songs.
