Post Description

AMAROK?s style is quite different from the current Spanish Progressive rock movement, thanks to their tone. Led by multi-instrumentalist Robert SANTAMARIA, this mainly acoustic band uses a variety of instruments, like the guitar, oboe, violin, piano, didgeridoo, tabla, saxophone, organ, drums and percussions. Mireia SISQUELLA?s clear voice creates sound-scapes characterised by their simplicity and calm, and this makes her the counterpart of Portuguese singer Teresa SALGUEIRO (MADREDEUS). Some keyboards rhythm sequences are the basis for the superb melodies pictured by the vocals, in a peaceful atmosphere between ENYA?s acoustic new-age, L?ENSEMBLE RAYE?s minimalist chamber rock and IN THE LABYRINTH?s ethnic musics (Apart from the Indian references). The 2004 album, called "Quentadharken", polishes the formula, getting even closer to perfection. What could be nicer than following the music in its travels without leaving one?s chair ?
