Red Cardell. Narodzhennja. (Naitre) (Birth)

"Red Cardell" is a folk punk group from French Breton. In practice, it means that in their music they combine semi-acoustic rock and punk with Celtic folklore. It was so. But something has changed after the group visited Ukraine and performed at the festival "Kraina Mriy" – the horizons extended suddenly and interestingly. The musicians really liked Ukrainian folk music – as well as mastery of our performers of such music. In particular – mastery of "Hurtopravtsi". And it is not surprising – this is one of the best Ukrainian authentic singing groups. So, then that was simple: "Red Cardell" came back to Ukraine and recorded their best album for today. At participation of Ukrainian musicians – and, sure, using local musical material. But the experiment was not limited to this – "Red Cardell" wished to create an album open for the whole world. As a result, French chanson was mixed with African rhythms, Ukrainian authentic singing – with Oriental, Asian melodies, Celtic archaic – with elements of trip- and hip-hop. And all this together laughs, dances, gets a bit sad, makes love and is dissolved in the atmosphere of live street festival, in the naive and joyful flow. The flow grasps, surprises, carries away, scrolls the bright kaleidoscope – and leaves you on the coast. To have a bit of rest – and to dive again head over hills into this event, into this so diversified, and thus so happy – life...
