Nits cosides from Nits cosides by Mara Aranda

Després de tanta música perfumada de nocturnitat, Artaica confia l’esperança de la llum, ni que siga en forma de la “claror d’un cel de drap”, a la bellesa afandangada i secular de les valencianes per la de l’u, amb la melodia tradicional emmarcada per un piano cansat i un violí abrassiu que suggereixen els primers indicis de la matinada.

After all that nightly scented music, Artaica relays the hope of light -even in the form of ‘clarity of a cloth sky’- to the old fandango-like beauty of valencian ‘u’, with the tradicional melody framed by a tired piano and a burning violin suggesting the break of the day.
