Otvara ga prva pesma Alvorada de Montesinho. Čujemo cvrkut ptica, dok im se priključuju gajde. U pozadini se probija zvuk bubnja. Stvara mistiku oko nas. Uživamo. Melodija kao stvorena. Prelazimo na drugu numeru Jota da Fraga. Bubanj i gajde počinju svoj ples. Opušteni smo i to nam jako prija. Svojim ritmom vode nas do treće pesme Baile dos Caretos. Tu u jednom momentu na samom početku pesme čujemo i vokal na kratko, što nas posebno raduje. Prave dobru melodiju i savršeno kombinuju tradicionalne instrumente. To čine isto i sa numerama Ritos ao Luar i Nas Maos do Medo. Stvaraju svoj pagan ritual i mi u tome u potpunosti uživamo. Prepuštamo se njihovoj muzici. Muzika za ritualnu igru, ples kao stvorena je. Naše putovanje Kelto - Iberijom se nastavlja. Upoznajemo svoje pretke, predele starog vremena. Šesta numera A Flor do Mondego je upravo počela. Vodi nas zvuk gajdi. Ton je pomalo tužan, ali prija. Igramo. Već smo u sedmoj pesmi Urze de Lume. Jedna kratka numera sa bržim melodijama. Momci stvaraju nestvarne tonove. Ritual i dalje traje. Odlična numera. U osmoj smo pesmi Repasseado da Urze. Nastavljamo istim tempom i prelazimo na devetu pesmu Corridinho Transmontano. Sada se već melodije ne mogu rečima opisati , jer su tako fantastične. Zvuk se razliva oko nas. Gajde i doboš nas vode u destu pesmu Arnade. Zastali smo i sa oduševljenjem nastavljamo slušanje. Te melodije zvuče fantastično i prosto nam ne daju mira. Tako je i u sledećoj jedanaestoj pesmi Ibéria Oculta. To okultno je svuda oko nas. Okruženi smo njime. Spremamo se i prinosimo žrtvu. Opet spominjemo naše pretke. I dalje uživamo. Od sredine pesme tonovi su brži i mi igramo. Nose nas melodije rituala koju bend stvara. Došli smo i do pretposlednje pesme Cornos das Alturas. Doboš najavljuje početak i poziv na ritualni ples. Stanje svesti je nestvarno. Melodija koju gajde prozivode je odlična. Bend nas svojim tonovima čini zadovoljnim. Približavamo se poslednjoj numeri Tempestade. Opet taj predivni zvuk gajdi. Kako savršenu melodiju stvaraju. Gde je ovaj bend bio sve ove godine. Pesma pomalo donosi i tužne melodije (lični utisak), baš kako i treba za sam kraj.

Utisci? Pre svega, drago mi je da sam uspostavio kontakt sa Ricardo-om i na taj način upoznao bend u kojem je on član. Urze de Lume je svojim prvim albumom spojio spojivo sa nespojivim. Naizgled, na prvi pogled nemoguće. Ali naprotiv Ibéria Oculta, koja je pred nama pokazuje da je sve moguće. Album prepun mistike Iberijskog poluostrva. Album koji poštuje tradicije, kulturu i upravo svojom muzikom čuva ih od zaborava. Album koji svakako morate imati u svojoj kolekciji. Meni još ostaje da ih uživo čujem i da dodatno uživam u njihovom ritualu. Do sledeće recenzije njihovog novog albuma, ostajte dobro!

Urze de Lume - Ibéria Oculta, (2012.)

Iberia. Celtic heritage. Music and heritage. All this is packed into the debut album of the band from Portugal, Urze de Lume, Iberia Oculta. Physical release was done at an extremely mystical way, contains thirteen songs and instrumental character.

It opened with the first song Alvorada de Montesinho. We hear the birds chirping, while they are connected bagpipes. In the background the sound of the drum breaks. Creates a mystique around us. We enjoy. Created as a Melody. Moving on to another track Jota to Fraga. Drums and bagpipes start their dance. We're cool, and to be very good. Its rhythm lead us to the third song Baile dos Caretos. Here at one point at the very beginning we hear songs and vocals in short, makes us happy. They make a good melody and a perfect combination of traditional instruments. To do the same with tracks Ritos ao Luar and Nas Maos do Medo. Create your pagan ritual that we fully enjoyed. Give in to their music. Music for the play ritual, dance as it is created. Our journey Kelt - Iberia continues. We learn about their ancestors, parts of old times. The sixth track A Flor do Mondego has just begun. Take us to the sound of bagpipes. The tone is a little sad but good. We play. We are already in the seventh song Urze de Lume. One short track with faster tunes. The boys create unrealistic tones. The ritual continues. Excellent track. The eight songs we Repasseado da Urze. We continue at the same pace and move on to the ninth song Corridinho Transmontano. Now more melodies are no words to describe, because they are so stunning. Sound is poured around us. Bagpipes and drum us into song Arnado. We stopped and enthusiastically continue listening. These tunes sound fantastic and simply do not give us peace. So it is in the next eleven songs Iberia Oculta. This occult is all around us. We are surrounded by it. We are getting ready and we offer sacrifice. Again mention our ancestors. I still enjoy. Since mid-song tones are faster and we're playing. Nose us ringing ritual that the band creates. We have come to the penultimate song Cornos das Alturas. Drum announces the start of the call to the ritual dance. Situation awareness is unreal. Melody by bagpipes motorways is excellent. Bend makes us happy. Approaching the final numerical Tempestade. Again that wonderful sound of bagpipes. How to create the perfect melody. Where is this band was all these years. The song brings a bit sad melody (personal impression), just as it should to the very end.

Tips? First of all, I'm glad that I made contact with Ricardo and thus met the band in which he is a member. Urze de Lume is their first album merged compatible with incompatible. Seemingly, the seemingly impossible. But contrary Iberia Oculta, which is before us shows that anything is possible. Album full of mysticism Iberian Peninsula. Album that respects the traditions, culture and just his music keeps them from oblivion. Album that you have in your collection. For me just m, stand still good!
