It will always be a pleasure for me remembering the time I met these two beautiful people.
It happened almost two years ago, when the duo came in Italy to perform music from their fifth album Cervantine (2011). And there was a moment, during the end of the show, when they both got down from the stage to play in the middle of a circle, young people had formed dancing sweat and full of joy!
The performances of their live soundtrack around Europe to the 1964 film Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors by Georgian-born Armenian film director Sergei Parajanov, inspired the duo to take their tribute to the film further away, using traditional Ukrainian music as a trampoline for new variations and themes.
Containing dialogues and parts of the movie, the new album You Have Already Gone to the Other World (2013) is a wild journey, and a shame not to be enjoyed by the masses.
'But my take on folk music is that it's evolving and changing, it is a living thing. As far as our music, we're kind of rootless wanderers, we're affected by all sorts of music, not only Eastern European music, and these things come up in our music so it's very mixed.
We're just musicians who are doing what we love and doing what we feel we should be doing. The authenticity thing is, if you're looking for it, you won't find it with what we're doing. I guess our music is authentically A Hawk And A Hacksaw'. Jeremy Barnes
