“Naveguei por sete mares Naveguei, naveguei Naufraguei nesta
saudade Renasci e voltei…”
Este pedaço de um verso de uma canção do repertório de XAILE
define, na sua essência, a atitude e a energia deste projecto
musical português contemporâneo: etno-cultural na sua raiz e na
sua consciência, lúdico na sua forma e na sua espectacularidade,
popular nos processos de comunicação e na abrangência do seu
espírito.
XAILE é música do fundo do nosso coração que, depois de naufragar
numa longa saudade, volta cheio de coisas novas para contar e
cantar: canções originais com propostas sonoras e cénicas vindas
de cá dentro de todos nós, sentidas e cantadas em português.
Xaile são LÍLIA, MARIE e BIA, três cantoras/instrumentistas, donas
de pessoalíssimas vozes e personalidades, acompanhadas por um
grupo de músicos e por múltiplos recursos audiovisuais, num
contexto performativo cheio de festa e de mistério, de força e de
sentimento, com uma linguagem poética e musical totalmente
portuguesa porém totalmente contemporânea, magia da música e da
terra, beleza que não só parece mas é.
Concebido e produzido por dois músicos/autores/produtores (Rufi e
J.J.Galvão), XAILE é Música Portuguesa Planetária (M.P.P.), feita
aqui para chegar a todo o lado.
“Enquanto se sonha que se é Para ser-se o que se sonha”
XAILE / M.P.P. (ENGLISH)
“I’ve sailed through seven seas, I’ve sailed and sailed, I’ve sunk
in this longing, I’m reborn and I’m back…”
This fragment of one of Xaile’s song’s lyrics defines, in its
essence, the approach and the energy of this portuguese
contemporary musical project: ethnical in its roots and awareness,
entertaining and spectacular in its shape, popular in its
comunication and the width of its spirit, avant-garde by the
authenticity of its speech, looking for its own voice, feet in the
past, hands in the present, let’s do it now, trying to exorcise a
few ghosts during the creative process, half opening the windows
to some angels of the future, “Sebastian sitting over there, by
the sea, unable to see the world changing…
Xaile is music from the profound of our hearts, once sunk in an
endless longing, now returning full of new things to tell and sing:
original songs with scenic and musical proposals coming from deep
inside all of us, felt and expressed in Portuguese, mixture of
memory and surprise, like a revived souvenir, sounding new but
tasting like ever, flutes/pipes/root drums/ guitars/cavaquinhos*/accordion
in one side, electronics and unexpected grooves in another.
Xaile are LÍLIA, MARIE and BIA, three singer-players owners of
very personal voices and personalities, unique and totally fresh,
like drinking water from the mountain top natural fountain. They
are backed by a group of musicians and by multiple audiovisual
resources, in an album and within a performing context plenty of
amusement and mistery, power and feeling, with a lyrical and
musical language very portuguese yet very universal, seducing your
eyes and your ears, cheering up your souls, magic from music and
from the planet, able to unite everything and everybody, beauty in
movement, not only it looks like it but it really is.
Conceived and produced by two musicians/composers/producers (Rufi
and JJGalvão) Xaile is Portuguese Planetary Music, made here to
get everywhere.
While you dream that you are To become what you dream…
