About group
Amala
Group Amala
is a group of professional musicians, that come from
various different styles, experiences and music backgrounds.
Primarily, the group was formed
to preserve the reach gipsy music
heritage and to make another step by making modern arrangements
and joining and mixing it with
other styles. The first CD from
1997 was well accepted. Not only by gipsy music
fans, that see Amala as a modern aproach to this music being
something very interesting, but also jazz and latino
fans, which look for new
sounds and fresh melodies and harmonies. And that is exactly
where group Amala is the strongest.
Musicians, that played for many
years different styles, from jazz, rock, funk to latino
and classical music, joined their
knowledge and melt together gipsy
tradition and modern music language.
At home and abroad Amala is performing on regular basis, doing concerts
and participating on various festivals. In 1998 Amala won the
first place on international festival in Poland,
in May 2000 the group took part
on a similar festival in Prague.
Every year Amala is taking part in international Ethno and World
music festivals all over Europe.
This year was the fourth
time since Amala is performing in Cankarjev
dom, our biggest house of culture.
Since 2000 the group collaborates with the chamber
orchestra Simfo. The members of
Simfo are at the same time also
members of Orchestra of Ljubljana's Opera house, Slovene philharmonic society, Big Bend and
Symphony Orchestra of Radio and Television
of Slovenija. The founder of Simfo
orchestra is the leader of Amala,
Imer Traja Brizani. His projects are a fusion of different
latino and jazz elements. Presently he is adding to gipsy music also
the elements of classical music.
Skupina Amala
Smo
profesionalni glasbeniki, ki sestavljamo skupino Amala.
Skupina je bila ustanovljena leta 1996 z namenom, da bi ohranila in
nadaljevala bogato romsko glasbeno dediščino in jo predstavila na modernejši in
sodobnejši način. Glasbeniki, ki smo skupino ustanovili, smo se po petnajstih
letih profesionalnega igranja popa, funka in jazza,
vrnili k svojim koreninam. Prvo CD ploščo iz leta 1997 je občinstvo sprejelo z
zanimanjem. Očarala je tudi ljubitelje jazza in popa, saj skozi tradicionalne
in avtorske skladbe veje veter južne Francije, Španije in Turčije, ki je
pomešan z obilico prvin jazza in ostalih sodobnih stilov.
Skupina Amala
je zanimiva predvsem zato, ker napoveduje razvoj sodobne romske glasbe. Da bi
ostala aktualna, se spogleduje tudi z drugimi glasbenimi stili. Dober primer
takšnega spogledovanja je latino glasba, ki je
trenutno najbolj priljubljena etno-pop glasba na
svetu. Skupina Amala združuje tako tradicijo bogatih
ritmov in prvobitnega melosa, kot tudi znanje drugih
žanrov, aranžiranja in poustvarjanja. Od leta 2000 skupina sodeluje tudi s
komornim orkestrom Simfo, katerega člani igrajo v
orkestru Ljubljanske opere, Slovenske filharmonije, Big
Bendu RTV Slovenija in Simfoničnem orkestru RTV
Slovenija. Ustanovitelj tega orkestra je vodja skupine Amala,
Imer Traja Brizani, ki v
novejših projektih, poleg latino in jazz elementov,
romski glasbi dodaja tudi pridih elementov klasične glasbe.
Skupina
se redno predstavlja na samostojnih koncertih in festivalih po Sloveniji in na
tujem. Leta 1998 je zmagala na festivalu romske glasbe na Poljskem, v novi
postavi pa je debutirala na podobnem festivalu v
Pragi. Vsako leto se Amala udeležuje mednarodnih etno in World music
festivalov po vsej Evropi. Že četrto leto zapored Amala
nastopa na velikem odru Cankarjevega doma, največjega kulturnega hrama v
Sloveniji.
