Gai Saber
Troubar R'Oc
$16.99
This is the first recording by a unique band based in Italy. Gai Saber fuses the ancient and the modern into a whole new thing. Their three recordings all feature a solid "rock" lineup of guitars, bass and drums, but augment it with superior musicianship on ancient percussion, bagpipes, hurdy-gurdy and accordion.

| "The aim here is to ensure the popularity of Occitanic, and Gai Saber want you to move your ass. Chiara Bosonetto's voice is a wonder; one moment, she lingers over the beauty of songs that celebrate remote villages, and the next she is growling out lyrics in punk-like fashion. Adding to the potency is the superb hurdy-gurdy and pipe playing of Maurizio Giraudo. As a result, Gai Saber sound alternately Italian and French without being able to be pigeonholed as one or the other. Esprit de Frontiera is a compelling statement of cultural survival and border crossing that meets modern technology on its own terms." - Lee Blackstone, in his review of Espirit de frontera |

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
