cd cover Els Berros de la Cort
(Galileo - Nufolk)

This is a Spanish street-theater ensemble, so the translation to the non-visual medium is a tricky one, but they succed quite well on this self-titled recording. They focus on Medieval music with period instruments, but approach it with a modern eye and wit, and this raw music really does give you a feeling for the streets it was born on.

Press release
"Els Berros de la Cort" is formed by a group of people coming from several companies belonging to live music, theatre and performances in the street - Trastobilis Teatre, Tripijoc, Grallers de la Muralla, Música Tradicional, Zitzània, Perpetrat, Diables de l'Onyar...- aiming to discover new ways for street performances. So, we decided, based on our individual experiences, to carry out a research on playing medieval music with the original instruments but with a new aproach based on today's knowledge of music.

As from 1993 we have been applying new patterns to medieval stagging and music; so,in 1997 we produced "Music and legends of medieval Europe", released in 1998 at "Terra de Trobadors" in Castellò d'Empuries. In the course of the following consecutive years we again participated in that festival with "The farce of the kings' nominations" and "The Wizard's Wits", always in street performances, live, with music as the subject and main essence of the pageant.

As from 2001 we consolidated ourselves as a musical itinerant show with a repertoire made of poignant medieval adaptations, so mighty and joyful as "Els Berros de la Cort".

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.
