Raíz Ibérica 24-25-26 de Junio de 2016 | SOLSTICIO DE VERANO SORIA ( Márgenes del Duero ) ENTRADA Y ACAMPADA GRATUITAS
Raíz Ibérica (Encuentros Contra el Mundo Moderno) es un festival que se desarrolla en plena naturaleza, un evento cultural que pretende fomentar y conservar el folclore de los pueblos que han poblado el solar ibérico y que dejaron su impronta sobre nuestra península. Un folclore muy rico y variado y, sobre todo, muy disperso, además de estar muy amenazado por la presión del mundo moderno.
Àrnica – Viejo Mundo Label: Percht Catalog#:Percht11 Format:CD, Digipak Style:Acoustic, Neofolk, Alpine Folk
The artist’s interests are deep rooted in the ancient Iberian culture and traditions. Their music is a mix of traditional Pyrenne Folk and heathen Battle and Hunting-songs. Their first fullength-album „Viejo Mundo“ is a tale narrated by an old man as his last legacy to a casual traveler. In a hut and near by fire the traveler will be the depositor of ancient knowledge about forgotten gods, wisdom of life, tradition and statements of war. All lyrics and singing is in spanish or catalan language. A wide range of instruments is used, on top of them accordion, guitars, drums and flutes. ÀRNICA creates wild and rural atmospheres, quite similar to their friends from STURMPERCHT, but just from the opposite part of the holy Alps.
Numancia was a small castro (name in Sapnish for celtiberian village). The inhabitants from Numancia fought against the Roman Empire for more than twenty years. It was 133 b.C. Roma sent their best military man called Escipion to create a siege and destroy Numancia so they could have controlled the entire peninsula. However, when the Romans entered the village, the survivors decided to kill their own children, set their own belongings on fire to end up with their own lives.
If the Empire controled Celtiberia they could not control their people. Musically Numancia is a invigorating trip from the magnificence of the village to the final decision of choose to die instead of being conquered. Solid drums and ritual elements are mixed with Heathen tunes the recognizable Ur-Folk sound. All texts are written and sung in Spanish and in the ancient Celtiberian language.
After this release to homage our ancestors, Àrnica will depart back to the vast mountains of the Pyrenees…
