    Da fraga à penedia,
    Do córrego ao ribeiro,
    Da brisa à ventania,
    Da chispa à fogueira.

    “Bravios” invoca e convoca os mais ancestrais elementos que habitam a paisagem da alma portugalesa. Na sublime arte das musas, com maestria urdida, os Urze de Lume oferecem com destemor o seu sacro ofício num tributo ao imorredouro, à natureza naturante e naturada, coroando aquilo que é, em essência, verdadeiramente Real, porque incorruptível, porque indomável.

    Do cervo ao berrão,
    Da alcateia à vara,
    Do gamo ao trovão,
    Do monte à serrania.

    Pois este inspirado animismo sonoro brota de incriada nascente, dando de beber ao inquieto espírito, que saciado e silente se permite reverdecer. Entre bruma e breu se entreabrem os portais que conduzem ao arbóreo concílio do rei das árvores. Em telúrico cortejo se pontifica a soberania da terra, que com silvano espírito corpuscular se eleva ao firmamento, num serrano uivo que tudo expressa sem que uma única palavra seja proferida. No entanto, ainda assim tudo é bem-dito, pela bem-aventurada montesa vara que canta e cura.

    por Alexandre Gabriel


    For this inspired sonorous animism springs from an uncreated source, giving drink to the restless spirit, which, sated and silent, allows itself to grow green again. Between mist and gloom, the portals open that lead to the arboreal council of the king of trees. In a telluric procession, the sovereignty of the earth is pontificated, which with sylvan corpuscular spirit rises to the firmament, in a mountain howl that expresses everything without a single word being uttered. And yet, still, all is well-spoken, by the blessed woodland staff that sings and heals.

    On their third album, URZE DE LUME turn inwards for a soothing journey which illustrates not only departure, but also homecoming, meticulously setting to music memories imbued with both nostalgia and longing.

    “…The trees have grown dry and bare, as have I…”

    On their third album, URZE DE LUME turn inwards for a soothing journey which illustrates not only departure, but also homecoming, meticulously setting to music memories imbued with both nostalgia and longing.

    “As Árvores Estão Secas e Não Têm Folhas” is the second and final chapter of URZE DE LUME’s ode to Autumn, in a follow-up to the acclaimed “Vozes Na Neblina” EP released in early 2017.

    Although predominantly focused on guitar-based pieces, the leading role in “As Árvores…” is often taken over by the rebec, a bowed stringed instrument whose fiddle-like timbre brings forth an archaic, medieval-like, character to the album’s instrumental canvas, which further expands on occasion to include wind instruments, discreet percussions and bagpipes. The intentionally minimalist aesthetics seem to match the beauty of bare trees to perfection, yet URZE DE LUME’s use of multiple field recordings allows the hues of autumn to embed deeper into the music. Now and then, they turn also to narrated poetry to lead us further into the recesses of remembrance, urging the embrace of loss as one welcomes back nighttime, the cold, and a sense of void for times bygone that the arrival of Autumn inevitably brings about. This is the season where days start to run increasingly shorter and quieter, much like the lives of those to whom URZE DE LUME dedicates this solemn work.

    Bonds to both Nature and tradition are at the heart of the band’s rendition of Dark Folk, and both skillfully come together on this acoustic introspective incursion into life’s ever-looming solitude.

    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.
