It is always difficult for us answering the question: What are your musical inspirations. We are all interested in different kind of styles and bands, however some bands are in fact a great source of inspiration. I would like here to introduce a band that is quite well known in France for the 70's lovers, but maybe less known in the UK: Malicorne. This band was using old songs, poems or melodys from the medieval age, and turned them into marvelous music with their own style. Extremely talented musicians and singers, they keep surprising you with great interpretations. Going from accapella to electric guitars backing up an ancient psycheldelic instrument, their approach of the medieval music is unique. Although the beautiful lyrics are obviously french, I still think that anyone can enjoy the beauty of the songs without understanding. Judge by yourself with this track from one of my favourite album from them: Branle la peronelle.
Portnawak & The Woo is a musical ensemble, playing a unique blend of gypsy folk hop, psychedelic tribal bounce music and organic punk......with the added element of Woo!
Malicorn? Never heard of them.
