Ialma

六位源自西班牙加利西亞(Garlicia)文化的女子，手持鈴鼓，齊唱女性歌謠，揚起裙擺，鞋跟隨歌節(jié)奏，是怎樣的風景？大約只有西班牙民歌La Tarara中描寫的仙子搖曳下山的豐姿可比擬。女性群歌，喚起靈魂深處的共鳴，雅瑪(lama;靈魂)因而得其名。這群有著血源關系的加利西亞女性，居于比利時，卻在古老的克爾特民歌文化里尋根尋認同。
不同于西班牙其它地域的男性歌謠文化，加利西亞有許多女性獨享的歌謠，共通著世界各地傳統(tǒng)女歌的內(nèi)涵：女性的渴望、情欲、傷心、閑話。
“雅瑪”的合唱，不同于美聲演唱，她們尖拔起嗓子，邊歌邊舞邊搖鈴鼓(panderireta)，帶出純粹的加利西亞民歌傳統(tǒng)美學。加利西亞風笛(gaita)與手風琴只引領簡潔的旋律線條，沒有綴飾的花邊，直線進行的加利西亞女歌傳統(tǒng)，是我們遺忘已久樸拙樂聲之美。雅瑪歌樂中搖擺起的女性美麗身段，如沃土中自然生長、伸展姿態(tài)的花，無可壓抑地綻開。
ialma is a group of 5 young women settled in Brussels. These singers have been gathering traditional songs of their ancestors from Galicia (Spain) for quite a few years. After they released their first a capella cd ? Palabras darei ?, their second one ? Marmuladas ?, where Galician melodies blend with arrangements of Belgian musicians, Ialma carries on with passing on its songs in a style of its own, varying from authentic to modern styles which create some seductive and festive modern music .
Conducted by Ad Cominotto, Ialma innovates in its third album covering a song of the ? Red Hot Chili Peppers ? band in the purest Galician traditions thanks to the collaboration of former female singers in this song entitled ? Lévame ?. An amazing initiative for a ? Nova era ?, a new generation of the Galician tradition.
