Description
'Defixiones, Will And Testament' is DIAMANDA GALÁS' first release since 1998' Malediction and Prayer', which is accompanied by a beautifully presented 58 page booklet.
On this album she investigates the little known Armenian, Assyrian and Greek genocides carried out by Turkey between 1914 and 1923, with the singer articulating the anger and sorrow of the dispossessed through the words of exiled poets and writers alongside her own texts.
Galás covers a whole lot of ground in a Babel of languages with adaptations of poems by Belgian writer HENRI MICHAUX, Romanian-Jewish PAUL CELAN and Italian filmmaker PIER PAOLO PASOLINI and more.
The set is sung by Galás accompanying herself on piano, tape and a minimum of electronics, though you'd be forgiven for thinking that there are more of her out there coming at you from all sides.
