Boi Akih Entangled & Voices of the Moluccas
Advertisement
Double bill by dynamic duo and multi-voice collective around Moluccan song.
_
Vocalist Monica Akihary and guitarist and composer Niels Brouwer have been exploring new paths together as Boi Akih since 1997. They keep looking for new forms, with catchy songs flowing seamlessly into free improvisation. Entangled(recently released on Enja Records), their eleventh album, is about the bigger picture: the interdependence of people and nature and the fragility of that relationship. The music draws freely on many styles, but always comes into being in the moment. It lives in the tension between composition and improvisation, where spontaneity brings urgency and intensity and an underlying structure provides a foothold.
