Med traditionelle instrumenter, hverdagsobjekter og særegne vokalharmonier præsenterer Sutari både østeuropæisk folkemusik, skæve eksperimenter og magiske ritualer. Tænker man på folkemusik, tænker man ofte på den omrejsende skjald, der vandrer fra sted til sted og spiller sine sange. Men for de tre kvinder i den polske gruppe Sutari fortjener dette billede en nuancering. Folkemusikkens traditioner er nemlig i høj grad også blevet båret videre fra generation til generation hos de kvinder, der sad derhjemme. Folkesangene har lullet børnene i søvn, men de har også skabt en rytme og en ramme for hverdagens arbejde – på marken og i køkkenet.
Netop køkkenet og dets lyde har været et vigtigt udgangspunkt for Sutari. I deres musik blander de traditionelle østeuropæiske folkemusikinstrumenter med hverdagens objekter fra køkkenet – piskeris, rivejern og andet. Resultatet er et unikt lydbillede, en slags hjemlig og intim free folk, som trækker på både dybe folkemusikalske rødder og greb fra avantgarde-traditionen, og som på baggrund af dette skaber både humoristiske, poetiske og feministiske fortællinger – smukt forløst af trioens særegne vokalharmonier.
Sutari har vakt opsigt rundt i verden med koncerter på talrige festivaler – bl.a. på WOMEX, Fanø Free Folk Festival i 2017, Roskildefestivalen m.fl. For nylig har de udgivet “#LullabiesForTheWorld”, som med udgangspunkt i trioens feministiske og politiske tilgang bygger på vuggevisetraditionen. “We want to sing FOR the World, the nature and people, to bring peace, to ease pain, to calm, to heal, to strengthen. Just like mother singing lullabies to her child passes serenity, love, knowledge and protection spells”, siger trioens medlemmer om det nye album.
ENGLISH text:
Sutari is the power of three female voices intergrowing in a unique musical harmony. Their music is a fusion of tradition and modernity, fulfilled with trance and polyphonic compositions, woven around themes of nature, freedom, femininity and sisterhood. Sutari’s debut introduced a new quality to the polish folk scene. The band created a unique style of interpreting traditional songs and creating musical tales. The artists experiment with various vocal techniques, create their own instruments and explore the musical potential of everyday objects. They arrange traditional Polish songs as well as compose their own, based on various female musical traditions.
Trio Sutari is one of the leading Polish export musical groups. Since their debut in 2012 at Polish Radio’s „New Tradition” Folk Festival, where they won the jury’s second prize and the audience award, they’ve played several hundred concerts in 22 countries around the world. The band was selected to present their work at the largest international world music fair WOMEX 2015 and is one of the very few Polish and European groups to have recorded a musical session at cult American radio station KEXP. They have had musical collaborations with artists such as Hańba (PL), El Buho (UK), LUC (PL), Frander (SE), Anna & Elizabeth (USA), Barbatuques (BR), Mawaka (BR) and Dead Rat Orchestra (UK) and their songs appear as teaching material at theater academies and universities, both Polish and foreign. The band have recorded award-winning albums, highly rated in numerous rankings and reviews: BRIDE PRICE (Folk Phonogram of the Year - 3rd prize), THISTLES, RIVER SISTERS (Folk Phonogram of the Year 2020 - 3rd prize, nomination for the FRYDERYK award in 2021 in the "World Music" category) and TAMOJ in cooperation with the jazz trio Bastarda (Folk Phonoogram of the Year 2023 - 3rd prize, nomination for the FRYDERYK award in 2023 in the "World Music" category). In 2023, the band was honored with Professional Award at the Czech Music Crossroads Festival. The new album #LullabiesForTheWorld (Audio Cave) was released in March 2024.
