REVIEWS :

'Sind'' is the second album of Apulia's (Southern Italy) Faraualla, and is the 'organic development of it, a real chapter two,' as described in the liner notes. A photo of the group shows a total of seven musicians now, 5 women singers and two male percussionists; not surprising with the emphasis on strong percussion in the group's first recording. This emphasis is even greater on 'Sind'. Gabriella Schiavone once again has written most of the group's original material, including 'Domina De Miseria,' 'Arecuriurie,' a co-writer on 'Uarandero,' 'Masciare' the joyous 'Orangutan' and the rhythmic 'Maat Dance,' the title tune and 'Ninnage.' Schiavone also arranged the Russian folk-flavored 'Popoff.' The album finishes strongly with the traditional Albanian song 'Viktori' and a remixed, throbbing 'Masciare Witch Mix.' Faraualla impresses us again with another energetic, rhythmic winner!
