Chicane – Offshore

Posted by Juan Fernando Pacheco

This is the kind of music than I like so much to hear at every time trance, dance and electronic music; in fact someone told me than a song brings to you special moments of your live, and the reason why you love this music is just because it brings to your mind that moments, something like a déjà vu.

I’m not sure about that theory, but if it’s true for sure it brings to me the 2006 year, for sure that was an special time of my live because I can share alot of things with some old friends and specially at my birthday in that year because one of them organize a party just for the tree of us at my home, and when I go home they receive me with this song.

Anyway, I found this video at Youtube anf of course I like the idea to share it with you.

Saltarello

Posted by Juan Fernando Pacheco

The first time when I heard Saltarello was so much time ago, maybe ten or more years ago, and I just heard but I don’t put attention on it until several months after when I back to hear again and someone told me a little bit more about the story of Saltarello.

The Saltarello was a kind of dance very popular in de middle age and it was interpreted by a group of flutes, mandolins and some other instruments, the history tells than in some rare cases to the group of instruments a woman added hers voice to give more realism to the music.

Actually it’s still possible to hear the music is possible, but the dance steps were lost in the time forever.

The version than I heard of this song was interpreted by Dead Can Dance and you can find it on the Aion Album or if you want more info about the dance you can find it in Wikipedia.

Here the Saltarello, Dead Can Dance version:
