que es laxula?
Un Trance de cacharros, lunas, lirios, ubres, cacas y velas. Mujeres prohibidas. Sangre, croquetas y aullidos. Se caen las mascaras, se abre el telon, asomate, tiene un utero con alfeizar, grande y Redondo, Si te acercas y apoyas los codos, se puede ver el Mundo.la Vida misma.
¿Tu sabes quien es Kali, Lilith, Hecate, Oya, Sheela na Gig, Olocum, Ertzuli, Bauboo, Persefone?.Ni falta que nos hace tanta erudición, solo la palabra.
Hay una presencia femenina fuerte sobre el escenario que inspira a la voz cantante, bajo, batería, percusión, acordeón y guitarra. ellos han aceptado expresar el alma de LAXULA para oficiar con todo el que se apunte una fiesta profunda y pagana que celebra la desesperación y la torpeza de lo humano, el exilio del alma con a, con hache, la alegría tonta de lo cotidiano, lo divino del sentir y lo extraño y maravilloso del encontrarse.
LAXULA, proyecto, no producto, de mercado, salado, empaquetado congelado, para escuchar si te place, si te nace. LAXULA se acerca, hembra y hombre, bestia y caverna, sentimiento y latido. Ella Camina despacio y fuerte, abre los dedos de los pies, se hunde en la tierra, en el fango, en la arena, debajo del asfalto donde esta la herida.
¿Qué HERIDA?
La herida que suma y que sigue. Pedazos de animales impotentes, elocuentes, dementes, compeentes?
¿QUIEN ERES?
La esencia de todos los saberes, de todos los placeres y de todos los deberes.
¿QUE QUIERES?
Imperdibles, alfileres y mi cuerpo
Si has soñado alguna vez en hacer el amor con tu madre, esta es tu música.
Ah, se me olvidaba, cuando quieras ver a LAXULA tráete a tu mujer,
no la que eres,
ni la que tienes al lado,
sino la que llevas dentro y te está esperando.

*LaXuLa is the nick name of the band's patron, the lady that appears in the front of the Album cover
"our lady of contradiction" an ancient sexual femenine representation of opposites living together, birth and death,
selfregeneration, selfhealing . an icon of light and Darkness copulating. She is a profane mystic hologram.
LaXuLa understands the need for "singing our darkness", has to be as cherised as our very love for fun!!
*In X-ile is the music that comes from a state of alienation, when one is far from "home" not a physical home" but more like a place within where there is room for the whole spectrum of experience that laXula represents. It's the music of exile.
*LaXuLa's Lirics talk about life dramas, lost love, found love, fears, mother love, hopes and visions they question perceptions, roles, existence....
from a woman's perspective, they are like personal diary entries they intend to heal just by singing what hurts or what it is.
LaXula (a.m.a) leads audiences on a journey of wonder and decadence. Songs drift effortlessly from the dusty sun-baked routes of southern Spain to the pulsing urban vibrancy of east London underground parties: theirs is a plaintive fiesta of influences from Flamenco to Arabic, Klezmer to Latino, all interwoven with indie-rocky psychedelia.
Deeply routed in an ancient feminine spirit, this travelling band of captivating musicians and alluring performers present a show that is full both melancholy and joy. Come and enjoy a full body experience of sensuous and bewitching music enwrapped in a junk circus of beautiful neo-burlesque performers both and fey.
....."The resulting nomadic brew and it's unique sound manages to walk the tight-rope between the plaintive and the uplifting without falling on either side"....
"A music so deeply rooted in the tradition of the journey it transcends any meaning of land of origin! One of a kind! " I cant remember Who wrote that, sorry!!!
