Pura Vida brengt geen strikte reggae/dub, maar een verfrissende variant op het genre waarin moeiteloos geflirt wordt met soul, blues en world. Om een instrument meer of minder zitten ze bij Pura Vida niet verlegen, ze staan dan ook met z’n elven op het podium. Pura Vida is een onvervalste partyband die je in een paar tellen aan het dansen krijgt.
Pura Vida does not play only reggae and dub, but brings a refreshing alternative spiced with some soul, blues and world music. An instrument more or less is no problem for Pura Vida, that explains how they gather together with eleven persons on stage, who by the way make you dance and sweat in no time. Party!
Pura Vida ne présente pas du reggae/dub strict mais plutôt une variante rafraîchissante du genre qui se frotte sans peine au soul, au blues et au world. Pura Vida ne s’inquiète nullement d’un instrument de plus ou de moins, il faut savoir qu’ils sont onze sur le podium. Pura Vida est un vrai groupe de fête qui vous fera virevolter sur la piste de danse en un rien de temps.
PURA VIDA played at: Reggae Sundance(NL), Rototom Sunsplash(Italy), Rastaplas(NL), Vooruit(Support Horace Andy), N9, Reggae Geel as producer-DJ, Koedanfest,...
We've shared the stage with Lee Perry, Groundation, Burning Spear, Horace Andy, No More Babylon, Mad Proffesor, Junior Reid, Michael Rose, ...
THE LOST ARK STUDIO:
HERE AT THE LOST ARK
(by Martijn Hudders, for Pura Vida)
Space and movement collide into one.
As the reggae rhythm makes love to bluesy notes:
a new sound is born.
Between the red heart of a burning violin
And the shining armour of golden trumpets,
a soulgoddess sings her heart out
for the benefit of the pura vida sound.
Here at the lost ark.
You lose track of space and time.
You force yourself to lose yourself.
Here at the lost ark....
music takes over.
