TERNE CHAVE are considered as one of the best and most successful gypsy bands in the Czech Republic around. But already a couple of years ago the band have stood on their own feet and crossed borders of Roma ghetto. Taking also gadjo friends as new musicians among themselves they set out into the big world. Touring Europe from Slovakia and Hungary via Italy, Spain, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, England to Scotland, wherever they went people danced. Today the Terne Chave are band without ethnic or genre limits but their gypsy roots give them a solid base for musical trips to areas too distant for others. The band doesn’t fuss about style too much and you will have no time to think about it too ‘cause much of their songs are played with the devil’s tempo. But in case you wouldn’t sleep this off we can reveal that this is the real gypsy rock’n’roll…IT’S ONLY ROM’N’ROLL!!!
Terne Chave have taken enough time to release their third album but it turns out to be very much worth it. It was released on spring 2008 following a four years gap, produced by Petr Vysohlid (ex Czech cult hardcore band I.R.A.) with a ambiguous title "MORE, LOVE!". The english meaning of „more love“ stands against the Roma meaning of „more, love!“, which is like „money, mate!“. This contrast of meanings in the title is consistently reflected throughout the entire album. Hearing it for the first time it is the sound of the band – besides the traditional accordion and violin one will notice also the electric guitar and samples. Next layers can be found within variety of styles of individual songs - rock, tango, folk, spiritual, dance rhythms and punk comes across well, mixed with traditional gypsy vocals, all this in a totally natural form. But mainly the slogan brings a message of the album: everything revolves around money, everyone wants cash and many people forget what in fact they need in a life – more love. The album „More, love!“ expreses the contrast of old traditional gypsy songs with modern technology, the old with the modern world.
********************************************
TERNE CHAVE jsou považováni za jednu z nejlepších a nejúspěšnějších romských skupin v Čechách. Již pred pár lety se ale postavili na vlastní nohy, prekrocili hranice romského ghetta a vydali se do velkého sveta. Prijali mezi sebe bílé gádže, projeli Evropu od Madarska pres Itálii, Španelsko, Nemecko, Belgii, Holandsko až nahoru do Skotska a v jejich hudbe jste vedle romských melodií mohli slyšet také rock, latinu, jazz a tanecní rytmy. Terne Chave jsou dnes kapela bez jakéhokoli žánrového nebo etnického omezení a jejich romské koreny jim dávají pevný základ pro hudební výlety do oblastí, kam se ne každý odváží. Kapela si ale se svým stylem moc hlavu neláme a ujištujeme vás, že ani vám na podobné úvahy nezbude cas, vetšina skladeb se totiž odehrává v dábelském tempu. Pokud byste ale samou zvedavostí nemohli usnout, prozradíme vám, že tohle je skutecný cikánský rock’n’roll alias ROM’N’ROLL!!!
Se svým posledním albem si TERNE CHAVE tentokrát dali na cas a na výsledku je to znát! Vyšlo na jare 2008, po ctyrleté odmlce, v produkci Petra Vyšohlída (ex I.R.A.) a s mnohoznacným názvem "MORE, LOVE!". Tento protiklad v názvu desky vystihuje ducha celého alba. Na první poslech je to zvuk kapely, ve kterém vedle tradicního akordeonu a houslí uslyšíte nove také elektrickou kytaru a sampler. Další vrstvy ale objevíte v žánrovém rozptylu jednotlivých skladeb - rock, tango, spirituál, punk, lidovka i tanecní rytmy se pres vás prevalí v naprosto prirozené podobe, aniž by vám to, ve spojení s romskými vokály, prišlo divné. Název More, love! ale predevším nese poselství celého alba: anglický význam „více lásky“ stojí proti romskému významu „hele, prachy...“. Kolem penez se dnes tocí tolik vecí, každý potrebuje peníze a spousta lidí pro ty peníze zapomíná na to, co vlastne potrebuje ve skutecnosti – více lásky. Deska More, love! prináší kontrast starých romských písní a moderních technologií, starého a moderního sveta.
