About Zegar Zivi

ZEGAR ZIVI
Zegar Zivi
Cloud Valley CV3008

Released February 2008

It might come as a surprise that this extraordinary music is from Europe. Powerful acapella group vocals, often using the wild beating-against-drone technique of groktenje, diple playing, goat-calling and church-bell ringing from a group of amazingly resilient Serbian singers who’ve moved back to their village of Zegar in the rocky hill-country of Dalmatia in Croatia – a region war-shattered in the 1990s and still depopulated, but beautiful and now peaceful - to rebuild their homes and pick up the threads of their lives and rich musical traditions. The album’s title, and the group’s name, means “Zegar Lives”.

All the tracks were recorded in Zegar in May 2007, produced by Andrew Cronshaw in collaboration with Svetlana Spajic.

The digipak contains a 60 page booklet with many photos and extensive notes in English and Serbo-Croat about the people, the place and their music.

See www.cloudvalley.com for more information, including a listing of the CD's 22 tracks.

Click "View all blogs" on this MySpace page for features on the recording in the UK-based world music magazine fRoots and Croatian national daily paper Jutarnji List, as well as reviews in UK national daily papers The Guardian and The Scotsman, music magazines fRoots and Songlines, website Muzika.hr, and on BBC Radio 3, plus details of its appearance in the World Music Charts Europe airplay top 20.

The CD can be bought internationally direct from www.cloudvalley.com, as well as from record shops and online retailers worldwide.

Katarina J.	Apr 6 2008 1:36 PM I just got the CD and what a plesant surprise it is! It's just beautiful - so cleverly done. The music is moving and so pure, you really get a sense of the place and people creating it. There is a strong sense of community and connection with the music. And the design/booklet emphasizes it! Magnificent job! I have spread the news among ethnomusicologists of the world and they're ordering it as we speak. Thank you so much, Katarina xx
