Dear Visitor,

here we are again – not inactive, but preparing our anniversary

 

20 YEARS ORIENTE MUSIK

 

In autumn 2014 we celebrate our jubilee – and our survival as an independent world music label. There will be new CDs and a small festival in our hometown Berlin, a city that stands symbolically for our programme: a creative lab in which not only the cultures, but also the times and the stories meet, and a catalyst of a variety whose components remain recognizable in spite of audacious combinations and controversal mixtures.

 

Despite all trends towards displacement, leveling and streaming we stick to our claim to release independent, strong-willed and distinctive music on CD and to offer the curious music lovers an alternative to both the industrial mainstream and the fleeting reception of the Internet.

 

Regarding our Berlin Festival (featuring Sanda Weigl, Čači Vorba, Daniel Kahn & The Painted Bird , The Nazaroff Brothers, Michael Alpert & Julian Kytasty, Olivinn, Karsten Troyke and many special guests) please check our website

New ORIENTE CD: NIGHT SONGS

 

Together with the record release concert (Nov 1), there will be a new CD:

 

Michael Alpert and Julian Kytasty explore the what-might-have-beens of two musical cultures, Yiddish and Ukrainian, left in fragments in the aftermath of the twentieth century totalitarian psychosis. The album “Night Songs from a Neighboring Village” discloses the inherited worlds of two artists who grew up as sons of immigrants from today Ukranian territories to the US. Listening to the conversations of these two worlds, one can imagine alternate homelands, alternate histories. This music evokes a sense of coming home, but to a land we have never seen, that may not exist beyond where the music can conjure it.
