Info zu ti-an-guis

The members of ti-an-guis are from different corners of the world: Mexico, Brazil, Portugal and Croatia. Each musician selected music for this album, originating from his or her own cultural background or musical experience. As such, the creation of the album was a process of mutual collaboration.

For each song the group brainstormed possibilities of arranging, instrumentation and style. This leads to fresh and surprising interpretations of traditional folk music. Although the repertoire clearly comprises different styles ti-an-guis has found many similarities between the folk songs and as such managed to compose a coherent album.

ti-an-guis consists of a vocalist, bass player, two guitarists, and a percussionist, who met in The Netherlands. The idea for their musical collaboration was born when percussionist Pepe Garcia played a traditional son jarocho song from Veracruz, Mexico, to vocalist Lovorka Holjevac who felt its melancholic and warm sound was similar to Croatian ethnic music.

The unique voice of Lovorka and choice of (traditional) instruments, such as the jarana jarocha, give the album a specific and intriguing sound. The energy and emotions of the group can be clearly felt as the album is recorded in a setting where all musicians played together. From emotional songs to uplifting beats, ti-an-guis surprises and engages its audience!
