Strange planes flying over me
Ways that
already I've dreamed
I ask to myself
Till when will I be here?
Hidden shadows and faces that don't see
Eyes like torches looking at me,
is like walking on the moon,
Are you yet with me?
Maybe is the red light that follows me
Winter blues and foggy nights
Tears of the butterfly that never cry...

The
brainchild of Argentinean singer songwriter Silvia Demetilla,
alasVALS are a folk/fusion alternative-tango collective based in
London and Buenos Aires. The core members joining Silvia are David
Aguirre –based in Argentina- who controls the programming and
instrumental arrangements, violinist Natalie Sedgwick – with her
beautiful and sensitive approach to the songs- and flute player
Therese Bann –who describes herself as “between classical, jazz,
world, ambient and anything in between as long as it's got soul” - +
guest musicians. Virtuoso percussionist and founding member Nando
Gómez sadly died in 2008, but his inventive use of eclectic
percussion lives on through their recordings, especially 2008's
“Felicidad Equidistante”, which is dedicated to him.

| Our music... | |
|
alasVALS use an eclectic range of instruments including violin,
flute, melodica, ocarina, synths, rainstick, Indian tablas and
odd percussion instruments, which are then mixed with electronic
samples and melodic beats. Switching between English and Spanish
the lyrics have a very delicate, clear voice, suited to the
poetry they sing and play. Their lyrical influences include
reflections on emigration and personal poetry about "inner
life". |

| What is being said... | RR |
|
"Rather than adjusting to the
Argentine stereotype
alasVALS - an
atmospheric group
influenced by tango, trip hop, jazz and experimental pop - has taken and
transformed London's life influence in a creative way... This is not
only because sometimes they sing in English and Spanish, it is also
because their songs have something nostalgic and a winter feeling... A
real discovery
for people that like
Portishead, Bjork or Regina Spektor". |
