Description
The Dutch band Amariszi, known for their captivating, uplifting and exhilarating Balkan inspired pop music is release their third studio album, called 'Babel Fish'. The release correlates with the band's 10 year anniversary.
The group headed to rural Hungary to record 'Babel Fish' in a converted old wine cellar in the village Karád, between clucking chickens and pungent spirits. You can hear the Balkan signature, which is cleverly and refreshingly interspersed with pop, reggae and swing.
The many languages sung on 'Babel Fish' make for a distinctive character. Among others the songs are in Arabic, English, Italian and Turkish. On location the singer, Merel Simons, worked with locals on texts and pronunciation. Hence the album title 'Babel Fish' refers to Douglas Adams' fictional linguistic creation of a little yellow universal interpreter, which needs to be inserted into one's ear to understand any language heard.
