Jamna buzaura Spiata un pauk Andua foite voi tota la nuat El muore me facaja taima I dai ultim de karnivuol I dai ultim de karnivuol Ju jai venoit Ako jos budeš Ako jos budeš Budeš proval napas Neću jima Ma neću jima neću jima milosti Neću jima milosti Mesopust ni pravi ko ne udela toro Vata me smih Ma vata me smih Boriš se a ne znaš s kin Par put si proval ma ni šlo Aj ka ce boles fermat Ju viad le moire e la puarta inseruota nekuntento je moje sarce solo queda el desierto Gnjilo srce Črna jetra Utrnjen jazik Mrtve oči Mljohave ruke Špuorki nuohti Aprite la bocca Bevite il sangue di questo agnelo, vi salvera!

Fondo 03:47 video
Vela marea, vela marea, fondo Duša gre za suncen, a fondo Fondo, fondo, ćapala me je luna fondo fondo, ki će mi dušu umit? Ki vo više more tarpit? Duša gre za suncen Vela je marea, vela je marea, fondo Vela je mare, duša gre za suncen, fondo Move away, I’ve nowhere to go ( drop anchor) Who can stand this any longer? (drop anchor) Crushing waves, crushing waves (drop anchor) Soul follows the sun, (going) home (Drop anchor, drop anchor) I got caught by the moon (I’m in bad mood) Drop anchor, drop anchor, who will wash my soul? Who can stand this any longer? Soul follows the sun The waves are crushing, the waves are crushing, drop anchor The waves are crushing, soul follows the sun, drop anchor

Zakocuani jedun za drugoga Okrićemo se po ledini Polak mene polak tebe po sredini Nis te ču, ča si rekla? Usta moja na usta tvoja Okinula san se od matere i odunda niko ne zna kua san niko ne zna kua san niko ne zna kua san okinula san se od matere kua san

U slast 09:09
Amuar? Amuar? Amuar? Friž priko friža leži Tilo od tila biži Ti san, previše san ti. U slast! U slast! Čičci još čiču Kolena kleču U slast Corno kako garbun Ninder nikoga Jesil našal ca si iskal? Strašiš se som sebe Ca ćeš sal? Ca ćeš? Ca ćeš sal? Ja nu blai murar Ja nu blai murar Voi sapar de nolia Luna mangia tutto, tutto Muč, duša spi, duša spi Corno kako garbun Ma kako dušu umit? Misto od istine Strasi se som sebe

Thalassa! Thalassa! Zvua si me rosa Thalassa, korenat me nosi pu juga More, more Zvao si me rosa more, morska struja me nosi prema jugu Zvua si me thalassa Korenat me nosi Se sićaš ka smo se na siki igrali bosi? pala san u more Zvao si me more Morska struja me nosi Sjećaš li se kad smo se na pustoj plaži igrali bosi? Pala sam u more

about

You are cordially invited to Mimika Orchestra's infinite feast in the Mediterranean, taking place at Altur Mur, a vision of cultural and personal reinvention captured on Mimika's 4th studio album released in October 2022.

“Mimika are far more than a conventional big band; the territory they inhabit is closer to Sun Ra’s Arkestra, with a large and constantly shifting membership, a devotion to science fiction, fantasy and folklore, strange theatrical make-up and costumes.”
London Jazz News, 2018

“They are an astonishing band in the live arena and present a unique sound that you could not find anywhere else in the world. ”
TimeOut.com, 2019

This 4th studio album by the renowned Mimika Orchestra founded by the composer Mak Murtić and main vocalist Maja Rivić brings you on a journey into the long lost soul of the Mediterranean. Dive into the secret mist carried on “those asymmetric Balkan rhythms, wall of brass from the huge wind section” (Musicdeli, 2016) and dare to awaken the feelings of love, death and existence captured in the passing of time.

In cooperation with lyricist Marta Kolega, Mak started researching the rhythms and language of the Mediterranean almost 3 years ago in preparation for this album. The end result is one of cultural exchange over the centuries that created the Mediterranean as they see it today. Whilst the music follows the norm of modern structure, it also brings to life the sound buried in the sand that created its primordial form. Written in an extinct Romance language off the coast of Croatia, Marta’s words echo through the album delivering the infinite feast that is Altur Mur.

Creating the word-land for Altur Mur has been a journey into the Adriatic islands: its atmosphere, its idiosyncrasies, its language, its lifestyle, its worldviews. I collected phrases that had a strong sound, a peculiar image, a strange beauty, and I collaged them to tell a story of a (lost) soul, an individual trying to find his way in this world, a story that resonates back to Odysseus, and carries the same salty smell of the sea, and a wavering sense of not knowing exactly where she’s going, says Marta.

Mimika Orchestra was founded in London almost 12 years ago, and played many big venues and festivals across the UK, including London Jazz Festivals 2012/14/15, Love Supreme Jazz Festival 2014 (Winners of the Jazz FM Discovery Competition), Latitude Festival, Olympic & Paralympic Festival, and renowned London venues such as The Vortex Jazz Club, Bussey Building, RichMix, PizzaExpress Jazz Club, Union Chapel, and Courtyard Theatre.
