Ensemble Méditerranéen
Pedro Aledo
From island to island

The Mediterranean Ensemble launched themselves out the challenge to appear entirely on the record marks but, also and especially to exist concretly through concerts and cultural events, which aims besides the sound and musical attraction, do bear on the creation of a humanistic trend. As a matter of fact, more than a "fusion", the Mediterranean and worldwide cultural generally speaking, is a universal patrimony which deserve all the interest of the human wills, in order to soundly build the grounds for a revival of the cultural and educative values. A momentum towards the surpassing of oneself, needs some courage and efforts. Some actions untiringly repeated. By bringing together some musicians friends from different extractions, I would like to take part in the creation of trend of tolerance and joy of living shared freely.
The support and the confidence of France-Télécom allowed me to under-take this artistic step. I do quote this sponsorship with a heartfelt gratitude.

My sincere thanks, also, to Regine and J.P. Déméry (Souleiado) as to the persons that brought their help to the realization of this record.

Inspired from the SERENATA SICILIANA, composition of P. Aledo, by inserting in it some verses in corsican, french, catalan and spanish. The quest of the beauty : "of she", the woman, the mother, the sea, the light...

7. FAGGIANELLA
At the time of the practice for recording of this record, Jacques DAU made explode this "Lamentu" of the south of Corsica. Song of the mountains, which seems inspired by some "Volcanic sigh" of the corsican soul.

Davoul and Bendir by S. River and Hamadouche.

9. FROM CADIZ TO MARSEILLE
In the first CD of the Mediterranean Ensemble, P. Aledo had superposed an Algeria Flamenco rhythm and a corsican terzetti.
It's the meeting here, still astonishing, of the Petenera, archaic flamenco mode (dreaded by the singers, so much it was apparently loaded of "maldicion") and an Occitan song which text quite as much tinged with sadness and loneliness.
Soloists guitar : Juan Santiago and Antonio Fernandez,
Song : Felix Santiago and Miquela Bramerie.

A song from a musical under "Le siege de Mons" (Words),
Michel Montanaro (Music).

Vocal : Pedro Aledo, Taoufik Bestendji.

12. YO NO SE QUE ES EL AMOR
Rumba Flamenco, far from the common spectacular screams to this musical style. The young Manuel Fernandez, his brother, his cousin and parts of the Ensemble, offer this song with vitality and moderation.

13. SEPARATION
Cenem Diyici offered this song, from the east of Turkey, to the Mediterranean Ensemble.Ballade of an evening of January the 30th 1992, coming to settle on this record, such as a present coming from the heart of voice and the soul of Cenem friendship.
