Soriah - Ofrendas De Luz A Los Muertos



"Soriah, which translates as “Milky Way” from Sufi, is the stage persona for the internationally recognized artist, Enrique Ugalde. Soriah’s craft is a blending of traditional Khöömei (Tuvan Throat Singing), tempered with Soriah’s own visceral force. Performances vary from being steeped in tradition and bound to its constructs to more experimental fascinations with electronic and acoustic accompaniments, and introducing Butoh and Ritual Performance Art. Soriah’s use of Khöömei as a transportive medium is an offering to nature in her own tongue, that of organic sound whether it be wind, water or the mimicry of animals."

I was going to post the three (of four) Soriah releases following a shoutbox request. However, just as I was preparing the post, I realised that they are still for sale. Pisser. Anyway...

Here's Ofrendas De Luz A Los Muertos (in an intentionally low 192 rip) that was released in 2007 on Beta-lactam Ring Records. If this floats your boat, you can pick two of the three at half price staright from Beta-lactam. Even better news is that there is new material due and a tour of the West Coast of the US and England later in the year...more info here.

...and here's the link...

Ah ok. Sorry about that. I had intended to get them once I was able to (should be shortly now), but was just going more for preview purposes. Anyway, I understand, and thanks for the post anyway, this guy could use as much advertisement as he can get.
