ENRIQUE MATEU
"RITUAL COLLAGE"
Lyricon / Sonifolk
This work includes several musical fields, thus proving that Enrique Mateu has a remarkable dose of imagination. Most of the ten pieces included in it range between alternative pop and World Music. Nonetheless, some pieces or passages from them turn out to be unclassifiable. In a way, the music in this innovative CD could be defined as "urban ethnic music" or "city folk music". As a general rule, the compositions possess rather strong rhythms, even if there are some passages or themes of a more deliberate nature, which also turn out to be mysterious and hypnotic.
