About Bossadelica

Sometimes techniques or technologies on the one hand, and musical contents on the other appear steadily connected: “Once established, particular musico-technological crystallizations can take on definite connotational or ideological references; and these can be hard to shift”, writes Richard Middleton in Studying popular music (Buckingham: Open University Press, 1990, p. 90). At any rate, this bond is never necessary, as far as individuals and groups can mould it, though to a different extent. Bossadelica, with their electro-folk, deliberately aim at going beyond any rigid mystification: despite the fact that means of production and reproduction impose determined limits on creation, music-making should keep a certain degree of autonomy, both about the use of those means and as a sign of respect towards the traditions a music-maker decides to acknowledge. From this perspective, finds its justification the choice of using the new digital technologies synthetically with folk instruments and styles, hoping to find an original sound out of this combination. As the saying goes, “All the songs are folk songs; I have never heard a horse singing them”. www.lesjeuxsontfunk.com/bossadelica.html
