Oi Va Voi es un grupo británico. Pero no es el típico grupo británico. Si así lo fuera no hablaría de ellos. El pop británico me aburre profundamente. Y no estamos aquí para aburrirnos. Nik Ammar (guitarra), Josh Breslaw (percusión), Leo Bryant (bajo), Steve Levi (clarinete y voz), Lemez Lovas (trompeta, voz, piano y teclados) y Sophie Solomon (violín, viola, piano y acordeón), forman Oi Va Voi. Estamos hablando de músicos de verdad, no de esos músicos que tanto abundan en el pop británico, que muestran sus deficiencias y límites en cada directo. Su "multiculturalismo electrónico" bebe de la tradición de la Vieja Europa centrándose, sobre todo, en el este y en los sonidos orientalizantes, desde una estética pop que recuerda las sendas abiertas por Nitin Sawhney o Talvin Sing. Os dejo con una de sus cancionas titulada "Refugee".
You ask me
Why it is I come to you
When someone else is just as good
I asked them but they said the same
Didn't even ask my name
Explain to me
Just what it is you have to lose
Take a minute in my shoes
Don't you feel like you've paid your dues
Already
I'll show you
That all our fates are so entwined
Don't lose your faith in humankind
Just don't forget my state of mind
Is fragile
Together
We can enjoy the taste of dignity
As long as you believe in me
I'll show you my reality
I've seen a fewYou ask me
Why it is I come to you
When someone else is just as good
I asked them but they said the same
Didn't even ask my name
There's another refugee
There's another refugee
Oh oh there's another refugee
Oh oh there's another refugee
Why it is I come to you
When someone else is just as good
I asked them but they said the same
Didn't even ask my name
Explain to me
Just what it is you have to lose
Take a minute in my shoes
Don't you feel like you've paid your dues
Already
I'll show you
That all our fates are so entwined
Don't lose your faith in humankind
Just don't forget my state of mind
Is fragile
Together
We can enjoy the taste of dignity
As long as you believe in me
I'll show you my reality
I've seen a fewYou ask me
Why it is I come to you
When someone else is just as good
I asked them but they said the same
Didn't even ask my name
There's another refugee
There's another refugee
Oh oh there's another refugee
Oh oh there's another refugee

Muy buen grupo. La verdad es el que el pop británico es dulce, suena muy bien , pero aburre ya de tanto reoetir los mismos modelos una y otra vez.
