 From the Pacific to the Atlantic
Andrea Gerak introducing her song on the 100th edition of Electrical Language Podcast as well as on AMPed, the official podcast of Association of Music Podcasting
A song travelling through the ether, after having been recorded 40 years ago in a village of Malaita, Solomon Islands in the South Pacific. A folk song called Rorogwela, a lullaby sung by an elderly woman.
Since then, the melody became well known, such names composed music to it as Deep Forest or Jan Garbarek, or recently the Canada based Existence Records gathered electronica masters to remix the song and presented Deep Forest Sweet Lullaby Remixed album with 16 artists.
Andrea Gerak's delicate voice appears in two other versions, composed by the Spanish Cambridge which are spreading around all over the world on websites such as Last FM, YouTube or SoundClick.
Last week the Rorogwela Sunset Mix was featured at the 100th edition of Electrical Language Podcast a weekly 30 minute podcast of Podsafe indie music from the UK and beyond, brought to you by Gabor Kovacs from Hampshire, UK. The music ranges from acoustic to electronica to "indie rock". The Electrical Language Podcast plays good music from: Hungary, Iceland, Malta, Sweden as well as the UK, North America, Australia and New Zealand.
