Zonzo Record
Songs with Roots I is Zonzo Records' second release. After the succesful Slumberland by An Pierlé and Fulco Ottervanger, Jan Van Outryve and Soetkin Baptist take you on a trip around the globe in a search for Root Songs. Composer and lutist Jan Van Outryve makes a selection from the colossal song archive of the American musicologist Alan Lomax. For the album Songs with Roots, he arranged these songs for the wonderful voices of Soetkin Baptist, Aline Goffin and Naomi Beeldens, lute, cittern, ukulele, nyckelharpa (Didier François), double bass (Tim Vandenbergh) and percussion (Tijl Piryns).
Elan was an extraordinary girl. She could hear everything. Everywhere she went, she heard snatches of song. One night, Elan had a dream. She dreamt of making a huge machine to collect all the songs in. The very next day, she left.
With her tape recorder tucked under her arm, she travelled all over the world collecting songs that could send babies to sleep, songs that could heal, songs for curing headaches, songs to make people happy and songs for celebrations; but also songs that tickled, songs that stung, and songs for poking fun at people.
