Surplacen venu vi

After "Sojle de la klara temp'" (On the Threshold of the Clear Time) vkkd 32 (2001) and "Plaĉas al mi" (It Pleases Me) vkkd 74 (2004), The Catalan band Kaj Tiel Plu (And So On) continues to propose a trip through the music of the Middle Ages and the traditions of Catalan, Occitan and Sephardic. Also, the original spirit of the band has reappeared, which in the beginning drew from an international repertoire, and again offers songs and dances from Croatia, Kabylia, Denmark and England.

The first disc is more into medieval music; the second is more tradtional. Surplacen venu vi (Come to the Plaza) is directed more toward dance music and shows the coming of age of the group, which presents songs and dances by a very multicolored and rich instrumental array, including the guitar, mandolin, double bass, violin, flutes, viol, accordion, various percussion instruments, use of a chorus, and lead vocalist.

The songs, translated to Esperanto, do not in any way betray their originating languages. The libretto shows the songs both in Esperanto and the original language (Occitan, Catalan, Judaeo-Spanish, Croatian, Amazigh and Spanish), and actually helps to spread the differing traditions and reach the hearts of a very mixed public.

As in the two previous albums, the disc begins by a medieval melody and ends by a traditional song from the Spanish Civil War.

The CD includes 10 karaoke versions of the songs and a studio video of the band.
