Eu amei este delicioso experimentalismo basco que funde sua psicodelia atmosférica a cantos gregorianos, além de contar com o élfico timbre da vocal Amaia Zubiria.
Obrigada querido amigo Miguel, por mais esta colaboración!

A linda Amaia Zubiria, me apaixonei pela brisa que emana das cordas vocais dessa mulher
.
.
.“Se trata de un disco con bastantes elementos folk (como la mayoria de grupos vascos), pero elaborado con una inspiracion abrumadora. La conjuncion de unas bellas melodias de flauta, unas misteriosas guitarras acusticas, una bella voz femenina, un percusionista que sabe crear atmosferas misteriosas, y varios instrumentos tradicionales como el Bouzaki (que no se como es, pero su sonido estremece) forma un disco sin igual. Los 15 minutos del tema "Hontz Gaua" son para alucinar en colores.”
Amaia em um momento mais recente.
“Another obscurity originally released on the Elkar label, Haizea were a five-piece from the Basque area of Spain. Sporting a sound that could best be described as psychedelic electric folk, the instrumentation consists of guitar (sometimes two), bass, drums, flute, assorted percussive things, and the captivating voice of Amaia Zubiria. Hontz Gaua was their second.
Musically, a few parallels could be drawn with the late sixties San Francisco sound, yet tempered with flavor of local folk music and given an overall better sense of direction. Instrumentation is primarily acoustic based, many tracks are sans drums, with long moody stretches of flute and shimmering electric guitar Popol Vuh style. In contrast, there are some very riveting moments, like the sizzling electric guitar leads on "Arnaki" - one of two instrumentals on the album. Amaia's voice may remind at once of any of a number of west coast folk-rock singers of the late sixties, or perhaps even Sandy Denny or Maddy Prior; her voice is direct and fluid, not abrasive, and is perfectly suited to this type of music. Lyrics are all in the Basque tongue, so I have little to say about them, other than some, when combined with the music they accompany, seem to have a presumed Christian connotation (the latin lyrics and baptism with water at the beginning of the title track, for example).
The fourteen minute title track is an opus unto itself, beginning with a gregorian chant, through the aforementioned 'baptism', and into an introspective flute and guitar piece topped off with vocal harmonies, on to the percussive section, then back again to the vocals. In all, a compelling album that may be a little too low-key for some, but fans of Popol Vuh and similar types of music will find plenty here to enjoy. Highly recommended.”
