This album is aimed to Macedonian parents and kids, as well as all those interested in exploring and discovering new and interesting cultures.
It's the forerunner of
Octopus in London, the other children's CD which we offer in our eBay store. Some of the songs from Moe Dete
were transliterated into English. In their English, as well as in this
Macedonian version, they prove to be very successful among kids.
The music is uncommon in the sense that they make wide use of Macedonian folk elements, producing a rather interesting melange of children's music which varies between Folk and Pop.
The songs are acoustic, with use of many stringed folk instruments: Tamboura, Tambouritza Prim, Mandolin, Bouzouki, Acoustic Guitar, Accordion
This gives a very warm, almost rural background to the music.
The lyrical motifs are the normal ones: celebrating friendship, family, snow, party. There are also fantasy
motifs, with lyrics inspired and co-written with children themselves
(the author comes from a big family, so there was never a luck of
inspiration for that!)
The
author is Viktor Mastoridis
