Word and rhythm. Rhythm and word.

Guarnicê Recording Project / Dec. 2019:

Word and rhythm. Rhythm and word.

In some moments of human history, dialogue and music were necessary to unite and enhance collective attitudes.

We live in a plural world, where the old concept of humans and nature, as separate beings, no longer makes sense. We are environment!

This new paradigm points out that there are as many humanities, with their ethnic, cultural and social particularities, as there are multiple natures of trees, stones, waters, gases, metals, insects, algae and lichens. We urgently need to admit that we are interdependent and therefore respects them for the common good of our planet.

The Guarnicê Project is born to dialogue with this disturbing change of attitude.

More than music and rhythms, Guarnicê proposes to reflect the Earth, in permanent communion with our identities. Therefore the basic instrumentation of the arrangements - berimbaus, caxixis, rattles, drums and other wood and string instruments - are made with seeds, stones, woods, metals, in a synergy that unites the traditional cultures of the peoples of all continents.

Guarnicê is a narrative of Brazilian Indigenous-African-European ethnicity in this world dialogue. Lyrics and music bring the richness of Toré, Jurema, Capoeira, Batuques, Folguedos, the rhythmic orality that breaks the boundary between the sacred and the profane.

Guarnicê is the popular way of pronouncing the verb “guarnecer” which means to equip oneself, to protect oneself;  defend;  fill up;  complete oneself;  strengthen, provide the necessary to share and promote the occupation of spaces of voice and action.

Guarnicê is one of the voices that calls for listening for the well-being of the Earth and all beings who recognize in it the common place where harmony should reign.

History has changed and we cannot act as before, our multidisciplinary vision must show us that it is now urgent to be part of the world, one body.

This Project is born to dialogue with this new attitude. We want dissonance and antagonism to the self-destructive view of capitalism.

The time has come to return power to plants, animals, and ritual.

 The time is now!

Délcio Teobaldo and Carlo Alexandre
