Biography

Dazkarieh suggests an incessant search for acoustic sounds that come together in a powerful electric discharge and where a new path is traced in invigorating Portuguese music of “traditional roots”. It’s a unique sound that sprout from the root to fly without borders and without limits, out of the real world.

Dazkarieh began their career in 1999, starting with the idea of making music having several world cultures as source of inspiration.

Soon they grew to become one of the most active and original Portuguese music outfits, by gathering instruments from different origins (Galician Bagpipe, Accordion, Silver Flute, Irish Tin Whistles, African Percussion, Arab Percussion, Bass and Guitar) and vocalizations in an imaginary language, created by the group itself, with the purpose of treating the human voice as an autonomous instrument, comparable to the others.

With a large line-up from 7 to 10 members, they worked for 5 years, achieving the status of a cult band, selling out concert venues and releasing cds on somewhat mythical locations (the Carmo Convent and the Jerónimos Monastery). The first album was released in 2002 by the group itself and soon sold out the 2000 copies edition, remaining sold out until the 2007 re-edition by HeptaTrad.

Concerts followed all over the country, as well as the gaining of new audiences, which enabled them to always get great reviews from the media.
