Alma Transalpin - Wwe20428 - World - by Col Legno - Transalpin Luce Finska Secjauer Ransom Im Regents

If you associate the word “Alma” with a lady that was the talk of the town in fin-de-siecle Vienna, you’ve obviously never heard this Alma’s music. The five members of the ensemble prefer to pronounce the four letters of their name with a Spanish inflection. Not content with theoretical allusions, they grab their string instruments and button accordion, get their voices ready, and get cracking, con alma y vida, with body and soul. “Transalpin” is the title they have chosen for their latest musical wanderings, from South Tyrol to Scandinavia, from Morocco to the Dachstein mountain, from London to the Traisen valley. “Trans” is Latin for “across” or “through”, of course, but may also mean “beyond”, like in “Transdanubia” (Viennese idiom for everything beyond the river Danube), which has always been the “beyond” that was the place of origin of the whole world. So, join Alma on their journey to explore the phenomenon of musical transmigration – the lovely music you’ll hear along the way will be its own reward.
