Vor ein paar Tagen erhielt ich eine Nachricht von David Letelier, aus Chile. Er spielt in der Folk-Band RIVEIRA und ist Direktor von CHILECELTA. David möchte ein weltweites Projekt starten und sucht zu diesem Zweck noch Bands und Musiker. Alle Infos hier nun in seiner Mail:
Dear Musical Friends:
In addition to sending my greetings, I affectionately write to you in order to invite you to participate in an innovating project that has the purpose of linking different latitudes of the planet through Celtic music. I am talking about the “Godeeimgo Project”.
My name is David Letelier. I am the Director of CHILECELTA, one of the oldest and most important portals about Celtic culture in Spanish. I am also artistic and musical director of the Celtic neofolk band RIVEIRA. The rapid expansion of Celtic culture around the world has led me to take charge of a project that connects the talent of different musicians and artists without allowing physical distance to be a barrier.
In this scenario, the “Godeeimgo Project” is a non-profit project that links the interpretation of musicians from different parts of the world with their corresponding instruments by bringing them together in a Celtic folk song called „Godeeimgo“ (written by me). How does this work? You review the demo executed by RIVEIRA and create a quality audio recording, as well as a video recording. Both will be part of the project’s final musical video.
The audio and video files must be sent to davidletelier@musica.cl with the subject “Godeeimgo Project” – (Musician’s Name – Instrument – Country) by September 26th 2014. Once the editing is finished, the product will be uploaded to YouTube in a special channel for the Project, which will be strongly promoted in several music and Celtic portals, social networks, etc.
The intention of the Project is to generate collaboration networks among musicians around the world and to provide the possibility for many of us to suggest other songs so we can work on them under this same method. Personally, the selection is made in view of my constant monitoring of your work and considering my respect for what you do. It would really make me very proud to be able to reunite you all, friends from Ireland, Scotland, Galicia, Asturias, Colombia, Chile, Argentina and other countries.
I hope that you decide to venture in this endeavor, and I request your prompt confirmation in order to consider you and your instruments.
I bid farewell and send a great Celtic-musical hug to all of you.
