Press Reviews "RESTLESS CONJUNCTION OF TWO VIOLONCELLOS" Both of these two energetic violoncellists come from Northern Moravia, where they were passing by each other while studying at the Ostrava Conservatory. They met one year ago in Brno during their musicology studies at the Philosophical Faculty. Andrea (born in 1972) was at that time featured in the band BOO and in the international music-dance formation Rale, while Dorota (born in 1975) was playing with the Brno-based alternative band Lippany. They were both willing to play in an acoustic structure ; moreover it appeared soon that Dorota had a beautiful voice. In their music and texts, they get inspired by the poetry of the night and by the dreams, which they consider as extractions from the sub-conscious. „It is because what happens to us during the night is totally different and sometimes even truer than what we perceive in the day,“ says Andrea. Just like dreams, their music is able to gently caress and soothe, but also to hurt with its brutal urgency. Their texts are written in Polish, which, as they unanimously agree, they have flowing in their veins. Dorota's mother is Polish and the great-great-great-grandmother of Andrea was a Polish countess. Moreover, „the Polish language is far more fit for singing because it has softer consonants and vowels than the Czech language. I think that in that language my voice even has another coloration…“ says Dorota. Their own musical style is so original that it escapes all possible classification, but it rather surely pines for communication with the receptive and open listener who is not afraid to dream. After a first successful tour in the year 2000 in the Czech Republic, France and Germany, TARA FUKI also plans to visit Poland. "INTRANQUILLE CONJONCTURE DE DEUX VIONLONCELLES" Deux énergiques vionloncellistes, venant de la Moravie, croisaient leur chemin sans se voir au conservatoire de Ostrava. Il y a un an, elles se sont rencontrées a Brno ou elles étudiaient la musicologie a la faculté des lettres. A cette époque, Andrea (née en 1972) jouait déja dans deux autres groupes : BOO ( groupe de rock alternatif ) et RALE (”homeless world music” melant la danse et la musique), tandis que Dorota ( née en 1975 ) jouait avec Lippany ( groupe alternatif de Brno ). Au meme moment, elles ont eu un désir commun : jouer en accoustique. Tres vite, Dorota découvrit qu’elle avait aussi une magnifique voie. Leur musique et leurs paroles s’inspirent de la poesie des reves et de la nuit, comme l’extraction de l’inconscience. ”…notre perception dans la nuit est différente, ce qui se passe dans nos reves nous apparaît souvent plus proche de la réalité, que durant le temps écoulé le jour. Leur musique caresse et console, mais comme dans les reves, la musique de TARA FUKI peut avoir un autre visage, une autre constance : elle peut etre cassante et vous blesser. Les paroles sont écrites en polonais, parce que les deux ont du sang polonais qui coule dans leurs veines. La mere de Dorota est polonaise et ” l’arriere arriere arriere” grand-mere d’ Andrea était une comptesse polonaise. ”De plus, dit Dorota, cette langue est singuliere, elle est dotée de voyelles et de consonnes plus douces et plus chantantes que le tcheque. Cette langue change aussi la couleur de ma voie” Le style musical de TARA FUKI est original et se caractérise par la non classification de genre. Leur musique nous rend plus sensible, elle crée en vous le désir de communiquer et invite le public a s’ouvrir au monde des reves, s’il se sent pret. Extrait de l’ article de L. Kolacek
