PEIX | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

The Belgian-Italian trio Peixe e Limão oscillates between folk, classical music, pop and jazz. Adorned with cello, acoustic guitar and a magnificent voice, this trio works its own multilingual repertoire.

Two Italians and a Belgian meet in Brussels, the international city where they can address their deepest feelings and questions. It’s only here that they are able to express themselves freely, in their native languages or in the adoptive languages they use every day. They bring together their instruments, their experiences, their courage, and their friendship does the rest. They jump hand in hand into the pool of their inner waters, which become less troubled because they are together. The fear of breaking the silence subsides, their voice and hands no longer tremble, the words and notes flow freely. Their debut album SALTA! is born.

The music is powerful and profound, sometimes lyrical. It tackles worldly and deeply human themes, far from delusions of grandeur. Unromantic love, migration without heroism, boredom, obsessive loneliness, tiredness. A deep-seated fear of swimming, but a desire to dream that is stronger than the opposing tides. In this album, which mixes languages and styles, Peixe e Limão touches the essence of humanity, and speaks to our vulnerability. Their music creates a deep connection, resonating with what unites us all. The trio whispers aquatic formulas to the depths of our souls, appeasing our hearts.
