QorusQoros is somewhere "After the siamese initiatic ritual of 'Jengi' and the triptych invocations of 'Demons' the trio of Ba Alvares, Mestre André and Raphael Soares returns in full idiosyncratic force with 'QorusQoros' on the ever expanding Sucata Tapes (Discrepant). Using varied percussion, bass, voices and electronics, Alforjs dive deep in an uncharted history of communal music practices, from the Sun Ra Arkestra to the Haitian drum circles, from the No Neck Blues Band freak outs to the more tellurian ‘’krautrockian’’ repetive beats there’s a very genuine conjuring of forms at play In 'QorusQoros' these spiritual coordinates are continually reorganized: 'Nossa Senhora' is a lament, Ayler via Badalamenti wearing his heart on his sleeve with ‘Pharophah’ exploring a more narcotic side, entangled with delusions of percussion and spiritual appearances of glossolalia. Mantras from the shanty towns, in the purest and beautiful sense this can mean.'' (Bruno Silva) "Outernational free jazz madness from Lisbon trio Alförjs. It could as well be an ethnographic soundtrack from another planet as the trio of Mestre André (saxophone, electronics), Bernardo Álvares (contrabass) and Raphael Soares (drums) delve deep into the outer realms of what jazz/electronics music can sound like. Bernardo Álvares - Contrabass, Voice, Percussion Acknowledgements: José Alberto Ferreira / Colecção B, Damas, Margarida Guerreiro, João Miguel Moço released March 2019 by Sucata Tapes (Discrepant)
