Dirty Linen (USA) Julio 2003
"Ésta es una banda contemporánea llena de energía, fuerza y curiosidad
sin límites. Bidaia (viaje) definitivamente ofrece una experiencia
viajera única".
Hika Julio 2003
"Hay elementos de sabor breton y occitano, albokas y txirulas junto a
zanfonas, cajones y darbukas, sonidos de fusion que te engancharan a
esta hermosa rueda del folk en piezas como la intensa Munduberri".
"Instrumental and vocal mastery makes this debut recording by Basque
quartet Bidaia not only infectiously, but irresistibly, joyous. The
screeching duo of Caroline Phillips' zanfona, or hurdy-gurdy, and Mixel
Ducau's alboka, a traditional Basque double-reed instrument featuring
dual fingering tubes, adds a tonal edge similar to that of the bombarde
and biniou found up the coast in Brittany. Both also contribute fine
vocals, Phillips a sweet, intense alto, Ducau an expansive, celebratory
tenor. Bidaia transcends even this high potential by organizing "Oihan"
into a series of suites, punctuated by standalone tracks. ...My only
reservation about Oihan is that I might not be able to get it off my
player before the next Bidaia record is released." - Jim Foley
"An innovative, all-acoustic ensemble from Basque Spain offers a unique
and creative vision for both their local roots and the greater world
beyond. It's a highly modal experience, driven primarily by traditional
Basque instruments - alboka, ttun-ttun (an instrument similar to a
zither, but played with a stick as a percussive effect), combined with
acoustic guitar, piano, hurdy-gurdy, Moroccan darbouka & Andalusian
cajon. The almost surreal vocals of Caroline Phillips are a central, if
not solely defining, part of the sound, as her soaring voice is merged
into a wall-of-sound created by the instruments in a sharp and stunning
series of arrangements."
" 'Ohian', sorprende por el desparpajo al atacar el folk vasco con
instrumentación a veces 'anómala' (cajón andaluz, darbuka marroquí,
zanfoña occitana) y un espíritu que les emparenta con Ry Cooder (las
guitarras, los aires blues y swing) y empuja su propuesta más lejos que
Junkera, Alboka u Oskorri.".
