[GHR08] Vidita by Go Dugong

“Vidita” EP (Global Hybrid Records / 42 Records) is a taste of the new album by Go Dugong (Italian producer based in Milan), coming out in March 2018. A global music devotee, Go Dugong continues a journey, started with “Novanta” (42 Records / Fresh Yo!) in 2015, through exotic sounds, passing from Africa to Latin America, always trying to mix instead of embracing a prede ned genre. If the topic of “Novanta” was that of the metropolitan cultural clash, this album was born with the aim to dig deeper and nd its roots.

The inspiration comes from the enchantment of the rst civilizations, whose myths and legends are inevitably linked to nature and the universe; This generates songs inspired by tribal beliefs, mythological gures, rituals and esotericism which, not by chance, often refer to divinities or superior civilizations arrived from outer space. The result is again a hybrid of rhythms, styles and musical genres: Afro, Andean and Amazonian music, dub, psychedelic and cosmic blend with the aim of telling a journey; Go Dugong’s research leitmotiv.

The single “Vidita” is a tribute to the folk music of the Argentine Northwest; the wild song of the Andes is played by Miriam García, Argentinean musician and actress as well as one of the greatest researchers and performers of coplas, poetic compositions typical of the traditional Andean rural culture.

The second track “Mandragora” owes its name to the legends inspired by the homonymous plant; In fact, thanks to the anthropomorphic aspect of its root and its anesthetic properties, supernatural powers are attributed to it by many popular traditions, such as the legend of the deafening cry of Mandragora, considered able of killing a man.

The remixes have been entrusted to the world citizens El Búho, Rafael Aragon and Carlomarco.
