Info zu Out of Australia
Carl Cleves & Parissa Bouas sind ein Duo, das in seiner australischen Heimat beträchtliche Popularität genießt. Dass man beim Plattentitel "Out of Australia" unwillkürlich an "Out of Africa" denken muss, ist wohl mehr als Zufall. Scheint doch in "Out of" eine tiefe emotionale Verbundenheit mit einem Land, seiner Natur und Kultur zum Ausdruck zu kommen. Eine Vermutung, die sich zur Gewissheit steigert, wenn dieses Album sich mit jedem Stück weiter entwickelt.
"If you've seen Carl and Parissa live you will have a good idea what to expect: warmth, generosity, humour and fantastic musicianship. Parissa's outstanding vocals alternate between a tone that would cut glass, and breathy seduction, while Carl sings with a warmth, honesty and a healthy dose of cheekiness. State of the art in contemporary Australian roots music." James Rigby - The Cornstalk Gazette, Sydney
"Their music can best be described as cross-cultural ... The under current of their songs points to the political situations in the world ... The upper current is poetic and is testimony to a rich imagination and a constantly renewed vitality." Fons Jacobs, Gazet van Antwerpen, Belgium

Carl Cleves
originally from Belgium, has accumulated a bottomless bag of stories, rhythms, languages and guitar styles during his nomadic life, which has led him to perform in almost every continent, resulting in highly original songs. In Brazil where he was a band leader for seven years, he released 2 acclaimed albums. An excellent guitarist, singer and storyteller, Carl’s adventures have included stints as an antelope trapper in Uganda, relief worker in cyclonstruck India, radiobroadcaster and ethnomusicologist in Africa and fisherman in the South Pacific.
Parissa Bouas
is an extraordinary singer and songwriter who finds an emotional context for every genre. In Brazil they named her ‘Patativa’, after a bird renowned for its singing. Daughter of a Greek sailor, she inherited his love of Latin music and honed her formidable percussion skills whilst touring throughout Latin America with an Andean Folkloric group.
