about

“The songs from the album of the young Transylvanian artist Lil Obeah, who introduced us to his work through a series of singles will instantly and unrivaled draw you into its very deep and dark atmosphere. Slow, heavy, at times extremely experimental, even jazz-influenced, Lil Obeah undoubtedly has a sound that cannot be easily defined.

Certainly, the foundation is dub, but in the songs, you can find trip-hop, industrial, and Romanian folklore with traditional instruments.

These tunes are a stylish and sonic surprise and if you ask Obeah, it's a brand new genre: duppy dub.”

Nenad Pekez aka Mizizi of Reggae Fever

lyrics

Copiii nostri merg la scoala
Isi inventeaza jocuri noi
Dar dimineata cand se scoala
Privesc nelinistiti spre noi

Nici nu-i nevoie sa se-auda
Ce au de spus copiii-n cor
Pluteste-n aer vestea cruda
Si teama intrebarilor

O clipa doar daca ne doare
Ca-i frig prin somnul de copil
Gasim si loc destul sub soare
Si paine-n graul din cimpii

Cu spaima ne izbeste-n tampla
Lumina ochilor cuminti
Si nu-ntelegem cum se-ntampla
De-i oarba ura din parinti

Cat de frumos ar fi sa doarma
Daca parintii s-ar vorbi
Sa nu mai nasca nici o arma
Si cerul pacii ne-ar orbi

O clipa doar daca ne doare
Ca-i frig prin somnul de copil
Gasim si loc destul sub soare
Si paine-n graul din cimpii

Lyrics by George Țărnea
