I have had the first album, Aire, by the German mediæval folk band Sava for a long time; and it has long been one of those albums that I keep going back to in my darker and more melancholy moods. Folk music, that is to say the music that comes out from amongst the folk without attribution, at its most real gives voice to certain heart-stirrings. That is certainly the case with their rendition of the traditional Sephardic Jewish love song ‘Yo m’enamori’ here, simply-expressed in its lyrics, yet bewitchingly expressive in its minor key. Do enjoy!
