LIVE OVERSEAS (CD, Urchin Records 2000)

2000 was the year for our first tour in Australia, and one of Felpeyu's most beautiful experiences as a band. We became captivated by the country and its people, and experienced intense moments on stage between the band and the audience. It must have been after one of those concerts when we first realised that it would be great to capture such moments in a recording. Then, months after, a new tour came up, and we decided this time we wanted to have something cool to offer to the audience, something containing exactly what people could expect to experience in a concert with FELPEYU.

The repertoire on this recording closely reflects what we performed on our last tour: sets and songs from our works "FELPEYU" and "Tierra", plus a couple of new arrangements. La Marcha d'Antón El Neñu (March of Antón The Kid), a beautiful funeral march that Lisardo, Ígor and Xuan decided to play at Port Fairy Folk Festival to show what Asturian traditional bagpipe marches are like; people enjoyed it so much that we kept on playing it, and it became one of the most succesful tunes along the tour. And D'Equí A Somió (From Here To Somió), a very funny song from Co. Xixón about a young girl who falls in love with a boy, and starts flattering him telling him all the things her father would give him as a gift if he marries her; words are of course in feminine gender and, since unfortunately there are no girls in the band, Carlos and Ígor decided to share the vocals between them and have some fun with it.

This recording is dedicated to all the wonderful friends we met in Australia, who helped us over such a long tour; and, of course, to the aussie audience, probably the warmest we have ever found. Because of all of you, we so much look forward to be playing again Live Overseas.
