LP is packaged with an 18x24 inch poster and eurosleeve with lyrics and translations. Diamanda Galas In Concert is not simply a live album. With nothing but a piano and the full expressive range of her extraordinary voice, Diamanda Galas strips away the comforting patina of time, tradition and stylistic convention to expose and express the raw human emotion that is the living heart of a song. It explores an eclectic range of material; rembetika, soul, ranchera, country and free jazz, and her passionate eviscerations reveal their hidden kinship. Four of the songs-O Prosfigas, La Llorona, Let My People Go, and Anoixe Petra are for and by the forsaken, outcast and debased; the other three are hardboiled love songs. 'In Concert' features select recordings taken from performances at Thalia Hall in Chicago, and Neptune Theatre in Seattle from 2017. The songs are drawn from disparate sources. Diamanda is of Maniati Greek and Middle-Eastern Greek/Egyptian origin, but she was born near the border of San Diego and Mexico, hearing the corridos, ranchera, and ballades daily, so the album draws deeply from both sources. Crucial to her performance are song types with ancient roots, primarily the amane, a vocal improvisation of Anatolian Greek origin. Amanes can be defined as a last prayer to the mother by a dying soldier, with the word amane itself possibly deriving from the Greek word mana, mother. Echoes of amanes can be heard in the Adhan, the Islamic call to prayer, but in origin it is a primal lament, expressing grief and loss. The origins of the amane are archaic; its spirit is urgent and timeless.
