Black Sweat Records

Black Sweat Records releases Mariolina Zitta’s Concert For Bats, Voices and Natural Sounds. This arcane work, born from speleology and sound archaeology, is a “magical ritual” celebrating bats. Using special detectors, Zitta transforms bat calls into an organic synthesiser, fusing them with natural instruments like stalactites and bone whistles, plus harmonic singing. A total sensory experience.

This week, Italian label Black Sweat Records released a Vinyl Limited Edition archival recording: an evening Raga in the Dhrupad tradition from 1968 featuring Zia Mohiuddin Dagar on Rudra Veena and vocalist Zia Fariduddin Dagar. It’s a gem.
