Saw these guys last weekend at Hanza 2011 in Kaunas. They rocked! The bass was so fierce, I feared for the safety of my ribcage. After seeing them live outdoors, with a dancing audience, a seated audience seems somewhat odd.
Corvus Corax is latin for Common Raven; Corax is is the Latin species name of the Common Raven :) Corax is greek as well for the raven; ,maybe Latin took it from the greek
Hey cool, a stringed instrument that I actually don't know! Would anyone be able to tell me what the older man is playing there, in the flowy lower garment? You can see it quite well at 2:36. This is a really great song but that instrument is extremely interesting.
Der eigentliche Star in diesem Video, der allen die Schau stiehlt, ist der Weißberockte mit seiner... ist das ne Nyckelharpa? Was auch immer, er geht gut ab ^^
"Ave, formosissima, gemma pretiosa!" Dulcissima Vidi florem floridum, vidi florum florem, Vidi rosam Madii cunctis pulchriorem, Vidi stellam splendidam, cunctis clariorem, Per quam ego degeram lapsus in amorem. Quid plus? Collo virginis brachia iactavi Mille dedi basia, mille reportavi, Atque sepe sepius dicens affirmavi: "Certe, certe istud est id, quo anhelavi!" dont know if htose are the real lyrics but if they are can somone translate?
@SuicideKingOfHearts - I'll try to translate it and send it to you as soon as I'm done. (it might take a few days, since my latin is really rusty, though xD)
Greetings, most beautiful one, my precious gem! I saw the sweetest flower of them all, the flower of flowers, I saw the rose of Madya* – the most beatiful of all, and I saw a shining star, the brightest of them all, for whow I jumped into love. What more can I say? I lay my arms around her neck and gave her a thousand kisses, and was rewarded with a thousand of her kisses.
@ellenaor: The whole song has a celebratory, royal fanfare tone to it. If I had to guess, that woman would be the queen, awaiting the arrival of her victorious king.
@mileXD: It's a Hungarian instrument called an utogardon. It looks like a cello but it's actually a percussion instrument - it's played by hitting the strings with the bow.
The "pirate" is wearing a traditional, national costume of hungary and is playing an hungarian instrument called "gardon" or "ütögardon", he looks funny with that spinning dance ;)
The spinning dance is a nod to Sufist practice, in which the spinning across long periods of time is supposed to inspire a closer connection with God.
