🎼1981. 40 years ago an unusual and unique band moved its first steps in Melbourne, #Australia... they started as a quartet but when Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard decided to relocate to #London, the band became a duo. Its name was Dead Can Dance and their musical style evolved in the 80s from the original dark new wave post-punk to an undefinable genre made of neoclassical and world music influences: #BrendanPerry histrionic multi-instrumentalist experiments and #LisaGerrard unique dramatic contralto voice contributed to define the meaning of cult band.
In the Chat Room👇 the first instrumental track of their 1984 debut album and a stunning live performance where Lisa Gerrard sings in idioglossia, ancient Greece term to define an idiosyncratic language invented and spoken by only one person.
