Bluesmen's World(Music)

Celebrating 20 years of Méta: "Joy has come..."

"Art has the ability to return people’s feelings which they may have lost. Good music is a world religion in which we are all believers. This includes folk music - while listening to it one feels that one belongs to others, to life... to each other.
It enables us to find the rightful place of everything in the world and does not allow the “colonization” of our senses. It survives everything - if nowhere else, in our souls.
On this festive album this is worthily revived in the interpretation of the now 20 year-old Méta. Because this material is festive. And, as such, it broadens horizons, lifts past over present, unites earth with sky. The world’s principles remain the same, while attitudes towards them are unique. And the real value of things is hidden in their permanence - that is also proved by this CD."

"On our jubilee anthology the listener finds selections grouped not by regional origin. We formed three larger groups primarily based on the message of the texts, between which fit two shorter traditionally edited compositions. We hope, in this way, that everybody will find their favourite songs from the harvest of 20 years.
We did..."
