Ganes

Vives – translated from Ladin, it simply means “You shall live!” This expression, derived from the Latin “vivus,” is often used to toast in convivial company. But for the Ladin band Ganes, “VIVES” is much more than just a drinking toast. It is an expression of the will to live, a lively hymn to life itself. The music of “VIVES” is as rustic as it is sophisticated, a lively fusion of soundscapes and rhythms. A touch of Frida Kahlo permeates the melodies when mariachi trumpets, guitars, and violins meet yodeling and lamentations. The music becomes lively and daring—you can almost imagine the musicians jumping, singing, and dancing on a table in the local osteria. Ganes' music is a living legacy that bridges the past and the future. “VIVES” is the musical connection between generations, a soundtrack for coming together, growing, and celebrating, as well as for moments of mourning.
