Diamanda Galás - The Litanies Of Satan

zewela101

Review by Zewelanji Siwale

The Litanies of Satan by Diamanda Galás is a haunting and intense album that explores the darker themes of religious and social oppression. Galás's voice is a force to be reckoned with, as she channels the power and fury of Satan himself.

The album is a collection of songs and spoken word pieces that are both unsettling and mesmerizing. Galás's vocals are raw and unfiltered, ranging from guttural growls to soaring operatic notes. The music is sparse and atmospheric, with eerie synthesizers and haunting piano melodies.

The lyrics are taken from Charles Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal, and they explore themes of sin, temptation, and damnation. Galás's interpretation of these words is both visceral and intellectual, as she delves into the psychology of oppression and the power of rebellion.

Diamanda Galás (August 29, 1955, San Diego, USA) is a Greek American performance artist, singer, pianist and composer. Living in New York City since 1989, Galás was born from Greek Anatolian parents, who always encouraged her gift for piano. From early on she studied both classical and jazz, accompanying her fathers gospel choir before joining his New Orleans-style band, and performing as a piano soloist with the San Diego Symphony at 14. During the seventies, she played piano in the improvisational scene around San Diego and Los Angeles with musicians such as Mark Dresser or Butch Morris. She made her performance debut at the Festival dAvignon in 1979, where she sang the lead role in Vinko Globokars opera, "Un jour comme un autre". While in France, Galás also performed Iannis Xenakiss work with lEnsemble intercontemporain and Musique vivante. Galás first rose to international prominence with her quadrophonic performances of Wild Women with Steak Knives (1980) and The Litanies of Satan (1982). Later she created the controversial Plague Mass - a requiem for those dead and dying of AIDS - performed at Saint John the Divine cathedral in New York City. From there, Galás attacked the Roman Catholic church and the society in general for its indifference for the AIDS pandemic.
