'nzoccu ci vinni a fari a Riga 'un nu sacciu, è lu 29 di giugnu, sugnu stancu mortu, mi vulissi sulu arricogghiri a la me casa, arripusarimi supra lu me lettu, pigghiari lu suli e nun pinzari a nenti, e inveci sugnu 'ccà, arraggiatu ntâ lu ventu di lu Balticu, cantannu pi cuattru cristiani, vuciannu pi farmi sentiri contra li mura di chistu bar a Riga, a Riga. Laat ons gaan, laat ons gaan, laten we Riga verlaten, de Baltische hoofdstad van de wind.

Liepāja, Liepāja la sorra vola en les nostres cares fredes, esperant un estiu millor, un veritable estiu. (Van tijd tot tijd heb ik tegenwind Overspoeld door gedachten Ik kom niet vooruit Ik val Het breekt me M'n hart en ziel Verloren in informatie In een plek Dat ik nooit eerder heb gezien Een geografisch plezier.)

I can be Turkish I can be Greek I can be Asian or European I can be trapped behind a fence behind a wall, ahead of it; thinking of borders like enemies coz I have too many around of me all over here into this island forgotten, forgotten, gone.

Hidden secret, earthly midget we have charm, we have wines off the beat of sunlight. Peaceful, green and quite life, a quiet, quiet life Between iron and Latin slang. Hidden secret, earthly midget we have charm, we have wines off the beat of sunlight. Peaceful, green and quite life, a quiet, quiet life Between iron and Latin slang. A quiet life, a quiet life... Chişinău...

about

"GEOGRAPHY, pt. 3" is Bald Chewbacca's second EP. As the name suggests, it is a follow-up to "Geography, pt. 1", but it is not really. That is why there is no part two...
Its five songs develop further on the author's obsession for geography and its transposition to current society as a whole. This time, the music traveler is brought all the way from the Baltic countries to Moldova, Cyprus and the Andalusian lands, in a way reminiscent of a random South European who gives up on his pursuit of getting a career in the North to move back to friendlier lands.
On "pt. 3", languages mix up even further: instances of Italian, Sicilian, English, German, Dutch, Catalan, Greek and Turkish can be found at some point. Yet, the message still stands as universal, like the whole idea of traveling.

Bald Chewbacca Barcelona, Spain

BALD CHEWBACCA is the electronic conversion of singer-songwriter Angelo Romano. A blend of groovy distorted bass lines, minimalist lyrics on vocoder and an eclectic mix of synthesisers, drone sounds and a FM radio from a Chinese convenience shop. A unlikely encounter between a Sicilian singer, a cheap electric bass and the world of keys, knobs and laptops. ... more
