Wenn Sorgfalt und Muße auf Leidenschaft und Können treffen, kann in der Kunst Großes entstehen. Bei Toka Incognita (Toka = alb. Terra / Welt) sind alle Zutaten für ein großartiges Album vereint worden: Zeit für Kompositionen - die meisten stammen übrigens von Eda Zari selbst ; Sinn für Melodien und Songwriting; fundierte Kenntnis der eignen musikalischen Wurzeln ebenso wie Offenheit für aktuelle Strömungen; intelligente Arrangements für speziell für dieses Projekt handverlesene Musiker; Aufnahmen ohne Zeitdruck in einem hervorragenden Studio, mit ebenso hervorragenden Technikern. Die Klammer um die 12 Songs wird gebildet von Eda Zari´s wichtigster Inspiration: der iso-polyphonen Gesangskunst ihrer ursprünglichen Heimat Albanien, wie sie vor allem im Süden bis heute gepflegt wird.
Great things can be created in art when diligence and effort meets passion and skill. In Toka Incognita (Toka = Albanian for Terra / world), all ingredients are combined to create something great: time for compositions: most of them are by Eda Zari; a sense for melodies and songwriting; solid knowledge of one's own music roots as well as openness to current trends; intelligent arrangements specifically for the hand-picked musicians for this project; and recordings without time pressure in an excellent studio with just as outstanding technicians. The overriding feature encompassing the 12 songs is formed by Eda Zari's most important source of inspiration: the iso-polyphonic art of singing in her native home Albania as it is cultivated above all in the south till today. However, the special and unique feature is produced by Zari's adaptation of the material into her personal world of music, in which there is also a lot of room for jazz and other popular trends as well as for various rhythmic structures in addition to those typical for the Balkans. A world of music is created, which is probably "Toka Incognita" like the native country of the musicians. But that is precisely what makes this music so exciting and challenges our curiosity! Together with an excellently trained voice, which is never "oversophisticated" but instead full of individual charisma and a high degree of emotional intensity, Toka Incognita is an impressive witness to a living "world music", which also is deserving of this name. It combines different cultures in music, which can otherwise be very different. This is something, which probably only a person can achieve who has experienced both as intensively as Eda Zari.
,,Mit Unterstützung von so klangvollen Namen wie Sebastian Studnitzky (Trom pete), Rhani Krija (Perkussion), Martin Gjakonovski (Bass), einem Streichquartett auf drei Titeln oder gar Dominic Miller an der Gitarre auf ebenfalls drei Liedern sind der Sängerin groovend leichte und zart balladeske, polyphon singbare selbst komponierte Stücke Musik gelungen, die von albanischen Melodien inspiriert auch ganz natürlich nach Nordafrika oder zum Funk und Jazz herüberschauen und faszinierende Brücken schaffen."
