World Music: DVA, "France Trance"
(Czech Republic) Bára Kratochvílová and Jan Kratochvíl are DVA, which means "two." Their record label describes their music as "cabaret, beatbox, tango, popsongs, acoustic, electro acoustic and lo-fi folk." In other words, this is highly individual and personal stuff, and part of it is the creation of faux languages. As the two remarked in an interview, "We like travelling. We drove our old Skoda 120 to Lithuania and Latvia for our two week honeymoon. Sitting in the street and listening to the languages, which we did not understand, was the best thing." "France Trance" shows that they have indeed absorbed everything about the French language -- except the grammar, vocabulary and sense of it. The video is a visual tickle, with real eyes and a mouth floating on a balloon head, creating some truly wonderful moués, while the downbeat accompanist sings a percolating bass line and takes a kazoo-like vocal break.
