Review: Dialeto is a heavy prog power trio formed in Brazil. The three members are multi-ethnic. With all this cultural background and also with influences from folk eastern music the band constructed their original and peculiar sound based on the ideal of cultural and ethnic integration, on the concept that the world, as seen from the space, has no frontiers and any language is completely understandable if translated to music. All the synth sounds are created on guitar. David Cross performed on violin with King Crimson from 1972-1974. The last half of this live set revisits some of the highlights of the Crimson catalog from that period.

*1/ Roumanian Folk Dances 3: Standing (3:40) – synth-like sound morphs into rumbling midtempo jam> heavy full frontal attack> quick stop
2/ Roumanian Folk Dances 2: Peasant (3:02) – guitar starts slow, then swings to uptempo jam, then fast jam> quick stop
