The music project AbaNDa SHAKE consists of two persons - Natali Dali & Dimitris Krist, who do not like to talk much about themselves. The words they want to tell the world are comprised in their songs' lyrics. An here's what they say at their webpage: "We think that deeds speak better than words. Our deeds are our music… All is produced by two people - by us - music, lyrics, and everything that goes with it, i. e. concept, artwork, design, photography, entourage, filming, video montage, production and many more… We want people to judge us by our music because our music is our life!"

These people consider themselves cosmopolitans, "children of the world". No matter what color skin you have or what nationality you are - the important is what you have inside. They invented their own definition for the songs they make - "global pop music" - music that can be understood by anyone anywhere in the world, a mixture of different trends and traditions with modern and powerful sound.

Natali Dali and Dimitris Krist had worked together as songwriters (authors and producers) at their music studio for about 7 years before they started the project "AbaNDa SHAKE" in 2003 when the first song "Shake" was recorded. After having recorded an album of 10 songs they began to master the video production so that people could not only hear their music but also watch it. The first album "SHAKE" is planned to be released this year, in 2007. One of the evident ways of spreading it worldwide is through the internet.

Dimitris is a very experienced professional musician, arranger, composer. He is a multi-instrumentalist - he plays all the parts in the songs himself. He also performs the complete sound-producing for the project - recording, editing, progging, mixing, mastering. Natali mostly composes melodies and writes lyrics for the songs, but she also takes part in sound editing, arranging, producing. As for the video production - they together think of the ideas, script the scenarios for their video clips, Dimitris deals with filming and Natali is occupied with video montage. She herself makes all the entourage, artwork and design.

AbaNDa SHAKE have their official website abandashake.com - at the present time it is still under construction - and you can only find their intro there. But they have a comprehensive web page at myspace.com/abandashake where you can listen to their songs, read the lyrics, watch the videos, leave your comments and even chat a little with the band. :)

The songs "Shake RMX", "Cat" and "Money" are tracks number 1, 2 and 3 of the coming album "SHAKE". Listen and enjoy! Maybe after the album release the musicians will lift the curtain over their mysteries and tell more about themselves, who knows? Let's wait and see...

The name AbaNDa SHAKE was very carefully chosen. Here are ten definitions that altogether make the full meaning:

1. AbaNDa (A - banda, a music band of A class)
2. AbaNDa (N+D stand for Natali & Dimitris)
3. AbaNDa (a fest, a holiday associated with the celebrated song)
4. AbaNDa (the warm and sunny southern town)
5. AbaNDa (the female name Amanda with special pronunciation)
6. SHAKE (the first part of the famous English poet of all times' surname - Shakespeare)
7. SHAKE (a mixture of different music trends and styles)
8. SHAKE (an energetic motion that makes you feel the beat and tune to the rhythm of life)
9. SHAKE (a popular dance that gave birth to freestyle dancing and thus entered the history)
10. SHAKE (the name of the first song, clip and album of the project)

So, AbaNDa SHAKE is an energizing hot music drink with separate ingredients a la famous dish "arroz abanda", a picturesque, multi-coloured music cocktail that makes you move, sing and dance, have fun, both relax and think, both contemplate and act…
Also, AbaNDa SHAKE is an abandoned half-full glass that means no matter how much potential is being spent it is never empty, i.e. the band of Natali and Dimitris has many more things to say in music in the future and they always keep the quality up to date...
And finally, AbaNDa SHAKE is a unique phenomenon in global pop music!!!!!!! :))
