AN INTERVIEW WITH MOSES ARU GRAZIONO

Solomon Star News, 24 November, 2006 - 3:40pm.
By MOFFAT MAMU

EVER heard of a man called Moses Aru Graziano? Maybe, maybe not. Well Graziano, from Malaita Province, is a local musician who has been in the music scene since the 1980s. He could be a friend of local string band artist Dickson Matoea whom we ran a story on yesterday. In fact Graziano's story is quiet similar to Dickson who was popular in the 80s with his string band and song "Iu Se Wanem Na Bae'era". But there is something else to Graziano's story that interests me and that is at the age of 48 and years of keeping a low profile - he is now back on the scene.

To those who still do not know who I'm talking about. Well you might know him by his popular song in the 80s which he called "Nice Bola, Nice Bola You Liar Lo Mi". This guy is back to release his third album with the help of a team of experience and young musicians who called themselves "Third Hands". His first album was called Solomon Rock. And if you're one of his die-hard fans then you are in for another heart throbbing sensational album from this father of five. He told Weekend Magazine that his love for music never grew old and had always dreamt of making a come back in the music scene. Graziano's dream has come true and his latest album is called "Saenamu E Kwalaimoki" which according to the singer means "talking about the truth" in Langa Langa language. The 48-year-old dedicated this album to an Anuatu boy - a keen listener and a die-hard fan of Graziano.

The recording was done at SIBC, where he had once recorded his first in 1982 with the help of the Fa'arodo family. His second album was recorded in 2000 during the height of the tension with Unisound Studios but music is more technical and with so many programming in it. This year he returned to SIBC and approached John Adifaka for the possibility of recording his third album. Adifaka said it was a discussion that finally went through with Moses signing a contract to do his recording with SIBC. Adifaka then was given the task to hunt for some of the musicians. He said "Moses contacted me in late August so we talked about it. "And so he was contracted to do the album "After signing the contract I collected some old and new musicians and do the job together.

Like Moses' first album, all the music were recorded live and manually with individual musicians playing their own instruments and recording was done. "There was no programming done to the music because individual players do their own skills," Adifaka said. "It's a big project which we are happy with because its like repeating what has been done in 1981 "But we done it is a best way that we can do it. "It's quite a different from any style of music "This album is a bit different because the music is played live and recorded so the tempo is different. "But its good so that we team up together and team up for the music and assist an old singer who is still around. "We have been working on this album for the last few weeks and months with the final touches to be done on the CDs and tapes. Adifaka who is coordinating the project said that by December the album is expected to hit the airwaves. The style of music is Solomon Rock so the music was kind of rock with little country, the composer and singer, stated yesterday when describing his new album. Four of the songs are slow guitar based rock mixed with country. "It's like bringing back the rock country feeling," Graziano said. Some of the songs he wrote sometimes ago are now in this third album.

Those who are assisting Graziano are on the drums Timothy Anafala, guitars by Ezekiel Wate and Young Willie, Jeffrey on the keyboard and John Adifaka on bass. Most of the songs are own composed songs, which are sung in pidgin, Langa Langa and English. The eleven tracks will be on CDs and tapes. The target is on elders and young ones as well so that they can get a feel of the style of music, says Adifaka. Looking back after all the weeks of recording Moses said "its been a hectic months of practising session at the studio. "I have spent three months out of the family and I wanted to go back home and to be with my family. "I thank the band members for their dedication and hard work in getting this album into reality ready to release. "I thanked them and God from the bottom of my heart because without God I can do nothing. "It's a big achievement for me," he said.
