Sardinia (Italy) based female-fronted dark/symphonic/progressive metallers Souls Of Diotima unveiled the official video for "The Princess Of Navarra". The song is taken from their fourth studio album Janas, released early this year via Diotima Records/Rockshots Records.
The video masterfully directed by Daniele Diana was shot on the wonderful coasts of the band's homeland, Sardinia, right on those slopes, between land and sea, where the legend of which the same song speaks is born. The prefect union between the style of this track, with choral parts and sounds coming directly from their mother earth, and the splendid images, take us back in time in a dreamlike and rarefied atmosphere.
The band comments: ""The Princess Of Navarra" is the first ballad of the album. We love this song very much; it transports you, cradles you, encompasses you. Claudia's singing is almost heartbreaking, moving, and enters straight into your soul. For the first time we hear the choral inserts, but it is not a classical choir, it is a Sardinian singing group called Amici del Canto Sardo. The Sardinian choral group has a very particular, unique sound that can't be found anywhere else on the planet. In fact, in 2003 it was named by UNESCO as an example of Intangible Cultural Heritage. This song also tells a Sardinian legend, set in a small town called Santa Maria Navarrese. It is the story of the princess of Navarra and her escape to stay with a servant she had fallen in love with, against her father's will. The princess manages to escape from the tower of the castle where she was locked up by her father, but together with her man she has to face storms at sea to be able to break free and finally live their love story. They manage to save themselves from the stormy seas by landing on a beach, where the town which takes its name from the story is today. Nobody knows whether or not there is any truth is this story."
