Holy Saturday (Latin: Sabbatum Sanctum), the Saturday of Holy Week, also known as Holy and Great Saturday, the Great Sabbath, Black Saturday, Joyous Saturday, Hallelujah Saturday (in Portugal and Brazil), Glorious Saturday (in the Philippines), Påskafton (in Sweden) or Easter Eve, and called "Joyous Saturday" or "the Saturday of Light" among Coptic Christians, is the day after Good Friday. It is the day before Easter and the last day of Holy Week in which Christians prepare for Easter. It commemorates the day that Jesus' body lay in the tomb and the Harrowing of Hell.
So for this eve, we play something that suits the day "Black Saturday", it's taken from an album where I thought the band MANDO DIAO took a step to much out of their own comfort zone. Anyway, there is one good tune on the album "Ælita" and it's this one.
On 23 April 2014 MANDO DIAOs seventh studio album "Ælita" was released in Sweden; the international release was on 2 May 2014. The first single, "Black Saturday", was released in Sweden on 11 January 2014. The new synth-rock sound has led to many disputes amongst fans of the band and critics. The Russian synthesizer "Aelita" has been the source and inspiration for this album, leading away from the former music style.
MANDO DIAO is an alternative rock band from Borlänge, Sweden. The band got their breakthrough with the release of the album "Hurricane Bar". Their main fan base is in Sweden, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Japan. Band members are Björn Dixgård (vocals, guitar), Carl-Johan Fogelklou (bass), Jens Siverstedt (guitar), Daniel Haglund (keyboard) and Patrik Heinkipieti (drums).
Enjoy today's tune and Happy Easter everyone.
