ISIDIS.
Songs from the Rock Mystery
6 cultures, 8 languages, one heart, and one tribe.
Our album "Isidiss. Songs from a Rock Mystery" with Alexander Kuindji has been released!
Exquisite art rock, profound house music, ritual songs from around the world, and a unified message of the intoxicating true freedom of the human spirit in Russian poetry - this is how we live and how we celebrate life.
I really want this album to always bring you home - where there is an unchanging, eternally alive, and endlessly fruitful inner paradise.
I am an idealist on the inside, but a realist on the outside, and I do not expect this music to be listened to by millions.
But I know for sure that with those like-minded people who will hear it, love it, and take it into their lives, we will always find each other in the timelessness of the Forgotten Worlds.
And together we will dance in eternity.
Learn more about the songs:
In the original text in Ladino (this is the language of Spanish Jews, similar to old Spanish), which sounds in the middle of our song, it is sung:
Avrix mi galanica,
Que ya va amanecer,
Avrix, no vos abro
Mi lindo amor,
La noche yo no durmo,
Pensando en vos.
(Literal translation -
Open to me, my love, it's already dawn,
Open to me, my love, it's already dawn.
Only about you I think, I can't sleep all night,
Only about you I think, I can't sleep all night)
In the rock-mystery Isidis this song sounds at the beginning of the action, as a general dance in the Earthly Temple. Her text lifts the veil on the magic that will then happen to the characters, immersing the viewer in a mysterious atmosphere, the border between night and morning, where shadows and light collide. And in this confrontation between good and evil, the amazing story of the lovers begins:
Through the gold of dawn
And the labyrinths of dreams
The shadows of night come
To the twilight call.
Your voice is the song of the sun,
Your eyes are the dawn,
And in your braids
The thread of fate is a snake.
Give me your hand and let's breathe life
quickly,
and with every breath we'll ignite
a shower of starry lights.
In the original text of this mantra in Sanskrit it is sung:
"We call upon the three-eyed Shiva,(three-eyed - "all-seeing" on the earth, under it and in the sky)
He will free us from attachments and give us immortality." Shiva in the Indian epic is a symbol of creating something new through the destruction of the old and outdated. This is exactly what happens to the hero - he goes through a difficult path of inner transformation through despair and struggle.
For the rock mystery, I composed a new text that reflects the spirit of the struggle between life and death, good and evil, and man and himself, and then proudly celebrates the victory of light over darkness:
Life that conquers death,
Tears the fabric of fate in two,
Splitting the earth in two,
and rebirths the sun.
In the rock mystery "Isidis," this song is played when the protagonist enters Purgatory, a place where, according to the story, "time has stopped and space has lost its form." But even there, he is mentally accompanied by the heroine, his beloved, and they dance a duet on opposite sides of the "veil of existence".
The lyrics of the song in Russian, which I created specifically for the play, not only repeat the exact translation of the lullaby, but also add even broader meanings:
Durme Durme
Mi alma doncella
Durme Durme
Sin ansia y dolor
(Literal translation - "Sleep, sleep, my soul, sleep, sleep without bitterness and pain")
Sleep, my soul
Between heaven and paradise,
In the whisper of the wind,
In the palms of silence..
There walks slowly
Only time on the edge -
In memory dressed,
In silence dreams.
Tuareg - one of the most mysterious peoples of North Africa. These are nomads who live in harsh desert conditions and consider themselves descendants of the queen of the Sahara lands, the self-willed Tin Hinan. The men wear blue capes, which is why the Tuareg are often called "blue people" and completely cover their face, leaving only a slit for the eyes.
The lyrics of the song say:
The eyes of the Tuareg
Dissected the night on
The desert of death and the flame of life -
Their two moons look exactly into it.
And they laugh at the heavens.
In the middle of the song, a verse of gypsy flamenco from Andalusia, southern Spain, appears, specifically one of the ancient styles of this genre, siguiriya.
"How heavy is my pain,
My bitter poison boils inside -
Every time I take a step forward,
It pulls me back.. "
Despite the rather sad lyrics, the music itself, the vocal line, and the rhythm together create a vivid image of a person who speaks boldly about their despair. However, they do so in order to expose their pain, give it a life-like image, and thus overcome it without denying it.
The last chorus is sung in the non-existent language of the Forgotten Worlds Universe, a fantastic multiverse that we created specifically for the production, which combines ancient cultures, myths from around the world, lost civilizations, and a whole library of all the beautiful ideas created by the human imagination.
Mamaora, give us one more dawn,
Give us one love,
One heart, one tribe
For two of us.
Mamaora, even if it takes a hundred more years,
Time waits
For us in other universes.
In the rock mystery “Isidis,” this song is played at the moment when dawn finally breaks over the night in the Desert of Death, the path through which the hero has endlessly struggled. The hero is visited by the image of his beloved, who leads Death and the Spirits of the Desert away from him and blesses him for the journey ahead.
At this moment, the heroes appear in the guise of the Assyrian queen Semiramis and the ancient Armenian king Ara the Beautiful. He, defeated, is healed by the winged aralez-wolfs, whom Semiramis summoned, as she wanted to bring her beloved back to life.
The lyrics of this song are also spoken in the non‑existent language of the Universe of Forgotten Worlds — a fantastic multiverse we created specifically for the production, which brings together ancient cultures, the myths of the world’s peoples, lost civilizations, and an entire library of all the wonderful ideas.
In the rock mystery "Isidis", this song is played at the moment when the hero, having overcome the Desert of Death and finally seeing the dawn in it, finds himself in the Hall of the Gods - a place between the worlds, where the gods dance and sing in an eternal feast around a sacred fire in the center of the Universe.
In this song, a cheerful dance melody in the middle is replaced by a completely different one in spirit - solemn and at the same time mysterious. The voices merge into a weightless fabric of feelings and inner rhythms, resonating and blending into each other in the numerous galleries of an endless temple in the midst of the worlds.
Lyrics:
(Quechua part)
Shamuririri (Spirit, come to me)
Shamuankuna cayari (Come and call upon)
Cura cura cuerpecito (Heal my body)
Shamuririri (Spirit, come to me)
Shamuririri
Take me into your dream
Shamuririri
Give me a sip of life
Heal all the days that have passed
Shamuririri
Let my wings grow
Give me a sip of life
In the rock mystery "Isidis", this song is a dance of the Bird on the Tree of Life, which, like in old fairy tales, the heroine turns into, accompanying the hero on his thorny path to eternal life.
Lyrics:
(Yoruba part)
Ye ye yeyeo, aremi (Great Mother, my dear)
E buyi wase moro efa (Come and perform a pure holy custom)
Ye kórè wá ala ito (Come and cleanse with sacred water)
Oṣún, aremio (Ochún, dear)
E buyi wase moro efa (Come and perform a pure holy custom)
Lade coyu la wayo, (The crowned Ochún is coming)
Oṣún, aremio (Ochún, dear)
E buyi wase moro efa (Come and perform a pure holy custom)
Ìde wéré wéré ni ta Oṣun (The copper bracelets belong to Ochún)
Ìde wéré wéré ni ta ya (The copper bracelets - it's her sign)
Oṣa kì ní bá ni ti Oṣun (She owns them)
Ṣẹ̀kẹ̀ ṣẹ̀kẹ̀ ni ti ya (Their ringing is her voice)
Ìde wéré wéré (The copper bracelets)
Mother Earth sings with the voice of rain,
The white bird flies high.
Life flows from the tree of fate,
Bitter and ripe,
Mother Earth sings!
Lyrics:
(Yoruba part)
Ìyá là wà, òrìṣà (The Mother is our being, O spirit)
Ìyá là wà, Akakioke (The Mother is our being, O Father of Heaven)
Ta ni fòyú, ẹlẹ́gbà? (Who will purify our eyes, O Lord?)
Obbatala òrìṣà (Obbatala, Heavenly Father)
Aguanile, òrìṣà (Cleanse our house, O spirit)
Ìyá là wà, Akakioke (The Mother is our being, O Father of Heaven)
Mo júbà òrìṣà (I bow to the spirit and its power)
Aché, mo júbà Ilé (I bow to the earth that raised us)
The warrior of the Spirit goes into battle,
The warrior of the Spirit aims at eternity.
The warrior fights with fate itself,
Condemning himself to pain,
Forgetting peace and carelessness,
The Warrior of the Spirit aims for eternity.
Once again to live, once again to die,
An eternal battle, blow after blow.
Once again defeat, once again victory,
Nothing is given for free
For the rock mystery, the text has been translated into Russian in a poetic key to reveal the essence of this appeal to the creator - the power of the human will, which embodies the divine will.
Lyrics:
(Aramaic part)
Nitqadash shimokh, (Hallowed be your name)
Tethe malkuthakh (Your kingdom come)
Nehve tzevyanakh (Your will be done)
Aikanna dbishmaya aph b’arha (On earth as in heaven)
Hav lan lakhma d’sunqanan yomana (Give us today our daily bread)
Ushvuq lan khavayn (Forgive us our sins)
Aikanna d’aph khnan shvaqan l’khayavayn (As we forgive those who sin against us)
V’la ta’lan l’nisyona (Lead us not into temptation)
Ela patzan min bisha (But deliver us from evil)
Metul dilakh hi malkutha (For the kingdom, the power)
V’khayla, V’tishbukhta l’alam almin. Amin (And the glory are yours
now and for ever. Amen)
The flame of eternity, the fire of the heart
Your name burns on my lips.
The heat of my soul is your palm,
The sparks of truth are in your eyes.
The waters will part again,
The mountains will dance in circle,
The bright paradise where love lives,
Your angels guard the gates.
Brighter than the stars, hotter than fire,
Your sunrise burns for thousands of years,
Your will guides me,
And sometimes follows me.
Your word will resurrect the earth,
I will hold your name to my heart,
In my will is your power,
And your light will swallow the darkness.
The lyrics of the song are as follows:
A forgotten temple soars above the mountain,
Seven winds roam within its walls,
And seven saints sing songs there
In dreams, ancient dreams.
Memory carves out the shrouds of fate for us,
This way without an answer leaves us
On the will of all times
With the wind in the hair
To catch the dawn..
The sea of lights shines in the abyss
Of your soul of my soul.
Thousands of years sweet call will not disappear,
It beckons more, it beckons us more..
We will enter his doors,
We will breathe the smoke of incense of holy chants,
Open the arms of the morning and we'll seal the prayer with the dawn.
I believe, and I know you believe, we've solved the mystery of all doubts -
In that temple of mother-of-pearl,
Since the beginning of the world,
We've been betrothed.
The sky calls us to fly
And with wings embrace fate more tightly,
The sky calls us to dance
Around the bonfires of the earth forever.
Rivers of the earth flow in paradise,
Shining with pearls of thousands of promises..
With faith we walk along the edge
Blind road,
Whisper to God the secrets of human worlds.
The wild call of the heart beats in the chest
And thirsts to live,
With the voice of the ancient Forgotten Worlds, open the doors to paradise.
When life is divided into before and after,
Into two halves separated by an abyss,
I hear the beating of your heart.
With each new beat, life triumphs,
And in the silence between them, a sweet-voiced eternity sings.
It calls us to sing and dance.
It leads us to the best days that have ever been, are, and will be.
They haven't gone anywhere, and they've never been a distant dream.
They're here, with you, as long as your heart beats and you dance.

I'm Carina La Dulce, singer, composer and producer. I am a dreamer and invite you to dive into the world of Forgotten Worlds together with my music. I create it in my own style named Dream Ethno Soul and consisting of many beautiful colors of traditional Flamenco, Latin, African, Indian music mixed with the powerful energy of modern Electronic music. I share beautiful ancient stories, witnessed in the infinite space of our soul and narrated by the universal language of our heart.
I was born in Moscow, Russia in the family of big jazz and blues fans and my father used to play guitar and sing Russian romances. My music carries echoes of several world cultures.
I performed in projects of different genres till the moment I immersed deeply in the art of flamenco and decided to devote myself to it due to my great passion to the art of genius singer Camaron de Isla, to his unique inner freedom in music.
When I moved in Granada and after that in Triana, the district of Sevilla, - the craddle of cante hondo - I started to adopt this complicated art from traditional singers and old men who generously opened their secrets for me.
I have performed in the big musical shows Flamenco: Inside and Outside, Picasso, The Legend of Romeo and Juliet, Vagabundo (Russia) and Gypsy Soul (USA)., was a soloist of the Spanish Dance Theater Flamenco Live and the World Music Orchestra Sambateria.
I have also been a special guest performer in various shows Old Spanish Songs with classical musicians, and released an album of old Spanish and Sephardic Songs entitled Andalusia.
I am very proud to be the winner of a Special Jury Prize of one of the largest flamenco festivals ¡Viva España! and to be nominated on Russian World Music Awards 2018.
I am also very happy to often tour US, Europe and CIS countries performing and creating music with many artists from different genres. I was invited as a special guest to perform for officials of Russia and Spain and have participated in a variety of music festivals, including one of the largest international festivals Usadba Jazz.
In 2023, I created the Theater of National and Contemporary Arts "Antares", in whose productions the images of my music - the universe of Forgotten Worlds - come to life. And this is the only theater in the world whose performances combine modern visual technologies - 3D video projections, high-quality live music from rock to ethno-electronics, deep philosophical meanings of plots, colorful designer costumes and a whole galaxy of stars of traditional and modern genres - dancers, musicians and artists.
And I am very grateful to you for being with me. Here we can create magical worlds together, I - by performing them, and you - by embodying them in your heart.
The Universe of Forgotten Worlds is a magical world that unites all my songs, albums and their images - these are the fulfilled and unfulfilled destinies of each of us.
The Universe of Forgotten Worlds is a space in which our most secret dreams and memories of what will happen someday live. In it live the sparkling shores of eternity and the gloomy Desert of Death, from where travelers come out to the call of their will. In it is the Magic Forest of Souls, where dazzlingly glowing birds flutter.
