Bayon - Bayon (1977)

The debut album from this band from Germany.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, viola, violin, guitars, flute and vocals.

The band released six studio albums between 1977 and 2008 before they split up for the final time. I got three of them for review this summer.

The music is folk rock. Quirky folk rock.

Take chamber music, add some Basque folk rock, some Italian folk rock and some classical music. There is even some Latin-American folk music here.

There is not so much German folk music here. That is the surprise here.

The vocals is good and there is a lot of violins, flutes and acoustic guitars in their music.

The result is a forty minutes long album and a decent album too. I am really looking forward to sample the two remaining albums too.
