"The best that this world can offer OliveTreeDance is a space
station... overlooking the galaxy of Sun Ra." In Blitz, Sérgio Gomes da Costa
"The second day of the festival once again failed to capture the attention of the public
and the scenery became bleak. Fortunately, the OliveTreeDance concert managed to
transform the empty space into a meeting of celebration, and multi-cultural. The group
uses in a perfect way the potential of percussion, focusing on didgeridoo to create a
tribal climate, something primitive, and it involves body and soul in a breeze from the
African continent (...) It is easy to see why the OliveTreeDance have achieved some
progress internationally, they are good at making music." Felgueiras in News
"In concert, they place the free jazz and psychedelia hiding trance, funk intruding,
techno and drum'n'bass in search of an outlet, and a number of ethnic groups on the
way home. The organization asked the public not to rise, but it all ended in a healthy
buzz." In Blitz - general
“…É banda para três pessoas (Renato Oliveira, Paulo das Cavernas e Tito Silva), distribuídas por um didgeridoo, percussão e bateria. Em concerto, põem o free jazz e o psicadelismo a esconder o trance, o funk sempre a intrometer-se, o tecno e o drum’n’bass à procura da tomada eléctrica, e uma série de etnias a caminho de casa. A organização bem pediu que as pessoas não se levantassem, mas acabou tudo num saudável alvoroço. Por essa altura, a diferença de temperatura entre a rua e sala deve ter rondado os 4OC, à custa de muita gente num espaço tão exíguo e de tanta combustão dançante. O encore teve direito a Teresa Gabriel, num tema específico para o festival, porque sentiram que era preciso dar «um ar mais étnico» à visita. Foi o pior tema, a provar que o melhor que este mundo pode oferecer aos OLIVETREE é uma estação orbital... com vista para a galáxia de Sun Ra. “ In Blitz, Sérgio Gomes da Costa - BLITZ - Portugal

Espectáculo acústico da responsabilidade de Renato Oliveira (didgeridoo), Tito Silva (bateria) e Paulo das Cavernas (percussões), os Olivetree são um dos projectos mais estimulantes da actualidade.
Mágico...

Dia 08 de Julho
O segundo dia do festival voltou a não captar a atenção do público e o cenário chegou a ser desolador. Felizmente, o concerto dos Olivetree (na foto) conseguiu transformar o vazio do espaço num encontro de celebração musical e multi-cultural. O grupo usa e abusa das potencialidades da percussão, centradas no didgeridoo, para criar uma envolvência tribal, algo primitiva, e que envolve o corpo e o espírito numa brisa vinda do continente africano. Acompanhada pelo odor característico da Terra e das suas raízes. É fácil perceber a razão pela qual os Olivetree têm conquistado uma certa progressão internacional; eles são bons na música que fazem.
