In 1981, Dutch musician and ethnomusicologist Wouter Swets (1930?2016) took his ensemble ?algija to the studio to record their second album. The recordings were completed, but the liner notes took much more time than anticipated (probably because Swets was working on his lecture series and book on Ottoman art music at the same time). Meanwhile, ?algija?s line-up changed to the extent that the material and performance were no longer considered representative. The project was shelved and eventually forgotten, and Swets went back to the studio in 1983 for a second attempt. While the 1981 master tapes were lost, a cassette copy turned up in the estate of Wouter Swets in 2020. Out of twelve tracks, three were redone and released on other albums. The remaining nine have been supplemented with eight live tracks from 1978: the legendary ensemble in its heyday. All repertoire is traditional, and has been arranged by Wouter Swets. Tracks 1?9 were recorded, mixed and mastered in 1981 by Wil Hesen of Farmsound Studio (Heelsum, Netherlands), who also digitised the material in 2021. Tracks 10-16 were recorded live in 1978 at Theater aan de Haven (The Hague, Netherlands) on a Teac 34-2 tape recorder by Frenk van Meeteren and Jørn Plas for Pan Records, and digitised in 2019 by Wil Hesen. Track 17 was recorded in the same year and same venue, and digitised in 2021 by Jan van Rhenen (Leiden, Netherlands). The material was denoised and mastered by Vangelis Apostolou at Studio Vasmaris (Heraklion, Greece) in 2019 (10?16) and 2021 (1?9, 17). Tracks 10?17 licensed from Pan Records ? 1978, 2021 Read the liner notes online: https://toumilou.nl/calgija-ucayak/ucayak-liner-notes/
