    Origine du Groupe : V.A Cuba

    Style : World Music , Rumba

    Sortie : 2000



    Kip Hanrahan is one of the most enigmatic figures in American music. He presides over recording sessions like a sage elder (or perhaps a dictator). Though he often takes no part in the actual
    musical performances, his mere presence as Producer and Composer seems to direct his loyal musicians in interpreting his music, which has been described as “soundtracks to films that don’t
    exist”. His earlier releases on American Clave, likeDesire Develops An EdgeandVertical’s Currency, paired the surreal vocals of ex-Cream bassist Jack Bruce with noir jazz charts of rich
    exoticism. More recently he’s taken a more accessible interest in Afro-Cuban music and channeled it through the excellent group Deep Rumba (Rumba Profunda). His taste for dark moods still
    predominates, even on the more upbeat selections. This disc, the second Deep Rumba recording, effectively transportsBuena Vista Social Clubto the seediest of Havana bars, with junkies shooting up
    in the back booths and slutty waitresses with overflowing cleavage proffering powerful rum concoctions. For all its lightlessness, however, Deep Rumba is far more appealing to the mainstream
    audience than the Hanrahan/Bruce collaborations. The titular leader didn’t even compose any of these works; he simply bills himself as Musical Director and offers up a background vocal on track
    #6.



    Hanrahan gathered some outstanding company for this session. Tenor man Charles Neville (of those famous New Orleans brothers) rubs elbows with fusion drummer Robby Ameen,Buena Vistatimbalero
    Amadito Valdes, and Latin jazzers like bassist Andy Gonzales, drummer “El Negro” Horacio Hernandez, and conguero Giovanni Hidalgo. The rhythms and song structures are mostly true to traditional
    Cuban forms. The disc opens with a woeful lament by Neville’s solo tenor sax, which leads into a hot drum duet by Ameen and El Negro. The percussionists take us from Bourbon Street to Birdland,
    then finally down to Old Havana where the enchanted voice of Xiomara Lougart tempts us with pensive beauty. Track #2 has a discomforting juxtaposition, so typical of Hanrahan: the slow, gentle
    ballad sounds of Lougart and violinist Alfredo Triff float ethereally over a veritable volcano of percussion. Triff also plays wild, distant jungle howls on the unusual #15, which features
    Gonzales’ bowed bass.



    More traditional Cuban sounds are scattered around the disc, with many unexpected twists. Track #7 is especially abstruse, a trio of tenor sax, vibrant bass, and El Negro clicking two large metal
    keys together like claves. The next track is a brief, memorable rendition of the classic Besame Mucho ; Lougart sounds like she’s lounging half-drunk on a worn couch, a full ashtray sitting on
    the floor. Vocalist Haila Monpie’s contributions are also noteworthy, her voice being more youthful and less dusky than Lougart’s. Other excellent lead vocals are provided by the soulful Pedro
    Martinez and Puntilla Orlando Rios, a nice variety overall. The disc closes strangely, with the disembodied telephone-voices of Velibor Pedevski and El Negro over a pointillistic ground of
    handclaps and percussion played on some type of metal “sculptures”. As always, Hanrahan leaves us puzzling over the unforeseen. This is an unconventional but most entertaining disc, especially
    recommended for those who like a middle ground between Latin jazz and Buena Vista-style traditionalism.

    Hasard du calendrier des sorties 2007 : à une première salve largement composée de groupes sortant leur premier ou second album, succèdent de nouveaux disques d'artistes déjà confirmés, dont on
    pourrait dire qu' ils montrent aux jeunes où il faudra en être dans quelques années pour ne pas tomber aux oubliettes.



    Ainsi deux semaines après Nick Cave et son groupe Grinderman, ce sont les américains de Low qui publient leur (déjà) huitième album, donnant suite à The Great Destroyer sur lequel le groupe était
    sorti de ses ambiances parfois un peu catatoniques pour livrer un vrai disque rock et enlevé. Sur Drums and Guns, si Dave Fridmann officie à nouveau derrière la console, c'est à un retour à des
    climats beaucoup plus sombres et intimistes qu'ils nous convient, sans pour autant se répéter.



    Car Drums and Guns est un album aussi sobre en surface qu'il est riche dans le fond, aussi minimaliste de prime abord qu'incroyablement dense dans sa production. Pas de guitares ou si peu, des
    rythmes froids et machiniques, réchauffés par les parties vocales. Pretty People, le morceau introductif, donne l'impression de littéralement sortir de terre, sonne comme une complainte teintée
    de douleur. Les thèmes abordés sont la mort et le meurtre, et ça s'entend : on ne rigole pas beaucoup à l'écoute de cet album qui réclame toute l'attention de son auditeur, mais on n'a pas non
    plus à faire à un manifeste morbide, car tout est construit pour inciter à l'introspection ou à la réflexion. Chaque chanson évoque une transcendance des émotions que peuvent engendrer ces
    thèmes.



    On pourrait citer tous les morceaux, contentons-nous de Dragonfly pour sa mélodie qui jaillit de presque rien, Take Your Time et son refrain poignant, Murderer pour le contraste entre la gravité
    de son thème et la poésie qui se dégage des orchestrations. Même si le rapprochement pourra paraître audacieux, on pensera à ce qu'avait réalisé Bashung en 2002 avec L'Imprudence. Un disque
    lumineusement sombre, faussement aride, poétique. C'est ce que réussit Low avec Drums and Guns et c'est un tour de force.

    Origine du Groupe : Jamaica

    Style : Reggae , Dub

    Sortie : 1980-82



    From Wikipedia :

    Billy Boyo (born Billy Theophilus Rowe, September 21, Kingston, Jamaica 1969 – October 29, 2000) was a reggae artist, was probably the most prolific of the early-80’s child MC’s. He is famous for
    his song "One Spliff a Day".



    Billy Boyo was still in his teens when he emerged in the early eighties. In 1983 he (together with Little John and Ranking Toyan) went to London where he linked up with producer Silver Kamel.



    Along with the above noted "One Spliff A Day," Billy also charted in 1982 with the Henry Junjo Lawes produced single "Wicked She Wicked." This hit had the added charm of a 13 year old kid-voice
    on the mic chanting about a wicked girl.



    Billy Boyo wasn't a prolific recording artist as he did not record much before or after the tracks for the first two albums and was maybe more known as a live MC. His musical career was
    short-lived and little was heard of him since the second half of the eighties. In the early 1980s rumor spread that Billy Boyo and Little Harry had been shot and killed. However this proved to be
    untrue. Billy in fact died of a brain tumor on October 29, 2000 after a two month long struggle to beat the disease.

    Dirty bailarina es el cuarto álbum de estudio de Mala Rodríguez.



    El título es una especie de personaje conceptual creado por la propia artista. "Es un trabajo de ciencia ficción. El personaje principal es 'Dirty Bailarina', el cual me inspiro mi tataranieta.
    La acción transcurre en un tiempo alternativo, solo hay que reflexionar el punto donde estamos, para darnos cuenta hacia donde vamos... En ese lugar arranca el álbum, desde ese marco ella muestra
    su música, todo lo que siente y por qué... 'Dirty Bailarina' son palabras que unidas, evocan una imagen concreta. La imagen de una mujer que expresa su arte sin miedo a ensuciarse".



    "A medida que iba escuchando los versos y las melodías en mi cabeza... me iba dando cuenta de que Dirty bailarina sería un álbum diferente. He querido mostrar todo lo que tenia en los bolsillos,
    la búsqueda del ser es la mayor de las aventuras. Lo más destacable es que además de seguir hablando de lo social, hablo del amor".



    "A veces da igual lo que pasa ahí fuera, lo que importa es lo que pasa aquí dentro, es entonces cuando aparecen mensajes universales, transcendentes que nos tocan a todos, como hermanos que
    somos, mas allá de la critica consciente o del puro divertimento".



    Un disco compuesto por 12 temas, más 1 inédito solo disponible en su edición digital.



    Grabado en Atlanta (Estados Unidos). Colaboran en las labores de producción el americano Focus (Dr. Dre, Beyonce, Busta Rhymes, Jennifer Lopez, Cristina Aguilera) y los españoles Griffi y Sr
    Tcee.



    "La rapera Mefe ha sido mi invitada, tenía muchísimas ganas de compartir un ritmo con ella, tiene mucho talento y estoy feliz de que sea parte de ".



    "Tener a Estrella Morente como broche ha sido algo, absolutamente maravilloso".



    Con un sonido rítmico, y con letras de carácter social.

    I hope the cover, name and preview are enough to convince people to get this, because I really am not sure how to describe it. It’s like, extremely experimental hip-hoppy IDM with an occasional
    (and very pretty) female vocalist, but that’s not even close to how it sounds like. I don’t really like using the term, but “avant-garde” is all that I can really think of. All I really know is
    that they’re a group of people from Japan who’ve been active since 1999, going through some lineup changes and making some all-around quirky, fun, great music. It’s kind of poppy and mellow
    sometimes, mostly on tracks like (R.I.P) Tide and Pinky, and at other times really chaotic and energetic, à la 2 More Heads_Sprouted! or Saddam Fed Bird While Jailed. It’s really crazy, try

     Creativity is something that cannot be forced and the most distinctive and rewarding artistic fellowships are those that follow a natural path to fruition. What brought together guitarists
    Vlatko Stefanovski and Miroslav Tadic 15 years ago was an act of faith. They were introduced to each other by another musician who was aware of their mutual love for guitars and Macedonian folk
    music. In the period that followed they went to work on  Krushevo (M.A. Recordings 1997), a record that is considered to be seminal and groundbreaking.



    Since Krushevo was released, Stefanovski and Tadic have not only made three records together, but they have continued to unite in concert settings, despite the numerous projects they both have in
    addition to this partnership. Their collaborative project proved to be anything but problematic, instead feeding and nurturing an alchemical connection. The tours that followed have allowed them
    further to continue to explore the possibilities that have been laid at their feet. Building upon their shared love of bending genres until they break, Stefanovski and Tadic seamlessly blur the
    lines between traditional folk music, jazz, rock, flamenco and classical. It isn't about where the songs begin but where they end, and that gives the duo its distinct flavor.



    In 2005, the duo welcomed a new member, the Bulgarian flautist Teodosii Spasov, adding a new dimension to the music. Live in Zagreb was recorded during a summer tour in Croatia in 2007, when the
    trio itself expanded into a quartet by introducing the Indian master percussionist Swapan Chaudhuri. The album is a stunning celebration of the project's past, present and future. It sums up the
    whole trajectory, as it begins with the duo guitars, then the trio is introduced, and finally the quartet is heard.



    Starting with "Dafino Vino Crveno," (Dafina with cheeks like red wine), the guitar duo plays with a bright fire that never goes out, even on more laid-back, plaintive numbers such as this one. It
    seems that the two players are completely engaged in conversation as they magically complete each other's lines. "Izlezi Vido" (Come out Vida, to see a miracle), is a funky folk song with the two
    guitars setting off into improvisations like twins joined at the hip, something to be expected from virtuosi with such distinguished backgrounds.



    "Ej Ti Momche Ohridjanche" (Hey you boy from Ohrid) is an upbeat reel that introduces the trio with Spasov. What is amazing about this trio is that the unit has no single sound identity, though
    their aesthetic is distinct and readily identifiable. Owing to their long-standing association, the three communicate with heightened perception, anticipating each others' curveballs and
    responding in kind. When improvising, the trio weaves in and out of meter and harmony, yet always emerges together before the mood shifts anew. The structure of the melody is respected but
    outside of that it's open season.



    For a long time, this project drew associations with guitarist John McLaughlin's Shakti, because of the musicians' virtuoso abilities, improvisational madness and breadth of influences, their
    folk music associations, and the emotional depth of their style. The introduction of Chaudhuri makes such comparisons more vivid and tangible. Apart from holding a master's degree in music and
    being conferred honors for his distinguished contributions in the field of tabla by the government of India, and as well as performing with world renowned artists such as sitar maestro Ravi
    Shankar, Chaudhuri is also a member of the teaching staff at the California Institute of the Arts in California. So is Miroslav Tadic.



    On tracks such as "Prosheta Se Jovka Kumanovka," (Yovka from Kumanovo went for a stroll), and especially "Anadolu oyun havasi," which is a 16 minute tour de force, the quartet's seamless
    interplay is quite remarkable. It delivers consistently inventive music while combining the discipline of classical chamber music with the openness of free improvisation. There is a perfect
    balance between the two, strung halfway between heaven and earth.



    The group's music in general is a milestone in cross-cultural music, fusing Macedonian folk music with various styles including the arcane percussion disciplines of Indian music. This is
    thoughtful, inspired guitar work woven out of tasteful tones and performed with brilliant virtuosity against a sublime backdrop of percussion and flute. The album is the audio equivalent of pure
    beauty.
