Cette jeune française originaire du Cap Vert , à le mérite de nous avoir gratifier d'un excellent album reggae .

D'autant plus que les chanteuses sont assez rare dans ce genre de style musical , alors il est bon de le souligner que Mo'Kalamity est une perle du reggae francais .

Elle nous délivre une musique empreinter dans certains moment au groove et à la soul tout en restant dans une tradition reggae roots and concious jamaicain ; bien entendu les Wisards qui
l'accompagne ne sont pas sans compter dans l'histoire , puisque ayant eu l'occasion d'apprécier c'est magnifique artistes en Live ; Je puis vous assurrez que les musiciens qui l' accompagne son
d'une performance plus que honnorable "Dubwise" man !

Bref Mo'Kalamity & The Wizards ço s'écoute comme du petit pain héhé , et pis aller les écouter en live
!!

"...in spain the rain stays mainly on the plane..."



Sorti en 2000 chez Crash Disques, Zenzile + Jamika est le 1er volume de la série des 5+1,

maxis initiés par le crew angevin Zenzile qui invitera tour à tour Jamika, Sir Jean (des Meï Teï Shô) ou encore Vincent Ségal (moitié de Bumcello).



Pour la petite histoire, Jamika Ajalon, slammeuse américaine, a rencontré la route des Zenzile lors d'une joute improvisée à Brixton. Suite à cet incident (dont on aimerait qu'il y en ait tous
les jours, du genre Ez3kiel qui rencontre Daau, Improvisators Dub et High Tone ensemble en studio...mais stop, cessons de rêver...), les Zenzile l'ont invitée à venir poser sa voix sur ce qui
allait devenir, ce qu'on appelle, un disque de haute volée. Attention à l'atterrissage... Lunaire, évidemment.



Jamika se lâche donc en studio avec Zenzile et nous offre, posée sur un dub atmosphérique maîtrisé jusqu'au bout des doigts, sa voix fiévreuse balançant toujours entre phrasé hip hop et
contractions rock. Se succèdent sur le maxi, morceaux chantés et morceaux instrumentaux, les hostilités débutant avec un Revolution At nous laissant nous régaler dès les premières notes du couple
infernal, et enchaînant ensuite sur Love Child qui persiste et signe un bal étourdissant entre énergie Zenzilesque et ce chant si enivrant de Jamika, taxée de " dub poétesse ", peut être en
raison de ses paroles, toujours précises, souvent drôles, voire complètement décalées .... mais toujours gorgées de lumières.



Alors si vous tentez de fuir la monotonie ambiante, ou si vous étiez en hibernation depuis quelques années et que vous êtes passé (e) à côté de ce chef d'oeuvre, vous savez certainement ce qu'il
vous reste à faire...

Mélina Kana, qui est une chanteuse grecque que j'ai découverte en l'an 2001. Elle possède une voix puissante et tendre très expressive qui me fait fondre de bonheur. Je ne me lasse pas d'écouter
ses chansons dont les airs semblent dès la première écoute étonnamment familiers

Bien que de consonance grecque, l'instrumentation de ces chansons est variée: le bouzouki fait place au traditionnel piano puis à l'insolite
cornemuse.

Le luth et le baglama accompagnent avec bonheur la voix cristalline de Mélina Kana. En s'entourant de grands compositeurs grecs, elle a réussi à
créer, comme Arvanitaki, un passage entre la culture musicale de la Grèce méditerranéenne et celle de l’Asie centrale orientale

Sortie : 1989

By Alex Henderson, All Music Guide



In world music, some instruments are so distinctive that hearing only a few notes brings to mind a particular country and a particular culture. No instrument is more identified with Japan than
the koto (even though the koto was actually invented in China and brought to Japan by the Chinese), and just as no wind instrument evokes thoughts of Scotland more quickly than Celtic bagpipes,
no string instrument says "India" more than the sitar. It's hardly India's only important string instrument -- even those with only a casual interest in traditional Indian music should know about
the vina, the sarod, the sarangi, and the surbahar -- but it's certainly among the country's most recognizable. One of North India's excellent sitarists is Partho Das, whose Music of the Sitar
was recorded in Delhi in June 1989. This album finds him playing three instrumental North India-style ragas; the shortest is the eight-minute "Dhun in Raga Bhairavi," while "Raga Bageshri" lasts
30 minutes, and the equally hypnotic "Raga Yaman" lasts 28 minutes. Such extended performances aren't for those with short attention spans, but because Das is such a master of his instrument, he
has no problem holding the attention of serious sitar enthusiasts. Das is joined by tabla drummer Rashid Mustafa on this excellent CD.

A very funky, soulful, urban sound that will evoke images of late night lounges in the hippest part of the city. "How Ya Like Me Now" brings on some retro styles and showcases Matt's signature
lead sound. Carl Burnett adds his magic touch on production (Larry Carlton, Boney James, etc). Seduction, I Will Be With You, Gas Lamp Groove, Family Funktion all deliver a very chilled out
smooth experience that blends R&B and Smooth Jazz. There is also the pleasant surprise "Great Soul." A very unique track that delivers a mix of jazz, hip hop, and Bollywood Indian grooves
(produced by Chris Marshak) The guitar style on this tune is reminiscent of John Mayer. There is the emotional "Gratitude" that brings an unforgettable melody. Don't forget about the very funky
Uptown that features funkmaster Kenny Harris on bass.

I was very excited to be asked to review Katchafire's third studio album, Say What Your Thinking, as I am a big fan of their two previous releases, Revival (2003) (which
featured the highest selling NZ single of 2003) and Slow Burning (2005). Both albums gained high praise.

For this release, the seven-piece crew stepped into Auckland's York Studios at the end of 2006 with a different line-up.  The very talented Thompson Hohepa (guitarist/vocals) left the group
as did highly acclaimed NZ bassist, Ara Adams-Tamatea. The bands original bass player, Tere Ngarua, is back on bass duties with Ara continuing on as the groups booking agent.

Katchafire keep going from strength to strength and Say What Your Thinking is no exception! All aspects of this album impressed me from the production to the song-writing. Katchafire
have put together the prefect sound track for summer! 

The album kicks off with the title track, Say What Your Thinking, which begins with an awesome sax intro before it breaks into an infectious skanked-out catchy hook. It has some
beautiful backing singing giving it a very soulful feel. Say What Your Thinking is the perfect introduction to Katchafire's feel good vibes if you're a first time listener of their
music.

Now Girl is the second track and is an excellent lovers tune for the ladies, with a nice Island feel and a very catch hook. There are also several other standout tracks for me. The very
dubby J-Dubb with a very heavy bass line is sure to rattle your insides on a big rig. This World is another feel good track depicting the plight of the world today and Meant
To Be is another lovers tune with a mean bass line and very catchy horn section!

Katchafire also have an extra instrumental track, Agent-H, which is not included on the album release but can be purchased through iTunes as a single release.

Whether you're already a Katchafire fan or if you haven't heard them before, Say What Your Thinking is a must have for summer!! Big up to Katchafire for bringing such sweet sounding good
vibe tunes!

From Official Site :



Seattle based producers Adam Straney and Justin Neff have created a unique style of instrumental music featuring organic and synthetic beats combined with evolving soundscapes, dreamlike sax,
dusty samples, soaring synths, and pulsing drum machines that can only be defined as The New Law.



Adam began his musical career playing guitar, bass, and drums in punk bands throughout his youth. In college he discovered a new love for Drum ‘n’ Bass music, which soon led to DJing and
producing. Justin began playing the piano at age six, picked up the saxophone at age twelve, and has played in jazz, funk and rock bands ever since. The duo met during college while working at a
movie theater, and their mutual passion for music of all genres served as a foundation for what would become The New Law.



More than half a decade later, The New Law has been featured as an up-and-coming artist in magazines and websites such as properlychilled.com, textura and 80bpm.net, in addition to being selected
as Urb Magazine’s Next 1,000 Artists.
