IMPORTANT :
Cesaria Evora met fin à sa carrière.
Cesaria Evora n’honorera pas les concerts qu’elle devait donner dans les prochaines semaines.
La chanteuse capverdienne, qui vient d’avoir 70 ans le 27 août dernier et que l’on avait vu en avril très en forme sur la scène parisienne du Grand Rex, est arrivée il y a quelques jours à
Paris dans un état de grande faiblesse. Ses nouveaux problèmes de santé font suite à plusieurs interventions chirurgicales qu’elle a subies ces dernières années, dont une opération à coeur
ouvert, en mai 2010.
Les médecins qui la suivent à Paris lui ayant ordonné d’annuler sa prochaine tournée, Cesaria a décidé en accord avec son producteur et manager, José da Silva, de mettre fin de manière
définitive à sa carrière, en renonçant à cette vie itinérante qui la mène aux 4 coins du monde, depuis ses grands débuts en 1991 sur la scène internationale.
Dans une entrevue qu’elle a donnée au journal Le Monde, Cesaria Evora explique sa décision à la journaliste Véronique Mortaigne et adresse un message d’amour à tous ses admirateurs.

Cesaria Evora a commencé sa carrière de chanteuse à Mindelo, sur l’île de São Vicente, il y a plus de quarante-cinq ans. A peine âgée d’une vingtaine d’années, elle chantait déjà les amours qui
se défont et l’isolement des îles du Cap-Vert exprimant un spleen inouï comme en témoignent les enregistrements de l’époque réédités fin 2008 sous le titre « Radio Mindelo ». Qu’elle s’ancre dans
une saudade à l’appel universel ou qu’elle se dissolve sans bruit sur ces îles sous le vent, cette mélancolie atlantique demeure la marque de fabrique de Cesaria Evora. Qu’elle interprète des
coladeras, des chansons entêtantes faites pour danser ou des mornas, le blues capverdien, sa voix saisit inexorablement l’auditeur. Trois ans après « Rogamar », la chanteuse capverdienne revient
avec « Nha Sentimento », un album à la fois grave et léger.

"Scuzzy guitars, crashing drums, unabashed energy and depth of soul."
That's how U.K.'s Rock Sound describes Black Box Revelation. Brussels, Belgium may not be known for producing great rock and roll bands, but don't tell that to 22-year-old Jan Paternoster nor his
20-year-old sidekick Dries Van Dijck,who have been playing together for a decade, already releasing two albums, 2007's Set Your Head on Fire and 2010's Silver Threats (recorded in London's
legendary Konk Studios) that established the duo as a serious force to be reckoned with. A cross between R&B-inflected garage-band rock that takes its cues from mid-'60s Stones and The Kinks
to the most gut-bucket, electric delta blues evocative of Led Zeppelin by way of The White Stripes, The Black Keys and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Black Box Revelation is just that… a musical
revelation that can't be boxed into a single category.
Coming to America to record their stateside debut, My Perception, with producer Alain Johannes [Queens of the Stone Age, Chris Cornell, Them Crooked Vultures] in his L.A. home studio, Jan and
Dries felt right at home in the country where so much of the music that inspired them had been made. The result is their most accomplished album to date, with sound and noise now coalescing into
real songs like the title track and "Rattle My Heart," which might have come straight from Out of Our Heads; the spooky acoustic strains of the Beatles-meets-Kinks British Invasion vibe of
"Bitter," the haunting, stark acoustic "New Sun," the thick ambience of "2 Young Boys," the percussive beat of "Shadowman" and the psychedelic blues of "White Unicorns."
While building up a fan base in Europe by touring with Eagles of Death Metal as well as their own headlining shows in France, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Holland and Scandanavia, the band
has played scattered shows in the States, including two years at SXSW, as well as shows in L.A., New York, Boston, San Diego and San Francisco. Seeing them live, before a packed, sweaty audience
of their crowd-surfing, head-banging fans, is yet another revelation…this one how two guys can create a sound that fills the room-and more.
With My Perception their first official U.S. album, Black Box Revelation will be making their assault on America very soon playing every garage, arena, and stadium!

Production : belle kinoise productions
Pays de production : France
Durée : 73'

Type : documentaire
Pour http://www.africultures.com
Kinshasa, dix millions d'habitants. Capitale déglinguée d'un pays à la dérive, la République démocratique du Congo. Les vieux Kinois vous le diront, en quinze ans "Kin la belle" est devenue "Kin
la poubelle". Pourtant, une extraordinaire énergie se dégage de Kinshasa et sa première expression en est la musique.
La Danse de Jupiter propose une étourdissante virée dans les ghettos de Kinshasa, à la rencontre de ses innombrables musiciens qui se battent pour sortir du néant : rappeurs, bluesmen handicapés,
griots, enfants des rues, inventeurs d'instruments, ndombolistes… Leur talent, leur énergie vitale et leur humour face à l'adversité forcent le respect et l'admiration. Parmi eux, Jupiter, leader
charismatique du groupe Okwess International, est un personnage à la Don Quichotte qui nous raconte sa ville et son long combat pour faire sortir sa musique du ghetto. Depuis vingt ans, il
affirme son style musical en puisant dans l'immense richesse des rythmes et mélodies de son pays. "La RDC a 450 ethnies, des milliers de rythmes inexploités… Nous dormons sur un matelas bourré de
dollars, et pourtant nous crevons de faim!"
Peu à peu, au gré des rencontres et des moments musicaux se dessine le portrait d'une ville en plein chaos animée mais d'une énergie créative stupéfiante...
Fiers, les gamins enchaînent des "je suis congolais" reprenant le leitmotiv de Jupiter "c'est ici, au Congo, que se trouve notre richesse."

"Jupiter's dance" is een documentaire over het maken van muziek, gefilmd in de ghetto's van Kinshasa. Zanger Jupiter Bokondji gidst ons door de plaatselijke muziekscene

Origine du Groupe : North america
Style : Trip Hop , Electronic
Sortie : 2011By Alberto Santillan from http://www.theowlmag.com
U.K. trip-hop veterans Portishead, in their first American tour since the Clinton administration, slayed the Greek Theater in Berkeley. The group’s first two records Dummy and Portishead are
sacrosanct in the ’90s alternative music canon (staffed by vocalist Beth Gibbons, and multi-instrumentalists Geoff Barrow and Adrian Utley) and their 2008 comeback performance at Coachella (and
attending album Third) is already legendary for its might and majesty. Beyond that, though, there was no tour, U.S. or otherwise until now. After co-curating a few days of the All Tomorrow’s
Parties festival, the band’s tour (ending in Denver on the 27th) is incredibly brief and every event is a sold-out testament to the resilience and power of the group.
Their set began with the massive chasm of the Greek Theater aflutter in conversation before the lights suddenly went out and the group (accented in live incarnation by bassist Jim Barr, drummer
Clive Deamer, and keyboard player John Baggott) one by one took the stage with Gibbons last, whose arrival was punctuated by the deafening screams of her fervent faithful.
Roiling into the cinematic churn of “Silence,” every line was an occasion for reinvention. Indeed, it’s gratifying to note that their setlist visited all of the familiar peaks of their
discography. For a band whose recorded works consisted of three albums over 20 years and one live album, it’s daunting to note their immense influence: from Phantogram to the entire chillwave
movement, these guys are legends. And for the next hour and a half, it was exhilarating watching them prove it.
Using the backdrop (but little lighting), the performance was almost confrontational in its intimacy. The band plunged into their second song, “Hunter” which found Gibbons with that wonderful and
seasoned instrument of her voice asking “And if I should fall, would you hold me?” Elsewhere, the band aimed for atmosphere and power. A few songs later during “The Rip,” an acoustic swoon gave
way to a synth-driven anthem.
Older and beloved material was pretty stripped down: “Wandering Star” found the band at the peak of lounge-rock, with the combined telepathy of the group underscoring Gibbons’ confessions with
empathy and solidarity. That said, they knew the strength of attack: “Machine Gun” was as thunderous and jarring as anything I’ve seen at a live show this year. Familiar guitar breaks and band
cues elicited screams. It was safe to say that a lot of the group’s California cult was in attendance and the band knew it too.
A lot of the set was built around various material because that’s where their hearts are: on progression and growing. Portishead dipped into ’90s material with “Glory Box” and “Over,” which were
every bit as heart-tugging and evocative as you could imagine. After a momentous rendition of “Threads,” the group departed, only to return for a two-song encore that featured a surging take on
“We Carry On” highlighted by Gibbons jumping into the photo pit and high-fiving the fans. The joy that was felt by those in attendance was nothing short of contagious, though it’s worth noting
that Portishead, an iconoclastic and uncompromising as they’ve always been, can tour at their own convenience. See them if you can. Portishead are back, everybody. Recognize.

Sortie : 1970Par Ayler pour http://american-music.forum-actif.eu
"Them Changes" est le grand classique de Buddy Miles - à défaut d'être devenu un classique tout court, ce que cet album mériterait pourtant. Les huit titres du disque sont tous remarquables, dans
des styles différents, toujours efficaces.
Buddy propose une version plus Noire de son "Them Changes", avec section de cuivres et Billy Cox à la basse. Sa reprise du "Down By The River" de Neil Young est magnifique (Buddy se fend d'un
solo de guitre), de même que celle de l'Allman Brothers Band ("Dreams").
Buddy rend un nouvel hommage à Otis Redding, son idole, avec une courte relecture de "Your Feeling Is Mine".
"Memphis Train", produit par Steve Cropper, est en fait un inédit du Buddy Miles Express, sans doute enregistré après les deux premiers albums du groupe (écarter un tel titre serait
surprenant).
Sur "Paul B. Allen, Omaha, Nebraska", Buddy joue avec un organiste et un guitariste un jazz dans l'esprit de Jimmy Smith & Wes Montgomery, qui rappelera le "Rainy Day Shuffle" aux amateurs de
Jimi - en plus abouti.
"I Still Love You, Anyway", est une composition de Charlie Karp, son nouveau guitariste alors âgé de seulement 15 ans, dont voici le témoignage de sa rencontre avec Buddy (et de la première
partie du concert de Jimi au LA Forum en 1970) :

Origine du Groupe : North America
Style : Soul Blues
Sortie : 1958-1967From http://avaxhome.ws
Garnet Mimms & The Enchanters
During the Kennedy era, the pop charts accommodated the occasional piece of early soul, but pretty much all of them were recordings that fit snugly into the realm of mainstream pop. (Don Gardner
& Dee Dee Ford’s "I Need Your Lovin’" in 1962 was a notable exception.) However, in July of 1963, a song came out that was so gritty, emotional and gospel-like, its pop chart peak of #4 was
nothing short of a miracle. That song was "Cry Baby" by Garnet Mimms & The Enchanters.
Garnet Mimms was born Garrett Mimms in Ashton, West Virginia, on November 26, 1933, one of seven children. When he was a young man, the Mimmses moved to Philadelphia. Like so many other deep soul
singers, Garnet (as he liked to be called) received his earliest musical experience in the church. His mother was an accomplished pianist who also sang in the choir and nurtured her son’s
interest in singing.
Mimms attended Gratz High School, after which he began working at a laundry. That did not last long, however, as he followed his real calling by joining gospel quartets. All his associations were
brief and he never recorded with any group. He was, however, with two Philadelphia groups, the Norfolk Four and the Evening Star Quartet, and later sang with the Harmonizing Four and the
Sensational Nightingales. Garnet’s time on the gospel road put him in touch with two other singers, Sam Bell and Charles Boyer, who both would play a role in the Enchanters.
During a two-year stint with the Army, Mimms formed an R&B group called the Deltones. Upon his discharge in 1958, he sought out his old friend Sam Bell, and started a group called the
Gainors, whose line-up also included Howard Tate (q.v.). In July of 1958, the Gainors made their first record, for the Red Top label in Philadelphia, who leased the master to Cameo. The Gainors
got a regional hit out of "The Secret." Subsequent affiliations with the Mercury (1959-60) and Tally-Ho (1961) labels produced no further success.
In 1961, Mimms and Bell disbanded the Gainors and built a new ensemble by teaming up with their old friend Chares Boyer and a distaff member, Zola Pearnell, who had considerable choir experience.
They called themselves Garnet Mimms & The Enchanters to emphasize what they felt was the strength of the group, namely Mimms’ incredible voice. The new group auditioned for the
Philadelphia-born record producer Jerry Ragovoy, who by this time had relocated to New York City. Ragovoy was impressed enough to work with them.
Although the first recordings were billed as "Garnet Mimms & The Enchanters," Ragovoy actually used the Sweet Inspirations as the background singers. In 1963, they went into Bell Sound and
created "Cry Baby." Ragovoy took it to a number of record companies, but because the record was so unusual for its time, they all turned it down. Finally, United Artists picked up the single and
released it in July. "Cry Baby" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 on August 17, 1963, and made the R&B chart on September 7th. By October, it had reached #4 pop and #1 R&B—and the soul
era, thank god, was finally upon us. (Janis Joplin, by the way, covered "Cry Baby" on her album Pearl.)
Mimms’ follow-up single, "Baby Don’t You Weep," was essentially a rewrite of "Cry Baby" that reached #30 pop. (By this time, Billboard had temporarily ceased publication of its R&B chart.)
The flip, a remake of Jerry Butler’s "For Your Precious Love," did even better, peaking at #26. That fall, United Artists also released the album Cry Baby and 11 Other Hits, a genuinely good LP
with little filler that reached #91 in Billboard. (The Who covered "Baby Don’t You Weep" in 1965.)
By 1964, Beatlemania was upon us, and deep soul would have to wait a couple of years to reach the pop top ten again, with Percy Sledge’s "When A Man Loves A Woman." Garnet Mimms & The
Enchanters felt the sting of the British Invasion, and only made the pop top forty once more, with "I’ll Take Good Care Of You" (#30, 1966). From 1968-70, Mimms (now sans the Enchanters) and
Jerry Ragovoy recorded without success on Verve.
In the meantime, Garnet Mimms had achieved a cult following in England, where he made eleven tours, one of which (in 1967) saw him opening for the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Mimms left Ragovoy
1970, and subsequently recorded for Lloyd Price’s GSP label in 1972, but again without success. In 1977, Mimms returned briefly to the charts with a funk tune called "What It Is?"

Space Madness is a dazzling collection of songs showcasing Sarah White’s remarkable songwriting skills, vocal abilities and her knack for dropping incredibly hypnotic, well refined,
electro-acoustic soul bangers. The album is tightly reinforced with stylistically inventive and deep-leaning, future soul-funk productions from multi-talented musician and producer Rico Simon
Mendez (a.k.a. DJ Don Cuco) with additional productions from Hadyn, Teddy G, and PoLo (PapaJazz) and vocal contributions from Cecilia Stalin and Nicholas Ryan Gant. Space Madness is an
emotionally honest, life-affirming, and gorgeous record, full of unrelenting positive messages. Album opener “Reachin' Up” is a compellingly sombre yet blues melting jam which beautifully
highlights Sarah’s understanding and sense of classic American soul, while songs like “Fam” and “Nu Life” are positively woozy, future boogie electrosoul transmissions, absolutely lush with
impressive synths, string orchestration, and tastefully distorted guitars. All this suspended atop propulsive rhythms and percussions, and Miss White remains consistently arresting, on point, and
elegant throughout. It’s truly a beautiful collaboration; a brilliant voice with a forward-leaning, unique musical vision.
