Bonne Arrivée ! “Ivory Coast Soul” is back, with Djamel Hammadi aka Afrobrazilero and DJ Julien Lebrun have dug deeper into the country’s vinyl archives!
After much painstaking research and investigative work, we are finally able to catch-up and gather together some key members of seminal Afro and Psychedelic outfit. We selected 13 afro-soul gems,
centered mainly on the musically rich and creatively volatile Republic of the Ivory Coast during the 70s.
However the country has recently lived the unfortunate civil war, the deep socio-political crisis and instability, strong FRCI visa checkpoints or road killers, we’ve worked even harder with the
help of our local friends to find the rarest and most interesting records. Last but not least, after many new trips, from Abobo “Baghdad “area, Yopougon, Bouaké, to Akoupé, or Jacqueville,… we
also had to find their original producers or heir producers, to finalize the licensing process. This new volume highlights some extraordinary music and immense talent working in a variety of
styles and approaches.
Ivory Coast gained its independence from France on August 7th 1960 and became a republic with a strong executive power, personified in the son of a Baoule chief, Felix Houphouët-Boigny. It has
quickly become the musical center of West-Africa, attracting musicians from across the continent. The borders with Liberia, Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Ghana made the country, and especially
Abidjan, the crossroads of millions of culture and Diasporas.
It’s an honor to share with you this amazing music period, when urban music transcended tribe conception, and when panafricanism wasn’t a simple word, but a real philosophy and musical
adventure.
The triple vinyl is presented with posters, dozen of photos, original covers, interviews, etc… The double cd is presented with a full coloured 24 pages booklet, with historical informations
written by Ivorian historian Anicet Boka.

It seems as if currently two producers were marching ahead of the European reggae movement: Daddy Zigo, drummer of French stars Dub Inc. and owner and mastermind behind Greenyard Records, and Moritz “Da Baron” von Korff, bass player of Dub Inc. and the mastermind behind Munich-based Oneness Records. The later had already stirred up the scene with albums like Naptali‘s Long Journey, together with his partner Benjamin Zecher. With both Greenyard and Oneness Records, the concept seems to be to pick an underrated artist from back ah yard and give him a chance to shine in the European market.
This time, Oneness chose Mark Wonder, of whom the Jamaican Observer stated last year: “The irony though, is that while the dreadlocked roots reggae singer is not very well known in his homeland, Jamaica, he has been working wonders with his music on the European market for a number of years.” With his last album, The True Story of Mark Wonder and Friends, the singer from Kingston had received accolades. Did he work wonders again? The album comes with generous 15 tunes that for the most part are based on Oneness riddims, recorded live with musicians from Gentleman and Dub Inc., ranking among the most skilled ones in Europe. Sara Lugo, Sista Lou, Raymond Wright, Jahcoustix, Nicky Burt and others provide excellent backing vocals. Musically, Working Wonders is definitely a gem - even for Oneness‘ high standards.
And lyricswise? Mark Wonder rides the riddims with convincing confidence, singing cultural, lovers and praise tunes. No, he does not reinvent the wheel here, but delivers solid works nevertheless. He teams up with Sizzla, Natural Black and Mikey Melody for featurings. All in all Wonder presents one of the most coherent albums so far this year - nothing really outstanding but an effort that is unique in terms of its overall quality.

A new single from the LA based trip-hop trio UNA, explains why it has taken more than the average amount to release new music. Continuing on the success of their first LP, one, is a reality play
of life versus music. When that got sorted out, the band promptly got back to work and has produced a handful of the most extraordinary tracks in their repetoire to date, one of which is their
newest single, We Are the Lonely.
While retaining their foundation of electronica and hip-hop, they, in the course of their journeys, have discovered a new land of emotional peaks and mesmerizing landscapes. We Are the Lonely
features new instruments, vocal clusters, and bold, breaking beats. One thing they have not lost, the love of melody and lyric, keeping stride with the intent of the song.
Their first LP, one, released 2008, rose to number one in the US as Mediaguide's Top Debut for an Unsigned Band. UNA combines the compelling voice of Jennifer Cook with the inspired keyboards and
guitar of Richard Larsen and the downtempo turntables and samplings of Eddie Barajas.

Addicted by samples and by Eastern sounds, Full Dub develops a deep, personal and often minimal music. He has expanded his expertise in various formations such as Byos, Interface or Noise Motion. This new EP, called Brain Stage, is a deepening of his predecessor. It includes a captivating oriental atmospheres married to deep bass lines. The result is a Dub sound with a “french touch” driven by an uncompromising duo bass / drums thoroughly mixed.
With Brain Stage Full Dub subtly looks like the rebirth of the French electro dub.

Evidemment, elle ne sortait pas de nulles part, Izia, lorsque du haut de ses 18 ans elle publiait un premier album rude et gras. Mais enfin, ce n’est quand même pas le fait d’appartenir à la
grande famille Higelin qui l’a conduit à ouvrir pour Iggy Pop ou Mötorhead. Ce timbre de voix qui a si souvent été comparé à celui de Janis Joplin, cette furie scénique, Izia en a peut être
hérité, mais ne l’a pas volé.
A peine deux ans plus tard, à peine âgée de 21 ans, Izia publie un second album plus en nuance, plus pop, plus mur. Toujours accompagné du guitariste Sébastien Hoog, elle prolonge avec So Much
Trouble son répertoire vers des champs plus complexes.

LINKS REMOVE DMCA REQUESTBy JON GARELICK from http://thephoenix.com Since one of the first times I heard Christian Scott — at Sweet Lorraine's in New Orleans — he's always had an edge. It wasn't just his trumpet, but his band. They weren't playing jazz swing, but tricky groove patterns that built in intensity, driven by the gleaming, fierce sound of Scott's horn. It was well-considered and disciplined music, but not especially concerned with being polite. Now, six years later, Scott (who comes with his band to Scullers on August 10) is still riding that edge. His fourth studio release for Concord Records is a double-CD, an audacious move in its own right. Its title, Christian aTunde Adjuah, is Scott's adopted African name. And the titles of individual songs hint at the range of subject matter that Scott is referencing: from his New Orleans childhood and history with that city's Mardi Gras Indians ("Spy Boy/Flag Boy"), to the city's post-Katrina history ("New New Orleans-King Adjuah Stomp"), to further-flung topics like ethnic cleansing and rape in Sudan ("Fatima Aisha Rokero 400") and domestic violence in the US ("When Marissa Stands Her Ground"). Scott knows there are limits to what he can accomplish with instrumental music that was created with very particular topics in mind. In fact, when I get him on the phone at his home in Harlem, he bristles a bit when I suggest that some of his songs are "political." "I look at it more as a social thing. As I understand it, 'political' is about the dissemination of power among people. With the music that I make, I'm not telling anyone that they're supposed to be going against anything or choose sides. I'm just illuminating things that I've experienced or things I want people to think about." When you hear the album's first track, which begins with a piercing high-trumpet blast over roiling drums and unstable, rock-inflected guitar chords, you know that Scott is off about something, though you might not know what that is if you didn't see the title — maybe you know about the Rokero 400, maybe you have to look it up. Maybe you don't care and just want to listen. That's fine with Scott. "Of course, I want people to know what happened to those women in Rokero. But if someone comes up to me after a gig and says, 'I got the new album, and when I heard the first song it made me think of the things I had to endure to beat cancer,' I'm not gonna tell that person, 'That's not what it's about." Not every song deals with social strife. "Spy Boy/Flag Boy" harks back to the roles he and his twin brother Kiel played in his grandfather Big Chief Donald Harrison Sr.'s Mardi Gras Indian tribe, and the cover shows Scott in full regalia, surrounded by the peach-colored feathers of his Indian "suit." The album mixes hip-hop beats, African rhythms, and rock, informed by drummer Jamire Williams's encyclopedic vocabulary of beats and Matthew Stevens's ability to shift between rock-guitar edge and jazz flow. There are cinematic "interludes" throughout, marked by pianist Lawrence Fields's harmonic drifts. Perhaps the most telling title is "Who They Wish I Was." On it, Scott's muted trumpet converses in short, eloquent musical sentences with the relentless patter and hum of Williams's snare and Fields's piano. That Harmon-muted trumpet, the sound of those lines, are the only musical hints that this piece has to do with some people's "wish" that Scott pattern himself after Miles Davis. Scott's dense liner notes take specific issue with the desire of his elders that he — or jazz — be any one thing. "Scott's still my name," he tells me on the phone. "I'm just adding on to the name so it reflects a more global idea of what my history is." Hey, no argument from me. But I'm enjoying the enlightening and spirited debates Scott is having with his bandmates and the world at large. Tracklist : CD 1 01. Fatima Aisha Rokero 400 02.
