Janka Nabay-Bubu King [True Panther 2010]

@b1q5062u:
Many of us know Sierra Leone for one thing: diamonds. Specifically, "blood" or "conflict" diamonds, gems mined by some of the world's poorest people and subsequently used to fund warfare that further endangers those impoverished individuals. Thanks to a song by Kanye West and a film starring Leo DiCaprio, Western audiences have recently been widely exposed to horrors taking place in Sierra Leone since the early 1990s. But voices originating from the country itself, addressing its struggles and disseminating its unique national character, have been in short supply in the West.
Musically, Sierra Leone likewise hasn't established a global presence on par with West African neighbors like Nigeria and Mali. Enter Janka Nabay, a Sierra Leone native who escaped the country during the bloody 90s and is now bringing its music to new ears as a transplanted resident of Philadelphia. Specifically, the sound Nabay makes is known as bubu music, a genre rooted in the rhythms of funeral processions conducted by the Muslim Temne people of the country's northwest region. Bubu is traditionally produced by large groups of players blowing on bamboo shoots, accompanied by shakers, triangles, and thudding pulse-beats pounded out on large wooden boxes. Nabay severely strips down this setup while preserving its teeming twitchiness, using keyboards and carburetor pipes to create a minimal but undeniably kinetic brand of music that he weds to socially conscious lyrics.
Bubu King is an EP of four songs Nabay recorded before departing Sierra Leone and represents the first-ever commercial release of bubu music in the West. Considering these tracks have been sitting in the can for about 15 years, the frequent modernity of their sound is remarkable, starting with the opener, "Top Sul Bah", which pairs rattling percussion with dreamy synthesized tones. Of course, Nabay makes such minimalism all his own with the chanting intonations he lays atop the beat– the song's title translates as "What's Going On", and that's exactly what Nabay wishes to convey. The succeeding track, "Eh Congo", ratchets up the politicized content with references to John Kennedy and allusions to the humanitarian influx of wheat and clothing, though the music's repetitive pipe pattern ultimately drags over the song's five minutes.
More sonically successful and even more socially charged, "Good Governance" boasts a busily skittering beat intermittently supplemented with a wonderful descending keyboard melody, with lyrics (in English) that call earnestly but admirably for democracy bolstered by the participation of women. Bubu King then closes with the lovely but anomalous "De Debul", a beautiful guitar-laden track that seems much more in line with the melodic West African stuff we in the West have been devouring with particular gusto in recent years. It's a nice tune, but a touch less distinctive. Here's hoping this EP inspires Nabay to share more of Sierra Leone's uniquely engaging bubu music down the road.

Este lunes pudimos escuchar en BJM una perlita de high life from Ghana in the fifties. Toques jazz, melodías fáciles, vientos, agradables voces. Lo mejor para pasar un buen rato en este miércoles tan feo, al fin y al cabo hay sol.

Bettye LaVette ha sacado nuevo disco, buenas noticias
Bettye LaVette "Interpretations: The British Rock Songbook" (Anti, 2010)

@26byp3fu:
¡Qué ganazas le tenía a este nuevo CD de Bettye LaVette que saldrá esta primavera! Todavía tengo muy presente su anterior "Scene of the crime" que me dejó patitieso durante una buena temporada y que sigue maravillándome cada vez que lo pongo en el reproductor. Un trabajo de lo mejorcito publicado la pasada década y que verá continuación con este "Interpretations: the brittish rock songbook" que el sello Anti pondrá en circulación el 25 de mayo. Esta vez la versiones son de infarto y Bettye promete dejarnos con la boca abierto con clásicos de bandas británicas como The Beatles, The Who, Pink Floyd o Rolling Stones, todo bajo su sello y su voz tan personal. Las interpretaciones prometen ser de traca.
Os dejó con el track-listing de este nuevo lanzamiento y toda la información sobre este nuevo trabajo con el enlace del sello Anti:

Alma Afrobeat Ensemble - Stolen Sessions

@37sm5k2e:
Alma Afrobeat Ensemble provides a jazzy and energetic hip-hop inflected version of Afrobeat music, a polyrhythmic blend of funk and protest, dance and social commentary. The Alma Afrobeat Ensemble started in New Orleans then moved toChampaign-Urbana, Illinois, and later transeferred to Chicago. The band began as a celebration of the music of Fela Kuti, encompassing world class musicians from the music school at UIUC. Due to the success, band leader Aaron Feder started composing tunes and brought the band to the next level. The band quickly became a favorite around central Illinois, playing frequent gigs at the Cowboy Monkey, often times with lines around the corner. The band received major radioplay from WEFT radio in Champaign, in addition to in studio recordings and interviews. Gigs at the JayTV/Jam Productions owned Canopy Club followed, highlighted by an Afrobeat celebration with Chicago Afrobeat Project. Shortly afterwards the band played the Summer Camp festival in Chillicothe, IL, and continued playing gigs in Chicago, including the Kinetic Playground and regular appearances at Morseland. In August 2006, Aaron Feder moved to Barcelona to study with John Kwame Adzraku, a Ghanaian high-life/afrobeat musician who has spent time at the Shrine in Nigeria, and even shared the stage with Fela Kuti on multiple occasions. Upon Aaron’s move, the band has settled into a schedule of shows twice a year, summer and winter, in Chicago and Champaign-Urbana. Since Aaron’s move, highlights include playing Millennium Park as part of the 2007 Illinois Great Performers’ Festival, as well as the Chicago Cultural Center in 2008.
AAbE fully recognizes and accepts the social role that Afrobeat and World music entail, and have played multiple benefit shows, including Shelter From the Storm benefit to ReNew Orleans, the band Goat-a-Palooza, benefit to help rural African families, as well as the Zimbabwe Rural School Fund, and shows supporting the Independent Media Center in Urbana, and the Leftist Lounge in Chicago.
Aaron Feder- “Tenor” guitar/band leader/composer. A lifelong musician, Aaron began serious study with Don Tisch, M.A. and protégé of the legendary Fareed Haque, and is band leader for the Kwame Afrovibes in Barcelona, where he studies with John Kwame Adzraku from Ghana, and Joseph Fermin from Ecuatorial Guinea

El otro día Diego Manrique tuvo a bien emitir el concierto que dio James Brown en Kinshasa en el 74, cuando lo del combate Ali vs. Foreman.
Es una auténtica animalada, en serio. El bajo en Soul Power suena como un tráiler de 300 toneladas a 200 km/h por la autopista.
Como decía aquél: This is hardcore.

Pintan bien los recopilatorios estos.
Por cierto y volviendo al tema, hay un grupo de jovenes brasileños que viven en NY y que hacen forró mezclado con cosas un poco más blancas y que están apadrinados por Byrne y otras lumbreras.
Se llaman FORRÓ IN THE DARK y tienen tres de discos
Bonfires of São João (2006)
Light a Candle (2009)y un ep
Dia de Roda (2008)
yo solo he podido oír el segundo y está realmente bonito y bailongo….por ahí rulan también you yubes con una colaboración de Byrne en un bolo. Hasta resultan primaverables....Creo que este verano están de bolos en Europa (Spain not, of course) e incluso van a un festival en Portugal que no está nada mal.

No lo tengo, pero el otro día pusimos en BJM algunos de los artistas que salen aquí y la cosa mola bastante. Voy a echarle un ojo al segundo, que la cosa Sudafricana continúa en BJM este junio.

El viernes por la noche estábamos en el Bar Sifó y, al prestar atención a la música de qualité que sonaba, pensamos que tal vez fuese el señor Mayfield el responsable de la selección. Fuimos a informarnos y no, no era él, aunque había pasado por allí. Otra vez será.
