The four DJs of Novalima are well on the way to the remarkable accomplishment of conquering dance floors all around the planet with their new sounds: their live electro revolutionizes the rules, drawing from Afro-Peruvian traditions, heritage of the African slaves who nurtured the Andean lands as far back as the 16th century. To this centuries-old foundation, these young Peruvians respectively © Yayo Lopez living in London, Lima, Barcelona and HongKong (!) have enhanced their musical project with acoustic rhythms and CD : Coba Coba musical styles which influenced them when growing up: Label : Cumbancha rock, reggae, dub, salsa and obviously electro with which they set the dance floors ablaze. The presence of musicians www.novalima.net on scene adds a fresh vitality and attests to Novalima’s www.myspace.com/novalima audacity in breaking down the boundaries… While dancing, of course. ARONAS (New Zealand/Australia/G.Britain) Jazz-punk from the Southern hemisphere Attention, genius at work! Aron Ottignon, pianist and band leader of Aronas, arrives from his southern hemisphere like a clap of musical thunder. Jazz virtuoso since his pre- adolescent years, he has progressively embraced all musical styles integrating them into his absolutely delirious jazz- groove-punk cocktail. His touches of rock and soul, his Maori and Caribbean rhythms create an unequalled color where the piano reeks of ingenuity and quenches his creative thirst. Designated as the new “jazz magician”, he is © Jacky Lehmann particularly inspired by the rhythmic treasures of percussion sounds from the South Pacific where he grew up. And if his CD : Culture tunnels musical conception between free jazz, pop or electro Label : unsigned astonishes, his on-scene performance also amazes with rock-star postures and a madness which is a real pleasure to www.myspace.com/aronas watch. Forget your ideas about the piano… THURSDAY 26 MARCH (Following) WASIS DIOP (Senegal/France) The royal voice of the insatiable voyager A deep, dark voice and unmistakable timbre, Wasis Diop has enjoyed an artistic career of more than 30 years, always keeping a step ahead with his visionary mixes of world music. Combining subtle guitar wizardry and refined compositions, this curious and tireless voyager continuously cruises the planet from his native Senegal to Jamaica, via Japan, Paris or even London. Deliciously surprising blends of ancient Sahelian prayers with rock, dub CD : Ju du Bék and pop, and lyrics combining poetry, ecological tributes to Label : Think Zik! ‘Mother Nature’ and proclaimed social activism. His music roves the globe, sampled by Dr. Dre or featured in original www.wasisdiop.com motion picture soundtracks (the Thomas Crown affair, the www.myspace.com/ Cinema of Techine etc) offering a contemporary vision of wasisdiopmusic African music, anchored in its ancient treasures and naturally open to the world. SAYON BAMBA* (Guinea/France - PACA) The captivating and enchanting African Amazon The graceful and determined Sayon Bamba Camara wasted no time in marking out her taste for independence and artistic things. At a very young age, she forced her destiny mingling with the cream of Guinean Bohemia in Conakry: writers, musicians, artists, actors and dancers, the warm nights of the Guinean capital leading her to sing in the Amazons of Guinea. Sayon Bamba then made a stopover in Marseilles, her city of adoption where she progressively nourished her creations. Her sharp eye always closely examines Guinean society governed by the rhythm of village celebrations, ever-increasing poverty or even CD : Mod'vakance polygamy. But her distinctive, unique voice also carries the Label : Cobalt hopes of this African woman of the 21st century, free, sensual, fulfilled, hard-working and mother all in one, far sayonbambacamara.com from the taboos and the prohibitions. Like the luminous www.myspace.com/sayon anthem of an artist with a profound love of liberty… bamba THURSDAY 26 MARCH (Following) HOURIA AÏCHI & L’HIJÂZ' CAR (Algeria/France) The glorified tradition of the riders of the Aures In the east of Algeria, in the heart of the Chaouia country, the Aures Mountains have been sheltering Berber traditions for centuries. The songs of Houria Aïchi outline this rich heritage where great pride is given to the stories of these highly skilled riders, guardians of the herds, symbols of the dignity and honor of an entire population: the Riders of the Aures. By weaving invaluable sound archives with the overwhelming voice of Houria Aïchi, the Hijâz' car group celebrates the universality of the rules of © gunther Vicente chivalry, bravery and love for which these centaurs of the CD : Les cavaliers mountains are renowned. A musical framework of string, de l'Aurès wind and percussion instruments drawing from the Label : Accords croisés thousand-year-old Chaouia heritage, leaving its unique subtle mark on a project which spills out the raw emotion www.myspace.com/ of a vocalist in full grace. lescavaliersdelaures KAMEL EL HARRACHI (Algeria/France) The flamboyant heir of the Algerian Chaâbi With profound respect and pride, Kamel El Harrachi carries a delicate artistic heritage on his shoulders. How could it be otherwise for the son of the great Dahmane Amrani, known as El Harrachi, author of “Ya Rayah”, popularized throughout the world by Rachid Taha and leading figure of the chaâbi? Kamel did not wait long indeed © Laurence Berchoteau to follow the footsteps of his venerated father. Mandole in hand since the age of 6, the youth of chaouie origin www.kamel-el-harrachi.com perpetuates the themes of this popular Algerian music www.myspace.com/ dedicated to exile and an unconditional love for Algeria kamelelharachi from the depths of his husky voice. His fidelity (and resemblance) to his father make him the best placed artist to give Chaâbi a second youth. His interpretations of the paternal repertory have already been acclaimed by well- informed audiences, prolonging with talent a brilliant family saga… THURSDAY 26 MARCH (Following) FOUAD DIDI & THE TARAB ORCHESTRA* (France - PACA/Algeria) Arab-Andalusian heritage taken to cloud nine Founded in 1996, the Tarab orchestra of Marseilles directed by Fouad Didi interprets the cornucopia of Andalou and Hawzi repertories. Born in Tlemcem in Algeria, Didi belongs to a traditional musical genre nourished with popular poetry. His verses of great finesse evoke the themes of love, nostalgia, social situations, the passion for his country and exile. The intensity of Fouad Didi’s voice, supported by a rare instrumental mastery, transcends this culture to attain the highest summits of interpretation. The instruments used by his Tarab Orchestra, violin, viola, kouotra, mandoline, derbourka and CD : De l’Andalou au Hawzy târ, are those of the traditional orchestras of medieval Andalusia. The work of an expert, in a permanent quest for authenticity, bringing the sumptuous Arab-Andalusian heritage back to life… GOLDENBERG & SCHMUYLE* (France) Alchemists of stateless beats and ancestral grooves Taken straight out from one of the paintings of a Moussorgski exhibition, Goldenberg & Schmuyle proclaim their forger’s expertise and profile of falsifying explorers. Their creed: “our forgeries ring more true than the originals!” Both DJs have a field day as they triturate, detour, cloud the tracks and reinvent a musical idiom with an infinite glossary: from afrobeat-dub-jazz to samba, from klezmer souk to Mediterranean zouk, from the banks of the Gange to the depths of the Guadalquivir, from the Carpates to the Atlas, from Congo to Chicago, the two accomplices elaborate an Esperanto which makes bodies move. Their long experience and inexhaustible knowledge of world music makes them the ideal alchemists, ready to serve as unabashed intermediaries between the most unlikely sounds. Infectious. THURSDAY 26 MARCH (Following) GRAIL' OLI (France) A brasilo-occitan armada with carnavalesque frenzy Grail' oli pursues the Carnival spirit across the five continents. With the shrill tones of their Catalan ‘graille’ oboes, this troupe of Southerners trails from the West Indies, through Provence, to Dunkirk or Brazil the festive and anti-establishment airs of this popular event. Strongly influenced by Brazilian percussions, Grail' oli introduces rhythms of samba carioca, funk, nordestino coco, bahiano samba-reggae or maracatu recifense where hullabaloos CD : Caramentranse descend the streets to march with exuberant force. Their Label : Lo Bruch infectious

    Kuduro Meets Tecno-Brega | norient.com 5 Oct 2021 08:15:15 Kuduro Meets Tecno-Brega by Frederick Moehn The «Lusotronic» festival in May 2013 brought Portuguese electronic music to Berlin's multicultural neighborhood Kreuzberg. The summit meeting was accompanied by films and lectures. For Norient it's an occasion for a deep ethnomusicological insight in the lusotronic postcolonial cultural spaces. Kreuzberg It was my first time visiting the Kreuzberg neighborhood of Berlin since I spent about half a year there shortly after the Wall was torn down and reunification began. «You won’t believe how much it’s changed,» a friend who has lived in this part of Berlin all of her working life said to me on the phone before I flew in from London. In fact, the neighborhood did not seem https://norient.com/stories/kuduro-meets-tecno-brega Page 1 of 14 Kuduro Meets Tecno-Brega | norient.com 5 Oct 2021 08:15:15 so markedly different to me. Sure, longtime residents lament the rise in real estate prices in recent years as gentrification creeps across the city; packs of foreign students and tourists crowd the neighborhood’s streets and cafes; and there are many more bars than before. But Kreuzberg still has a strong Turkish presence, and it remains a center for leftist political protest. Graffiti covers nearly every wall space, and even a couple of the caravan camps that were there when West Berlin was an island in the Eastern Bloc remain in place (squatting in empty apartment buildings, however, is no longer legal).

    LATIN POP ZOUK KIZOMBA AFROLATIN SUZANNA LUBRANO Most popular female Zouk artist from Cabo Verde Number one hits 20 years in Africa and of Music Europe 11 CD´s A major + 1 DVD influence on many of today´s Gold and Kizomba artists Platinum albums in Africa Major African Music Awards SUZANNA LUBRANO 2015/2016 Introduction Suzanna Lubrano is one of the most popular female artists in Lusophone Africa. In a career spanning almost 20 years, she has scored massive hits in countries such as Angola, Mozambique and Cape Verde, and has also managed to achieve frequent successes elsewhere. She has received numerous music awards and nominations. In 2015, Suzanna Lubrano has released her latest solo-album ´Vitoria´. Most of the songs on the album are self-composed. The album contains duets with Machel Montano (Trinidad), Iyanya (Nigeria) and Vinicius D´black (Brazil), several productions by Giorgio Tuinfort (producer of songs by Michael Jackson, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and many more), and is more diverse than previous albums. Although a Cape Verdean singer, Suzanna’s music can’t be described as specifically Cape Verdean. With her exciting mix of Zouk or Kizomba, Pop Coladeira, R&B and other African and Latino music styles, the 39 year old gifted vocalist has retained her star status in the Portuguese speaking African countries throughout her career, which started in 1996 with the release of her debut album ´Sem Bo Nes Mund´.

  • Créolité and Réunionese Maloya: from ‘In-Between’ to ‘Moorings’
    Créolité and Réunionese Maloya: From ‘In-between’ to ‘Moorings’ Stephen Muecke, University of New South Wales An old Malbar is wandering in the countryside at night, and, seeing a light, approaches a cabin.1 It is open, so he goes in. He is invited to have a meal. No questions are asked; but he sings a ‘busted maloya’ [maloya kabosé] that speaks of his desire to open his wings and fly away, to accept the invitation to sleep in the cabin, to fall into the arms of the person narrating the ballad, and to weep. The whole company sings the ‘busted maloya.’2 Malbar is the name for Tamils descended from indentured labourers from parts of South India including the Malabar Coast and Pondicherry, where the French had another colony. Estimated to number 180,000, these diasporic Tamils had lost their language and taken up the local lingua franca, Creole, spoken among the Madagascans, French, Chinese and Africans making up the population of Réunion in the Indian Ocean. Creole, as a language and set of cultural forms, is not typical of many locations in the Indian Ocean. While the central islands of Mauritius, the Seychelles, Rodriguez, Agalega, Chagos and Réunion have their distinct varieties of French Creole language, Creole is not a concept that has currency in East Africa, Madagascar or South Asia. Versions of creolized English exist in Northern and Western Australia; at Roper River in the 1 Thanks to Elisabeth de Cambiaire and the anonymous reviewers of this paper for useful additions and comments, and to Françoise Vergès and Carpanin Marimoutou for making available the UNESCO Dossier de Candidature.

Neste artigo analisamos a presença do estilo no Brasil, a partir dos jornais impressos, e analisamos o caso específico da sua produção, circulação e consumo através de pesquisa de campo que realizamos na cidade de Salvador - Brasil. A partir daí buscamos compreender o contexto festivo em que o estilo está inserido e refletir sobre os significados particulares e gerais de sua expressão em um circuito de consumo peculiar com a presença de jovens imigrantes africanos em contraponto com os sentidos mais amplamente difundidos. Esta pesquisa foi realizada no ano de 2014 e 2015 e é parte de um projeto mais amplo de investigações desenvolvido pelos autores sobre juventudes, processos de identificação e suas diferentes formas de expressão através de estilos de vida associado à música eletrônica.

Music plays as Jesse speaks, then fades out. 00:00:20 Jesse Host It’s Bullseye. I’m Jesse Thorn. It’s not that Shabaka Hutchings is Thorn eclectic. I mean, yes. The saxophonist and composer blends jazz, calypso, dance hall, hip-hop, African folk music, afrobeat. But that alone isn’t what makes him so great. Shabaka was born in the UK, raised mostly in Barbados. He studied classical music in college— not jazz. And that’s interesting but again, it’s not the reason you should listen to his music. You should listen to the music of Shabaka Hutchings because he makes brilliant, beautiful songs.

  • Alternate African Reality. Electronic, Electroacoustic and Experimental Music from Africa and the Diaspora
    Alternate African Reality, cover for the digital release by Cedrik Fermont, 2020. Alternate African Reality. Electronic, electroacoustic and experimental music from Africa and the diaspora. Introduction and critique. "Always use the word ‘Africa’ or ‘Darkness’ or ‘Safari’ in your title. Subtitles may include the words ‘Zanzibar’, ‘Masai’, ‘Zulu’, ‘Zambezi’, ‘Congo’, ‘Nile’, ‘Big’, ‘Sky’, ‘Shadow’, ‘Drum’, ‘Sun’ or ‘Bygone’. Also useful are words such as ‘Guerrillas’, ‘Timeless’, ‘Primordial’ and ‘Tribal’. Note that ‘People’ means Africans who are not black, while ‘The People’ means black Africans. Never have a picture of a well-adjusted African on the cover of your book, or in it, unless that African has won the Nobel Prize. An AK-47, prominent ribs, naked breasts: use these. If you must include an African, make sure you get one in Masai or Zulu or Dogon dress." – Binyavanga Wainaina (1971-2019). © Binyavanga Wainaina, 2005. Originally published in Granta 92, 2005. Photo taken in the streets of Maputo, Mozambique by Cedrik Fermont, 2018. "Africa – the dark continent of the tyrants, the beautiful girls, the bizarre rituals, the tropical fruits, the pygmies, the guns, the mercenaries, the tribal wars, the unusual diseases, the abject poverty, the sumptuous riches, the widespread executions, the praetorian colonialists, the exotic wildlife - and the music." (extract from the booklet of Extreme Music from Africa (Susan Lawly, 1997). Whether intended as prank, provocation or patronisation or, who knows, all of these at once, producer William Bennett's fake African compilation Extreme Music from Africa perfectly fits the African clichés that Binyavanga Wainaina described in his essay How To Write About Africa : the concept, the cover, the lame references, the stereotypical drawing made by Trevor Brown..
