Xango Music Distribution Release #11 – 2020 Pagina | 1 Xango Music celebrating over 20 years distributing local music from all over the world Office: Singelstraat 1, 3513 BL Utrecht, NL www.xmd.nl - [email protected] - +31 6 260 263 60 Warehouse: Berenkoog 53 C, 1822 BN, Alkmaar (NL) e: [email protected] t: +31 (0)72 - 567 3030 NEW RELEASES NO. 11 – 2020 TootArd: Migrant Birds GBCD 95 / € 10,45 / 4030433609521 / label: Glitterbeat Records / format: CD / Syria – Popular GBLP 95 / € 13,45 / 4030433609514 / label: Glitterbeat Records / format: LP / Syria – Popular This inventive duo of brothers from the Golan Heights – Hasan and Rami Nakhleh - return with an infectious re-imagining of their sound. Jammed full of pop hooks and quarter-tone synth lines, "Migrant Birds" unleashes a disco whirlwind that pays homage to the Middle Eastern dancefloor scenes of the 80's. Retro funky meets hi-sheen contemporary. The 80s may be the catalyst, with the glittering, hedonistic party vibe. But the real roots of the music here run deeper, to musicians like keyboardist Magdi al-Husseini and Ihsan Al-Munzer, who were the first to introduce synthesizers to the Arabic classical style, or Omar Khorshid, who pioneered the addition of electric guitar and worked with the legendary Umm Kulthum. Listen to a track. Ba Balance: Around The Crocodile Pond ONEPC 2020 / € 10,95 / 0195081453088 / label: One World Records / format: CD / Denmark-Gambia – Popular Guitar and percussion. That's it. That's what you get. But what a world of music you enter when two old friends – one from Denmark, the other from The Gambia and each a master of their own craft – sit down and decide, finally, to make a record. 'Around The Crocodile Pond' features the two friends grooving and improvising on the ten remarkable songs composed by Preben Carlsen. The music flows with polyrhythmic elegance as the tunes weave organically in raw circular road movie-style Afro Blues. Iconographic reminiscent of wild wide landscapes, from the deep mangrove forests in the Southern states of USA to the flat red mountains on the Mali desert and with a dramatic blue sky above it all. Amadou Diagne & Cory Seznec: Touki – Right Of Passage (LP release July 31st, 2020) CPR 7 / € 9,45 / 0194660796080 / label: Captain Pouch Records / format: CD / Senegal-USA – Popular CPR 8 / € 13,95 / 3760301212850 / label: Captain Pouch Records / format: LP / Senegal-USA – Popular Who would have guessed that a chance encounter between buskers in the streets of Bath, England more than a decade ago would lead to a new musical adventure in 2020? Amadou Diagne from Senegal and French-American Cory Seznec hit it off that Spring day, planting the seeds of a future collaboration. The album Touki - Right of Passage, a play on words that has multiple layers of meaning for Amadou and Cory. It alludes to the arduous journey millions embark on to better their lot in these times of hard borders and tall walls (including Amadou’s own difficult passage in the UK), and how people undergo various rites of passage while doing so. It also reflects the more personal musical journeys that Amadou and Cory have been experiencing both together and individually as outliers in their fields. Listen. La Gallera Social Club: Tropico Salvaje (CD release June 5th, 2020 – LP release June 19th, 2020) DPCD 20 / € 9,95 / 3521383461556 / label: Tortuga / format: CD / Venezuela – Folk-Electro-Tropical DPLP 20 / € 14,45 / 3521381561562 / label: Tortuga / format: LP / Venezuela – Folk-Electro-Tropical The Gallera Social Club is a journey full of Venezuelan Folklore, psychedelia, electro and traditional atmospheres in the regions of South American culture. The "social club": a place for meeting and sharing, friendship and celebration the "Gallera" with their instruments, fulfilling in their own style the objectives of a festive and cultural movement of their native country; Venezuela. A combustible mixture of Latin American popular music, indomitable and exhilarating at the same time, borrowing as much from age-old traditions as from the hovering tracks of the 70s or the unclassifiable digital experiments of today. The Gallera Social Club thus continues to blur the tracks with its folk'electronico, a sort of kaleidoscopic musical fantasy, a nugget full of groove and sweet madness. Allegedly iconoclastic!!!! Listen. Domna Samiou: Songs Of Dame Sea DCD 23 / € 15,95 / 5204910000722 / label: Greek Folk Music Ass. / format: 2CD / Greece – Folk The wealth of Greek traditional music has been enriched by every aspect of maritime tradition – by its values, virtues and charm – as is amply demonstrated by this wonderful collection of songs. They embrace the ways people have sung, since Ulysses, about the temptations of the sea, its risks, its beauty and its tranquility but also about the danger of loss. Greece is surrounded by the sea and for centuries on end the sea has determined its fate: the manner and place of wrestling a livelihood, as a gateway to communication and defensive wall, as the roadway which both unites and separates… The wild, foam-capped sea, the tranquility of a dead calm, the lapping of waves at the water’s edge: these are the image and, once many are gathered together, they turn into a song. Listen to a track. Xango Music Distribution Release #11 – 2020 Pagina | 1 Ivan Francesco Ballerini: Cavallo Pazzo RMR 467 / € 10,95 / 8032584614672 / label: RadiciMusic Records / format: CD / Italy – SingerSongwriter A really interesting debut that of the Tuscan singer-songwriter Ivan Francesco Ballerini. Yet another voice with melodic nuances of great Italian taste that embrace lyrics that once again return to history, and in particular on the ruthless fate of Native Americans, all too forgotten by books and chronicles ... and the excuse is greedy to go to weave plots of love and fantasy, but also and above all passages of sensitive look at everyday life. "Cavallo Pazzo" is a daring record, plain and simple and of that sound that makes itself recognizable not through aesthetics but only by the great personality of those behind the pen and the guitar. Listen to a track. Andrea Andrillo: Elusive RMR 459 / € 10,95 / 8032584614597 / label: RadiciMusic Records / format: CD / Italy – SingerSongwriter This is a collection of love songs, some of which he wrote by himself, some of which he borrowed. He is fascinated by the way a song can be rewritten while still being faithful to itself. That’s why he can hardly find the words to express his gratitude to Giovanni Coda for his great movie, “Mark’s Diary”, without which neither would this soundtrack album exist, nor would he have had the opportunity to investigate, through songs and in sync with the movie, various shades of loving. Far from being an “album of covers”, this record is mainly a “sonic transposition”, so to speak, of what happens on the silver screen as the movie unrolls and its characters communicate using words that are sometimes borrowed from the lyrics of the songs in this album. Teaser. Savelli & Manzi: Gettare Le Basi RMR 652 / €10,95 / 8032584616522 / label: RadiciMusic Records / format: CD / Italy – Fusion This album a full-fledged debut that comes from the musicians passion for the rock of the '60s and '70s that still remains essential today. A return to the roots of rock with a strong propensity to improvisation, to a free flow of music without setting too many limits. In fact, the work is born from a series of improvisations of bass and drums and only later our friends decided to involve instrumentalists to complete the work. The result is a wide-ranging work where rock, prog, jazz, improvisation and psychedelia live together, dragging the listener into a sound experience that, starting from the 60s, reaches the present day through the way of post rock. Listen to a track. David Tavares: Flamenco Utropico YOUKALI 181 / € 9,95 / 7713042436579 / label: Youkali Music / format: CD / Spain – Flamenco Fusion On his fifth album 'Flamenco Utropico' the Brazilian guitarist who has lived in Spain for more than 30 years, David Tavares, one of the greatest exponents of flamenco fusion music on the current scene, surprises us once again with new compositions in a fascinating and intimate melodic, stylistic and personal introspection exercise. David Tavares imprints his unmistakable flamenco, classical and Brazilian sound stamp on a handful of original compositions not only in the sense of melody and harmony, but also in the instrumentation chosen for the performance of the songs. Listen. Alejandro Serrano: Hay Alguien Ahi? YOUKALI 175 / € 9,95 / 7713042413440 / label: Youkali Music / format: CD / Spain – Popular 'Hay Alguien Ahí?' is an alternative pop rock album full of good music and good lyrics. Ten songs that travel to different places and with different characters, with a common thread of urban character: the asphalt, the rush or the neurosis of the big cities; love, nostalgia, insecurity or rage. The careful production of Martín García Duque and Rubén García Motos is worth mentioning. Working hand in hand with Alejandro, they have achieved a unique sound for this album. Listen to a track. Ines Graca: Origem FAC 2868716 / € 10,95 / 7427128687167 / label: Fado ao Centro / format: CD / Portugal – Fado Ines Graca was born in Faro, lived in Fuseta and currently lives in Coimbra. She shared the stage with several great artists, such as: Pedro Joia, Celeste Rodrigues, Rodrigo, among many others. At the end of 2018, after sixteen years in Fado, she finally thought it was time to release her first solo album. 'Origem' is a record where she interprets several traditional and musical fados that are part of her repertoire from the beginning of her career as a fado singer. The album was recorded and mastered by Toni Lourenço at Loudstudio in Coimbra with Ricardo Silva on Portuguese guitar, Hugo Gamboias on Portuguese guitar, Luís Carlos Santos on viola and Filipe Ferreira on bass.

    It is curious to notice that most of Mr. Dellalian’s writings for piano use aleatoric notation, next to extended techniques, to present an idea which is intended to be repeated a number of times before transitioning to the next. The 2005 compilation called “Sounds of Devotion,” where the composer’s family generously present articles, photos and other significant testimony on the composer’s creative life, remembers the two major influences in his music to be modernism and the Armenian Genocide. GUEST ARTIST SERIES ABOUT DZOVIG MARKARIAN Dzovig Markarian is a contemporary classical pianist, whose performances have been described in the press as “brilliant” (M. Swed, LA Times), and “deeply moving, technically accomplished, spiritually uplifting” (B. Adams, Dilijan Blog).

  • Folk Music 1 Folk Music
    Folk music 1 Folk music Folk music Béla Bartók recording Slovak peasant singers in 1908 Traditions List of folk music traditions Musicians List of folk musicians Instruments Folk instruments Folk music is an English term encompassing both traditional folk music and contemporary folk music. The term originated in the 19th century. Traditional folk music has been defined in several ways: as music transmitted by mouth, as music of the lower classes, and as music with unknown composers. It has been contrasted with commercial and classical styles. This music is also referred to as traditional music and, in US, as "roots music". Starting in the mid-20th century a new form of popular folk music evolved from traditional folk music. This process and period is called the (second) folk revival and reached a zenith in the 1960s. The most common name for this new form of music is also "folk music", but is often called "contemporary folk music" or "folk revival music" to make the distinction.[1] This type of folk music also includes fusion genres such as folk rock, electric folk, and others. While contemporary folk music is a genre generally distinct from traditional folk music, it often shares the same English name, performers and venues as traditional folk music; even individual songs may be a blend of the two. Traditional folk music Definitions A consistent definition of traditional folk music is elusive. The terms folk music, folk song, and folk dance are comparatively recent expressions. They are extensions of the term folk lore, which was coined

  • Official Middle Kingdom Songbook" Is a Publication Ol the Middle Kingdom of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc
    Unto the Populace of the Known World come greetings from Siobhan Medhbh O'Roarke, Chronicler of the Middle in the first reign of their Majesties Eliahu and Elen. The book you now hold in your hands is, I must confess, a mystery to me. It was handed to me, wrapped in a plain brown wrapper, by a mysterious figure in purple. Opening said package, I discovered a manuscript, much travel- and tear-stained. The dedicatory page purported to have left the hands of Countess Valmai many years before, but when I contacted that noble lady, she denied any knowledge of it and vehemently refused to accept any e!a!Tle credit for such a manuscript.* Despite the mysterious origins of the book, it seemed to me to be of value. Not many days before, the Neos in my home barony had been complaining that "No-one ever sings the old songs any more. How can we learn them?" Thus, the discovery of the mysterious parcel seemed Provident, if not serendipitious. It was a book Whose Time Had Come. I set about getting it published. Master Reginald of the Horns, seeing my bewilderment, surrounded by pages of music tossed about in a random manner, graciously offered to rewrite the musical scores in a consistent and pleasing manner. I owe a great debt to him for this labor, for I am confident that the Book would not have appeared in print until Pennsic XX or even later had the task of transcribing the music been left to me. Thanks are also due to Mistress Greya Ankayrlyn, who took pity on the poor naked manuscript and created a cover for it.

  • The Sound of Ethnic America: Prewar “Foreign-Language” Recordings & the Sonics of Us Citizenship
    THE SOUND OF ETHNIC AMERICA: PREWAR “FOREIGN-LANGUAGE” RECORDINGS & THE SONICS OF US CITIZENSHIP Mathew R. Swiatlowski A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of American Studies in the College of Arts & Sciences Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Jocelyn R. Neal Sharon P. Holland Timothy Marr Michael Palm Andrea Bohlmam © 2018 Mathew R. Swiatlowski ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Mathew R. Swiatlowski: The Sound of Ethnic America: Prewar “Foreign-Language” Records and the Sonics of US Citizenship (Under the direction of Jocelyn R. Neal) This dissertation explores the juncture of sound and citizenship to consider how the boundaries of nation are maintained at both geospatial and cultural borders. Specifically, the project concerns “foreign-language” recordings made by US recording companies prior to World War II (hereafter, prewar). With the onset of war in Europe in 1914, “foreign-language” recordings were increasingly cut domestically, featuring vernacular performers of the Great Wave of immigration that brought Hungarian, Syrian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Polish, Mexican, Chinese, and Japanese peoples, alongside a host of other nationalities, to the US beginning in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Initially marketed to specific immigrant populations in the US, these recordings eventually became the province of postwar record collectors and the reissue music market by the 1970s. The narrative of the project draws much of its power by connecting their discrete moments of circulation with the political realities that shaped their audition. As such, the project examines the interplay between, what I call, the “national vernacular imaginary” and state policy in regards to immigration and citizenship.

It is paradox of European ethnomusicology that many of the countries and musical traditions which are geographically closest to the western centres of learning have received comparatively little attention from the scholars of those centres. Information in English (particularly) on the folk music traditions of eastern Europe is surprisingly scant. There is, naturally, more material available on the musical traditions of a particular country in its indigenous language, but such work often remains untranslated.
