Fewer people are familiar with Yoruba… Thanks to Ibeyi’s first eponymous album released at the beginning of 2015, most people have been able to discover or rediscover this African language imported into Cuba in the 17th Century by slaves coming from the country that is now Nigeria. Ibeyi is the name of this duo led by two French Cuban twins of Venezuelan descent who shape a beautiful soul music, both driven and spiritual. Therefore they sing in Yoruba, but also in English and in Spanish. After offering large sections of melancholy that they sometimes transform into percussive hymns, Naomi and Lisa-Kaindé Diaz continue with Ash to mix music from their Afro- Cuban heritage (their father was none other than Anga Diaz, the drummer from the band Irakere) and from their own time, from electro to rap to pop. It’s a blending that they also apply to instruments, whether acoustic, electric or even electronic. Ibeyi even has some fun with Auto-Tune here! Finally, it’s worth noting that this second album is also a confluence of people with good taste, as we cross paths with the atypical Canadian pianist Chilly Gonzales, the furious Californian saxophonist Kamasi Washington, the bass player Meshell Ndegeocello and the Spanish rapper Mala Rodriguez. © MD/Qobuz. Ibeyi release new song ‘Recurring Dream’ from film How To Stop A Recurring Dream. Afro-French Cuban musical duo Ibeyi have released a new song titled ‘ Recurring Dream‘ which the duo wrote and composed for writer-director Ed Morris’ feature film debut How To Stop A Recurring Dream. Starring Ruby Barker (Marina Thompson in Bridgerton ), the film, which will be released across global digital streaming platforms today, won Best Feature and Best Actress awards at December’s British Urban Film Festiva l. Watch the film’s trailer here and the film here. Ibeyi first started working with Ed Morris in 2014, who directed the twins first music video for their critically-acclaimed single ‘River.’ Thereinafter the trio worked on two more videos together: ‘Ghosts,’ a track off their self-titled album and ‘Deathless,’ the lead single from their stunning sophomore album Ash . Morris’ debut film will feature Ibeyi’s original piece of music, alongside, previously released music from the duo’s catalogue. Ibeyi are Naomi and Lisa-Kaindé Díaz. The twin sisters are currently at work on their third studio album. They released their critically-acclaimed sophomore album Ash in 2017 which featured appearances from Michelle Obama, Kamasi Washington and Meshell Ndegeocello . The duos’ globally acclaimed, eponymous debut album (2015) earned the twins fans and collaborators in some of the most iconic artists of today include Beyoncé , Alvin Ailey, JR , and Chanel , a result of Ibeyi’s uniquely, captivating blend of Yourban music with modern jazz, soul, and hip-hop.

Emicida and Ibeyi launch a new acoustic version of ‘Hacía El Amor’ On October 3rd, Brazilian rapper Emicida and Franco-Cuban duo Ibeyi will meet at Rock in Rio Festival for an exclusive performance together on Sunset stage. Before the show, the artists came to Red Bull Music Studios, in São Paulo, for a rehearsal and took the opportunity to record an acoustic version of “Hacía El Amor”, with a new arrangement with horns and double bass of that single released in 2018. The music video of the new version and the making of the production can exclusively be seen on www.redbull.com.br. Ibeyi premiere music video for ‘Transmission/Michaelion feat. Meshell Ngegeocello’ Ibeyi are back with a beautiful music video for their song ‘ Transmission/Michaelion’ that has today premiered in Lenny Letter . The song is the masterful centerpiece of the twins critically-acclaimed sophomore album Ash (out now on XL Recordings) and features Meshell Ndegeocello on bass, a sample from the audiobook ‘ Citizen: An American Lyric ’ by Claudia Rankine plus an excerpt from The Diary of Frida Kahlo read by the twins mother Maya Dagnino . On the song, Lisa-Kaindé explains, “ This song is the heat of our album. Transmitting is one of the reasons why we write songs .” In honor of that sentiment, the music video for the song which was directed by Jamie-James Medina and Fons Schiedon , carries the viewer through the fabled story of the Tree of Ténéré. EMICIDA AND IBEYI COLLABORATE FOR NEW TRACK “HACIA EL AMOR” Check out the track on YouTube here: Or other services here: https://ONErpm.lnk.to/EmicidaIbeyi. There are those who say that we live in times of discord, lack of unity and strife, but there are also those who see it as a time in which we have never been so connected. And it’s the latter mindset that allowed Ibeyi and Emicida’s paths to cross. While touring their sophomore album Ash in Brazil in January 2018, Ibeyi joined Brazilian rapper Emicida to record at the Lab Fantasma studios and the result is a beautiful collaborative track being released today titled “ Hacia El Amor. ” To accompany the track is a captivating music video, for which the two artists this time gathered in Paris, France (Ibeyi’s home) to record. The video, directed by Christian Beuchet, illustrates the plural lyrics that promote the breaking of barriers, bringing the artists into a shed covered with graffiti and filled with people, dancing and celebrating the ancestral feeling that unites us all: love. Ibeyi share remix of single ‘Me Voy’ featuring Mala Rodriguez. Today Ibeyi have shared another remix for their Spanish sung single ‘ Me Voy feat. Mala Rodriguez ‘ this one remixed by PNL-affiliated producer King Doudou . The remix has dropped as the twins arrive to South America for a short run of dates in support of their critically-acclaimed sophomore album Ash , out now on XL Recordings. Listen to “Me Voy (King Doudou remix)” H ERE. Additionally it’s been announced that Ibeyi will perform on Live From Here with Chris Thile on February 24th at The Fitzgerald Theatre in St. Paul, Minnesota.

    Cameron Graves – A.K.A

    Cameron Graves – A.K.A. The Planetary Prince – Brings Thrash-Jazz to the Universe with Seven Album Features Special Guest Kamasi Washington Alongside Guitarist Colin Cook, Bassist Max Gerl, and Drummer Mike Mitchell Pianist, composer and vocalist Cameron Graves calls the music he’s architected for his new Artistry Music/Mack Avenue Music Group release thrash-jazz, though that only begins to tell the story. Yes, upon an initial listen, the juggernaut metal force and hardcore precision of Seven can knock you back. After all, Graves grew up in metal-rich Los Angeles, headbanging to Living Colour as a kid and, after immersing himself in jazz and classical studies for years, reigniting his love for hard rock through records by Pantera, Slipknot and his most profound metal influence, Swedish titans Meshuggah. But listen closer to Seven, Graves’ follow-up to 2017’s Planetary Prince (which Pitchfork called a “rousing debut”). “Los Angeles is a melting pot of everything,” Graves points out. His father, Carl Graves, was a great soul singer, and you can hear his imprint along with the likes of Marvin Gaye and Otis Redding, on “Eternal Paradise,” which marks the younger Graves’ vocal debut. Throughout the album, the generation of 1970s jazz-rock fusion pioneers is a source of inspiration. “Our mission is to continue that legacy of advanced music that was started by bands like Mahavishnu Orchestra, Weather Report and Return to Forever,” Graves says. “That was instilled in us by the masters. Stanley Clarke, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock—these guys sat with us and told us, ‘Look, man, you’ve got to carry this on.’” The “us” that Graves refers to would include the core quartet on Seven, as well as the West Coast Get Down, the now well-known expansive yet fraternal clique of high school friends who became some of the most influential jazz-rooted musicians to emerge in recent decades: saxophonist Kamasi Washington, who guests on two of Graves’ 11 new tracks; bassists Thundercat and Miles Mosley; drummers Ronald Bruner Jr.

B. Brodey and Todd Ramón Ochoa) This dissertation is a critical analysis and annotated translation, from Spanish into English, of the book Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe, by the Cuban anthropologist, artist, and writer Lydia Cabrera (1899-1991). Cabrera’s text is a hybrid ethnographic book of religion, slave narratives (oral history), and folklore (songs, poetry) that she devoted to a group of Afro-Cubans known as “los Congos de Cuba,” descendants of the Africans who were brought to the Caribbean island of Cuba during the trans-Atlantic Ocean African slave trade from the former Kongo Kingdom, which occupied the present-day southwestern part of Congo-Kinshasa, Congo-Brazzaville, Cabinda, and northern Angola. The Kongo Kingdom had formal contact with Christianity through the Kingdom of Portugal as early as the 1490s.

    Music Production and Cultural Entrepreneurship in Today’S Havana: Elephants in the Room

    MUSIC PRODUCTION AND CULTURAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN TODAY’S HAVANA: ELEPHANTS IN THE ROOM by Freddy Monasterio Barsó A thesis submitted to the Department of Cultural Studies In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (September, 2018) Copyright ©Freddy Monasterio Barsó, 2018 Abstract Cultural production and entrepreneurship are two major components of today’s global economic system as well as important drivers of social development. Recently, Cuba has introduced substantial reforms to its socialist economic model of central planning in order to face a three-decade crisis triggered by the demise of the USSR. The transition to a new model, known as the “update,” has two main objectives: to make the state sector more efficient by granting more autonomy to its organizations; and to develop alternative economic actors (small private businesses, cooperatives) and self-employment. Cultural production and entrepreneurship have been largely absent from the debates and decentralization policies driving the “update” agenda. This is mainly due to culture’s strategic role in the ideological narrative of the ruling political leadership, aided by a dysfunctional, conservative cultural bureaucracy. The goal of this study is to highlight the potential of cultural production and entrepreneurship for socioeconomic development in the context of neoliberal globalization. While Cuba is attempting to advance an alternative socialist project, its high economic dependency makes the island vulnerable to the forces of global neoliberalism. This study focuses on Havana’s music sector, particularly on the initiatives, musicians and music professionals operating in the informal economy that has emerged as a consequence of major contradictions and legal gaps stemming from an outdated cultural policy and ambiguous regulation.

[Music fades out.] 00:00:12 Music Transition “Huddle Formation” from the album Thunder, Lightning, Strike by The Go! Team. 00:00:19 Jesse Host It’s Bullseye. I’m Jesse Thorn. Terrace Martin—a musician and Thorn producer—was born in Los Angeles’s Crenshaw District. He first started in music as a saxophonist who played in jazz bands, went to an arts high school, and even went to band camp. He wasn’t much older than 18 when he figured out that life wasn’t for him. At the same, the kids growing up around him were freestyling and making mixtapes and beats. And who wouldn’t be excited about that? With those two parallel backgrounds, Terrace kicked off a career that would make him a trailblazing polymath in popular music. As a producer, he’s worked with Snoop Dogg, Charlie Wilson, YG, Kendrick Lamar. As a solo artist, he’s released about half a dozen albums. Terrace channels classic artists like Sly Stone, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and Herbie Hancock, while also landing some pretty great features—heavy hitters like Kamasi Washington, Thundercat, Wiz Khalifa, and the aforementioned K Dot. Terrace isn’t the kind of guy to be slowed down by anything, including a pandemic.

Abstract According to black feminist scholars, the specificity of the realities of the black female group has been neglected and should gain more recognition, considering that their suffering inhabits both the suffering as a woman as well as that of being a black woman. Frantz Fanon argued in Black Skin, White Masks that the under-recognition of the black population has as a result that it hopes to find recognition ‘through the white world’, and that the black population should start to redefine themselves on their own terms.
  • Cameron Graves

    Cameron Graves

    CAMERON GRAVES The release of Kamasi Washington's The Epic last year marked a seismic shift in the jazz landscape and the game-changing arrival of the genre-blurring Los Angeles collective West Coast Get Down. That evolution continues with the release of Planetary Prince, the debut album by visionary pianist, keyboardist, composer and WCGD founding member Cameron Graves. Upon signing with Mack Avenue Records, Graves’ nearly released four song EP of the same name was expanded to an eight track full length album, all packed with the same mind-expanding invention that marked all of the work previously generated by the WCGD – including Kamasi Washington’s universally acclaimed debut The Epic (which prominently featured Graves throughout its three discs). These releases have marked a seismic shift in the jazz landscape and the game-changing arrival of the genre-blurring Los Angeles collective West Coast Get Down blending elements of Jazz, Classical, Rock and Hip-Hop. Planetary Prince continues that evolution, with the scope and ambition of Graves’ vision only more evident on this release. “Cameron Graves’ music is vigorous and refreshing. There is an infectious raw energy on Planetary Prince that is coupled with these terrific melodies and blistering solo work, the whole album is energizing,” reflects Mack Avenue Records’ President Denny Stilwell, speaking on the new signing. In its full realization, the album only furthers that pulse-quickening, consciousness-broadening energy and maintains it over the course of nearly 80 illuminating minutes. The core of the band is made up of fellow West Coast Get Down members, whose musical and personal relationships with Graves stretch back to their high school days: tenor saxophonist Kamasi Washington, trombonist Ryan Porter, bassist Stephen “Thundercat” Bruner, and drummer Ronald Bruner Jr.
