Xango Music 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. 2 - 2018 Dirtmusic: Bu Bir Ruya GBCD 55 / 4030433605523 / label: Glitterbeat Records / format: CD / Various – Popular GBLP 55 / 4030433605516 / label: Glitterbeat Records / format: LP / Various – Popular Bu Bir Ruya is a questing, restless record for the head, but perhaps more so for the body. It broods throughout, as post-punk, Turkish psych, funk, rock and electronics stalk the grooves with widescreen intent. "Love is a Foreign Country", features a startling appearance by Gaye Su Akyol, a treat for those who loved her Hologram İmparatorluğu, one of the most striking Glitterbeat releases of 2016. Fans of Baba Zula, Turkey’s premier psychedelicists, will also have more than enough to chew on, particularly in the remarkable title track that closes the album. Listen here. Atamina: Sycophantic Friends MRCD 21 / 8713406450158 / label: Makkum Records / format: CD / Ghana – Popular MRLP 21 / 8710496976674 / label: Makkum Records / format: LP / Ghana - Popular (23-2-2018) Atamina, or actually we should say Dr. Professor Atamina, is one of the protagonists of the new wave of Kologo Power, a music scene that hails from Ghana's North East Region, that spread all over, and is now conquering the whole world. Atamina is the smart guy, with tongue-in-cheek social-critical lyrics, pulling away the carpet under the feet of West Africa's new developing bourgeoisies. There is a strong link to the Delta blues with its story-telling but Atamina might as well be called the Sleaford Mods of West Africa with his stripped beats and obnoxious rants. The LP will be available on Friday February 23rd. Listen here. It Dockumer Lokaeltsje: Tonger MRCD 22 / 8718906117044 / label: Makkum Records / format: CD / Netherlands – Pop-Rock MRLP 22 / 5010477345950 / label: Makkum Records / format: LP / Netherlands – Pop-Rock The music magazine Vinyl once called It Dockumer Lokaeltsje the “Chroniclers of Weird Frisian Life”. On Tonger, the band chronicle away lustily, while within eighteen new songs new little musical avenues are explored, branching left and right. David Thomas of Pere Ubu used to document his home region around Cleveland, Ohio by taking on the role of various characters in his songs. In the same way, we can lend our ear to the outpourings of a gamut of different characters in the songs of It Dockumer Lokaeltsje. "It had to be different. It had to be short. And it had to be in Frisian." Listen to a track. Ross Daly & Kelly Thoma: Lunar RDKT 6 / 0191924364016 / label: Ross Daly & Kelly Thoma / format: 2CD/ Greece – Traditional Ever since the most ancient times, the moon has always been a source of fascination, but equally of apprehension for all peoples of all civilisations. Perhaps this is because the light of the moon is reflected light, light whose source is elsewhere where we are unable to see. In this sense it resembles music itself which becomes manifest in the world through us, although it does not originate in us. All music pre-exists in a non- manifest realm of possibility and it is only through our perception of these possibilities that it comes to realisation in the world as we know it. Kelly Thoma: 7 Fish RDTK 3 / 0889211270811 / label: Ross Daly & Kelly Thoma / format: CD / Greece – Traditional A female lyra player, composer, musician of Crete and of the world. Kelly Thoma is undoubtedly one of the most exceptional pioneers of contemporary Cretan music. The sounds of her lyra converse with the lyra of Ross Daly, traditional rhythms encounter experimentation and fresh music paths, and this is how, more or less, Kelly became the co-creator of another music genre that exceeds the boundaries of Cretan music and strict music categories. Eight new compositions by Kelly Thoma rising from the depths of the ocean of music, influenced by various modal traditions. Listen here. Marcel Cranc: 7 RUN 2017059 / 8435383639394 / label: Runaway Records / format: CD / Spain – Popular Marcel Cranc is the artistic name of Mallorcan composer Miquel Vicensastre. He has aligned the stars of his career around number 7, and that's how his seventh album, on Runaway Records, will be called. Recorded on Mallorca and in Madrid, the album traces an intense journey of personal exploration through the reality and fiction of hypothetical thoughts, memories, fantasies and yearnings. Listen here. Xango Music Distribution Release #2 – 2018 Pagina | 1 Hector Guerra: Desde El Infierno KM 118 / 8435307604811 / label: Kasba / format: CD / Spain-Mexico – Urban Latin Musically, Héctor Guerra brings hip hop lyrics, dancehall beats, the taste of cumbia, the mysticism of Andean music, the power of electronics... A perfect mixture between urban sounds and traditional Latin music. In this way Guerra unites these two worlds in the songs through a beat cumbia-trap with rhymes in Spanglish, supported by the Caribbean beatmaker KJU or by Professor Angel Sound from Barcelona. Among the outstanding collaborations we find maestro Alberto Pedraza, with whom he performs a new version of his hit "La Cumbia Callejera". Chilean Mariel Mariel Mariel and Latin rap legend Mellow Man Ace also leave their mark. Listen to the teaser. Gasteiz Big Band: Radio Radetzky ORDKLP 11 / 5054282348690 / label: Orrua Diskak / format: LP / Spain-Euskadi – Popular Fearlessness, good humor, breaking borders and openness to the musical world. These are, fundamentally, the foundations on which the music of the Gasteiz Big Band is based on their second album' Radio Radetzky'. They offer a de-complexed tour of a wide and varied musical range, which goes from bolero (' Siboney'), to jazz standards (' Too darn hot', by Cole Porter) to pop (' How deep is your love', popularized by the Bee Gees or' Wonderwall' by Oasis) and classical music, with the theme that gives the album its title. Listen here. Andres de Jerez & Samuelito: Aranando el Alma BUDA 5782644 / 0602557826449 / label: Buda Musique / format: CD / Spain – Flamenco In 2014, Andrés de Jerez and Samuelito meet at the Festival Arte Flamenco de Mont-de-Marsan. From this encounter a common project was born: to make a flamenco puro record, with emotion of Andrés's voice, and the freshness of Samuelito's gitar playing. Andrés de Jerez, a life of cante jondo to the extreme, played with the greatest flamenco artists. Samuelito: passionate about Manuel Agujetas's flamenco since childhood, already dreaming of playing guitar and imagining himself one day accompanying the cante puro. This record is much more than a musical performance, it is an artistic and singular achievement. Listen to a track. Flor de Zinc: Crebe de Set BUDA 5754746 / 0602557547467 / labell Buda Musique / format: CD / France – Folk Since the end of the 18th century, the Auvergne colony has been able to preserve and develop dance practices in the urban environment while adapting to this social and economic context, which is often considered hostile. The practices of Auvergne dances and music will continue to this day in different forms: social or social balls, family celebrations, folk groups,"revivalist" movements... And everything leads us to believe that it is not over. Listen here. Hama Sankare: Ballébé – Calling All Africans CLECD 18 / 0711574821020 / label: Clermont Music / format: CD / Mali – Popular CLELP 18 / 0711574821013 / label: Clermont Music / format: LP / Mali – Popular (9-3-2018) Alpha Ousmane "Hama" Sankaré (aka Pedro) is a legend. He is the master of contemporary calabash percussion. Hama's influence is unchallenged as composer, arranger, and instrumentalist. 'Ballébé - Calling All Africans' is the first album in his own name! A musical adventurer, Hama explores sounds and is constantly expanding his repertoire. His knowledge of tradition reaches deeply into the past as he looks into the future for inspiration. For this album he asked Grammy-winning guitarist Cindy Cashdollar to bring her distinctive slide guitars to some of the tunes. He also asked the young singer Sekou Touré to join him. Oumar Konaté brought his guitar virtuoso skills and Sekou Bah anchors the tracks on bass. Also joining in were Mahalmadane Traoré on drums and Brehima "Yoro" Cissé and Bouba Cissao on traditional stringed instruments. Listen to a track. Sinouj: Labu SIN 2017 / 8435383642516 / label: Sinouj / format: CD / Various – Fusion Sinouj’s sound is marked by its unique combination of Eastern, Mediterranean and African modes and rhythms, with exotic sonorous textures ranging from the Arabic violin, the Persian ney, to the Sakara drum from Nigeria, together with contemporary jazz harmonies and instrumentation. Touches of rock, funk and electronic music are also thrown into the mix. Labu contains 7 original pieces composed by Pablo Hernández Ramos, and it is a continuation of the group’s never-ending search for new paths through the different musical traditions of the Mediterra-nean and Africa, using Jazz and other contemporary urban flavors as the bridge between them. Listen here. Sinouj: La Fiche SIN 2014 / 8435383605849 / label ; Sinouj / format: CD / Various – Fusion La Fiche is a journey through musical landscapes that are both familiar and unusual, inviting us to rejoice in the rich diversity found in the band’s search as we are taken along for the ride.

    The Poetics of Persian Music

    The Poetics of Persian Music: The Intimate Correlation between Prosody and Persian Classical Music by Farzad Amoozegar-Fassie B.A., The University of Toronto, 2008 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Music) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2010 © Farzad Amoozegar-Fassie, 2010 Abstract Throughout most historical narratives and descriptions of Persian arts, poetry has had a profound influence on the development and preservation of Persian classical music, in particularly after the emergence of Islam in Iran. A Persian poetic structure consists of two parts: the form (its fundamental rhythmic structure, or prosody) and the content (the message that a poem conveys to its audience, or theme). As the practice of using rhythmic cycles—once prominent in Iran— deteriorated, prosody took its place as the source of rhythmic organization and inspiration. The recognition and reliance on poetry was especially evident amongst Iranian musicians, who by the time of Islamic rule had been banished from the public sphere due to the sinful socio-religious outlook placed on music. As the musicians’ dependency on prosody steadily grew stronger, poetry became the preserver, and, to a great extent, the foundation of Persian music’s oral tradition. While poetry has always been a significant part of any performance of Iranian classical music, little attention has been paid to the vitality of Persian/Arabic prosody as its main rhythmic basis. Poetic prosody is the rhythmic foundation of the Persian repertoire the radif, and as such it makes possible the development, memorization, expansion, and creation of the complex rhythmic and melodic compositions during the art of improvisation.

Building a Relationship with Percussion Instruments Bill Matney, Kalani Das, & Michael Marcionetti Materials used with permission by Sarsen Publishing and Kalani Das, 2017 Building a relationship with percussion instruments Going somewhere new can be exciting; it might also be a little intimidating or cause some anxiety. If I go to a party where I don’t know anybody except the person who invited me, how do I get to know anyone else? My host will probably be gracious enough to introduce me to others at the party. I will get to know their name, where they are from, and what they commonly do for work and play. In turn, they will get to know the same about me. We may decide to continue our relationship by learning more about each other and doing things together. As music therapy students, we develop relationships with music instruments. We begin by learning instrument names, and by getting to know a little about the instrument. We continue our relationship by learning technique and by playing music with them! Through our experiences and growth, we will be able to help clients develop their own relationships with instruments and music, and therefore be able to 1 strengthen the therapeutic process.

  • Présentation

    Présentation

    « Seeing the European harp and Oriental qanun together is akin to watching two distant cousins realize they have so much to tell each other. By giving life to this unique duet, Maïa Darmé and Mohamed Amine Kalaï brought new colors to music from all around the Mediterranean. Two instruments with entrancing timbres echoing each other, dazzling fingers flying on an ocean of strings… The versatility of these performers and their exotic instruments never ceases to amaze. Harkan is a moment out of time and away from reality. » Harkan “Unique, mesmerizing. This charismatic duet shatters expectations.” World-class musicians performing an eclectic repertoire on a never-seen-before combination of instruments… Harkan is a most outstanding and unusual musical project. Bringing together French and Tunisian virtuosos, the band led by Maia Darme on the harp and Mohamed-Amine Kalaï on the qanun is thoroughly captivating. On stage, they often morph into a trio, with percussionists providing accompaniment on North African traditional drums (bendir, tar, daff…). Harkan’s concerts include the duet’s own creations as well as music from all around the Mediterranean: Turkish, North African, Hispano-Andalusian, Italian, French and Greek. As the rhythm builds up, lively dances follow languorous pieces. Harkan is the fruit of two years of research, rediscovering and arranging traditional repertoires, collaborating with contemporary composers and developing new playing techniques for both instruments to allow them to venture into foreign music cultures. The result is a program accessible to audiences of all ages and backgrounds, appealing to seasoned music lovers and first-time concert goers alike.

    1 Gallery Guide St. Louis, A Musical Gateway: THE FAR EAST Asia, the world’s largest continent on earth, is surrounded by the Pacific, Arctic, and Indian Oceans. Featured in Rooms 1 & 2 of the display are musical instruments from the East Asia geographical region. This region shows the musical intersections influenced by travel and trade among the People’s Republic of China, Taiwan, Mongolia, Japan, Tibet, and South and North Korea. This exhibit is the third in a series that celebrates St. Louis’ multicultural heritage communities. It features rare and beautiful instruments of the Far East and Oceania drawn from the Hartenberger World Music Collection of Historical Instruments Dr. Aurelia & Jeff Hartenberger, Karrie Bopp, Dr. Jaclyn Hartenberger and Kevin Hartenberger. 2 The Far East The musical traditions of the Far East serve to demonstrate important aspects of the social, spiritual, and aesthetic values of their cultures of origin. These traditions have also been shaped over centuries, as people traveled by land and sea along trade routes spanning vast territories. Merchants and travelers exchanged silk and spices as well as languages, ideas, music, and musical instruments. By the eleventh (11th) century musical instruments from the Middle East and Central Asia could be found both in Europe and in parts of East, South, and Southeast Asia. In ancient China, musical instruments were divided into "eight sounds" — based on the materials used in their construction: Metal (jin), stone (shi), silk (si), bamboo (zhu), gourd (pao), clay (tao), leather (ge) and wood (mu). Today, instruments associated with this early classification system are reconstructed for use in ensembles that perform in museums and historical buildings.
