DABY TOURÉ International Pop DABY TOURÉ International Pop Si il existe certaines choses qu'on ne devrait pas partager, en 2015 il en est d'autres qui méritent qu'on leur donne de l'énergie pour les porter. Non seulement Daby Touré illumine les coeurs de sa musique, de surcroît, il affiche toujours sur scène un sourire d'enfant qui suffit à lui seul, à éclairer la plus obscure des salles de concert. Une Tour de Babel D’une culture construite au gré des cinq continents, Daby a su tirer le sel d’une musique généreuse et ouverte aux quatre vents. Polyglotte, il réalise une alchimie élégante en mariant tour à tour les sons des cinq langues qu’il parle. Sa musique est un puzzle, dont les pièces, une fois emboitées, restituent la carte de l’universalité. Il jette des ponts entre les cultures, qui lui permettent de franchir les frontières, en donnant une vie à un langage poétique et à un son universel. Daby Touré a su creuser son propre sillon avec des compositions abouties, mais il se distingue par dessus tout par des mélodies pop d’un nouveau genre. Ses talents de mélodiste font merveille et l’apparente simplicité des arrangements souligne son chant tout en finesse. Le secret du succès de l’Artiste, c’est son incroyable capacité à s’adapter à différents styles, à être à l’aise en studio comme sur scène, c’est surtout son énorme feeling qui lui permet d’apporter une touche personnelle au rythme le plus banal. Avec la musique de Daby, penser et danser ne sont désormais plus incompatibles. Une musique qui mérite de rencontrer le grand public de la variété internationale. Sa musique est une passerelle entre les peuples, on l’écoute comme on découvre un paysage dessiné à main levée. Plus qu’une vocation, la musique est une nécessité pour Daby Tout jeune en Mauritanie, il s’abreuve des airs de Police, Stevie Wonder ou Michael Jackson entendus à la radio, et apprend seul, en cachette, les rudiments de la guitare. Il sait intimement qu’il deviendra musicien. Quelques années plus tard à Paris, Daby sera très vite fasciné par la vitalité de la scène musicale de sa ville, il prendra alors peu à peu distance avec ses études de commerce… Il commence à jouer dans les bars et fonde le duo Touré Touré avec son cousin Omar. De cette collaboration naît un 1er album « Laddé ». Le groupe explore les frontières du jazz et rencontre un certain succès. Une tournée s’ensuit qui les emmènera jusqu’au Brésil. A cette époque, le jeune homme s’amourache du jazz rock en se liant d’amitié avec le groupe Sixun, et se focalise sur la virtuosité instrumentale. Fausse piste mais le temps n’aura pas été perdu. Rompu à la technique, il peut redécouvrir les vertus de la simplicité. Daby Touré un touche à tout brillant PETER GABRIEL et REAL WORLD RECORD 1 Rencontre + 3 Albums + 1 Tournée Mondiale 2004 « DIAM » / Daby Touré (Enregistré REAL WORLD STUDIOS@Bath, UK) Chez Daby, on trouve en effet un principe créateur d’un genre un peu spécial, entre la polyvalence de Shiva et le multi-usage du couteau suisse qui le pousse à vouloir tout prendre en charge. Véritable Songwritter inspiré, multi- instrumentiste, arrangeur méticuleux et interprète raffiné. Il poursuivra son travail seul. Sa rencontre avec le producteur électro Cyrille Dufay sera déterminante et débouchera sur la réalisation de l’album « Diam ». Il envoie alors une démo à Real World Records en Angleterre. Quelques semaines plus tard, Daby Touré sera accueilli chez Real World, le mythique label britannique de Peter Gabriel. Le vétéran du Rock ne s’est pas trompé en l’adoubant, lui reconnaissant le droit d’être son égal, il le propulse immédiatement en première partie de sa tournée mondiale « Growing Up Tour ».

Tous deux s’attèlent à l’enregistrement de l’album « Call My Name », encensé par quelques oreilles fines comme celle du quotidien anglais The Guardian qui lui attribue cinq étoiles. 2009 Rencontre avec le chanteur Francis Cabrel A l’invitation de Francis Cabrel, Daby se rend aux Rencontres d’Astaffort, où il se confronte à la chanson française.

  • Lead a Normal Life
    1: Lead A Normal Life “My family arrived in this country from Spain at the time of the Armada, and the story goes we were adopted by Cornish peasants . .” Peter Gabriel, 1974 “My dad is an electrical engineer, inventor type, reserved, shy, analytical, and my mum’s more instinctive, she responds by the moment – music is her big thing. And I’ve got both.” Peter Gabriel, 2000 HEN Peter Gabriel spoke of rather trusting a ‘country man than a Wtown man’ in Genesis’ 1974 song ‘The Chamber Of 32 Doors’, he could well have been talking about his own roots. For in his 63 years (at the time of writing), Gabriel has spent less than a decade living in a city. Although he keeps a residence in West London, Gabriel lives in rustic splendour at his home by his Real World studios in Box near Bath in Wiltshire, which echoes the rural idyll of his childhood in the Surrey countryside. The physical roots of his life could be a metaphor for his semi-detached relationship with showbusiness; near enough, yet far away. Surrey is less than an hour from London and his residence now is less than 15 minutes from the bustling city centre of Bath. He can get into the middle of things easily when he needs to, yet he remains far enough removed. It is not dissimilar to his relationship with the mainstream of popular music. Whenever Gabriel has neared the big time (or indeed, ‘Big Time’, his 1986 hit single) he has been there just enough to receive acclaim and at times, stellar sales, before retreating back to the anonymous comfort of the margins.

Some of the tracks were different from the album versions. New parts were recorded for several tracks in Gabriel's Real World Studios. Most songs are edited for time, either Shaking the Trees radio, single, or video edit versions. The remix is similar to the remix, which appeared as the B-side of the "Walk Through the Fire" single, but is edited down to 3m 45s long, as here. This version is a piano and voice arrangement, that Shaking the Trees far simpler than the highly produced version on Peter Gabriel Its sparseness is closer to the version that Gabriel recorded with Robert Fripp on Fripp's Exposure In interviews, Gabriel has said that he preferred the version, and it was that version with Fripp that he chose to overdub in German as the flipside of the single "Biko" released before Ein deutsches Album Although this album highlights songs from Peter Gabriel's earlier albums, tracks from Peter Gabriel II, or Scratch and the soundtrack to the film Birdy are not included. Say Anything Although Shaking the Trees made "In Your Eyes" perhaps the most well known Peter Gabriel song aside from " Sledgehammer ", it failed to crack the Shaking the Trees 20 and was thus omitted from the album in Shaking the Trees of five of the other eight tracks from So —four other hits and album track "Mercy Street".

  • In the Transition from Stage to Arena, Live Music Is Remade

Intimate Live Girls Benjamin Halligan Keywords: aura, intimacy, kissing, authenticity, liveness, social media, spectacle, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Terry Richardson, Peter Gabriel Abstract: The arena concert requires a particular type of liveness of performance in order to transcend impersonal mass entertainment. Liveness here looks to authenticity and happenstance, privileges personal communications and seeks to live in the moment, and in this way the live performance then meets and matches or even surpasses the virtual life of the artist or group. The concert must be both mass spectacle and an individual and singular experience for those witnessing and participating in it. Without these latter essential attributes, which can be read as the auratic and authentic replacing the virtual, the arena concert falls short of ontological expectations of live music. In recent years the mise-en-scène of the arena concert has become calibrated to female artists with, seemingly, a concomitant feminisation of the event. In this, the space is often given over to intimacy, empathy, and presented as an insight into the life, and even philosophy, of the performer.

  • Peter Gabriel by W Ill Hermes
    Peter Gabriel By W ill Hermes The multifaceted performer has spent nearly forty years as a solo artist and music innovator. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY PETER GABRIELS: THE PROG rocker who steered the cosmos-minded genre toward Earth; the sem i- new waver more focused on empathic storytelling and musical inno­ vation than fashion or attitude; the Top Forty hitmaker ambivalent about the spotlight; the global activist whose Real World label and collaborations introduced pivotal non-Western acts to new audiences; the elder statesman inspiring a new generation of singer-songwrit­ ers. ^ So his second induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a solo act this time - his first, in 2010, was as cofounder of the prog-pop juggernaut Genesis - seems wholly earned. Yet it surprised him, especially since he was a no-show that first time: The ceremony took place two days before the notorious perfectionist began a major tour. “I would’ve gone last time if I had not been about to perform,” Gabriel (b. February 13,1950) explained. “I just thought, 1 can’t go. We’d given ourselves very little rehearsal time.’” ^ “It’s a huge honor,” he said of his inclusions, noting that among numerous Grammys and other awards, this one is distinguished ‘because it’s more for your body of work than a specific project.” ^ That body of work began with Genesis, named after the young British band declined the moniker of “Gabriel’s Angels.” They produced their first single (“The Silent Sun”) in the winter of 1968, when Gabriel was 17.

  • Mark Fisher Goldsmiths, University of London / University of East London (UK)
    The Metaphysics of Crackle: Afrofuturism and Hauntology Feature Article Mark Fisher Goldsmiths, University of London / University of East London (UK) Abstract There has always been an intrinsically “hauntological” dimension to recorded music. But Derrida’s concept of hauntology has gained a new currency in the 21st century, when music has lost its sense of futurism, and succumbed to the pastiche- and retro- time of postmodernity. The emergence of a 21st century sonic hauntology is a sign that “white” culture can no longer escape the temporal disjunctions that have been constitutive of the Afrodiasporic experience since Africans were first abducted by slavers and projected from their own lifeworld into the abstract space-time of Capital. Time was always-already out of joint for the slave, and Afrofuturism and hauntology can now be heard as two versions of the same condition. Keywords: Hauntology, Afrofuturism, dub, phonography, rockism Mark Fisher is the author of Capitalist Realism (2009) and the forthcoming Ghosts Of My Life: Writings on Depression, Hauntology and Lost Futures. His writing has appeared in many publications, including The Wire, Frieze, The Guardian and Film Quarterly. He is Programme Leader of the MA in Aural and Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths, University of London and a lecturer at the University of East London.
