Five Great Guitars - Bougouroubou

New song from the forthcoming album by Nahawa Doumbia, out 29 January on Awesome Tapes From Africa.
Pre-order/stream http://smarturl.it/kanawa

Nahawa Doumbia’s new album Kanawa concisely captures this current moment in Malian history. The singer, whose storied career spans more than four decades, reflects on the immigration crisis from the Malian perspective in the title of her new album Kanawa. Across eight songs recorded in Bamako with a band including traditional and modern instruments, Doumbia merges her early work that relied on a spare expression of her trademark didadi rhythm with the bombastic range of contemporary Malian pop. The beautifully complex musical accompaniment that results is courtesy of the large ensemble she pulled together with producer and arranger (and day one collaborator) N’gou Bagayoko. 

The band features two highly expressive Malian string instruments, the ngoni and the slightly smaller kamalé ngoni, as well as a variety of percussion, drum programming, karignan (a metal scraper) and acoustic and electric guitars. Doumbia’s daughter, a celebrated singer with her own group and busy concert schedule, Doussou Bagayoko sings on “Adjorobena,” a song about patience, tolerance and living in peace. Doumbia weaves together a roadmap of her psyche when it comes to the good and bad life has to offer. She talks about marriage and women leaving home to join another through the metaphor of a tree in the garden; she includes gunshot samples in the song “Foliwilen” to honor the bravery of hunters, soldiers and other courageous people; she uses a bird in “Djougoh” to talk about lazy people; and, in “Ndiagneko” she advises people to ignore critics, just do you.  

Mali has gone through an intense period of regional strife and terrorist incidents over the last ten years and Doumbia roots the album in tragic local concerns with deep global implications. “The meaning of Kanawa is so simple. We see our children trying to cross the ocean all the time. I said that many of our children die in the ocean and some of them die while crossing the Sahara. But I ask them why do they leave their country? They said that they leave because of the family situation or problems like poverty and unemployment. I ask them to stay and work in their country. I call on the UN and African leaders so that we can coordinate our efforts to find a solution, to create jobs for them so that young people stop leaving. That’s why I chose it as the title of my album so that everybody can learn from it and also so that there is a reduction in the number of people emigrating. So that some will hear the message and stay home and grow the land. Leaving is not the only solution. My message is to help the youth find jobs.”

Playlist & Description:
Malian Music
Sedmnáctý díl sonicafrica nás zavede do Malijské Republiky, země hudebně požehnané. Představíme si tři interprety z této země. Nejprve nás zhypnotizuje svou více než desetiminutovou skladbou griot jež si říká Ganda Fadiga. Píseň je jakousi meditativní recitací za doprovdu tradičních hudebních nástrojů, jež hrají opakující se motivy v průběhu celé skladby ( pro zajímavost podotýkám, že se jedná o nejkratší skladbu z celého alba :) )

Pokud je Gandova hudba uzemňující, tak hudba následující zpěvačky jménem Rokia Traoré je naopak povznášející. Mladá zpěvačka s andělským hlasem mi trošinku připomíná Ivu Bitovou v africkém podání, názor si můžete udělat sami. Na závěr si pustíme tři skladby z koncertního vystoupení slavného interpreta jménem Habib Koite. Ti kdo navštívili některé z jeho vystoupení v Praze, mohou zavzpomínat.

AfroJazz is a Brazilian Contemporary Jazz Group. Started in 2012, AfroJazz came out of a desire to reframe the contemporary lineage of African Heritage music.

African music and heritage has had an astounding impact on the development of most of music developed in the 20th century.  Jazz and samba, to rock n’ roll, reggae and hip-hop are all styles of music that benefited from African roots. AfroJazz melds the feel of all of these styles into a completely new sound. Even though it's difficult to define exactly what AfroJazz sounds like, the mixture of traditional ethnic percussion with classic jazz horns places it somewhere between Africa, Brazil, and the US.

AfroJazz's original arrangements and compositions are strongly influenced by the masters Moacir Santos, Mulatu Astatke, Mongo Santa Maria, Guy Warren and Fela Kuti. Therefore every performance is magnetic and full of energy. They are filled with a unique combination of free improvisation, DJ scratches, electric guitar riffs and audience interaction.

AfroJazz has played all over Rio de Janeiro and was almost immediately recognized and appreciated by the local youth, and quickly became a beacon of  Rio de Janeiro's changing jazz scene. The group shows remarkable power to bring the people to its shows and is revealing a new kind of audience: people who party, dance and enjoy themselves while listening to refined new age instrumental music.

The year of 2014 has provided AfroJazz with some great opportunities. While still in Rio, they played for a 20,000 person audience in Brazil's coolest open-air jazz festival, the Rio das Ostras Jazz & Blues Festival. Marcus Miller, Al Jarreau and Scott Henderson also participated in the festival. In October, AfroJazz took a trip to China to play at the Cotai Jazz & Blues Festival in Macau. While there, AfroJazz won the special recognition award. At the present moment a CD with new songs is being recorded.

Stay tuned!

Português

Destaque da cena carioca, a banda Afrojazz formou-se no Rio de Janeiro em 2012 e, desde então, vem realizando shows e participando de festivais nacionais e internacionais. A banda ficou conhecida pela realização das noites “Quarta Jazz” na Estudantina (RJ) e hoje se apresenta em diversas casas de show. Com seus seis integrantes foi destaque no Rio das 
  Ostras Jazz & Blues Festival 2014 e vencedor do concurso VOZPARATODOS do circuito Banco do Brasil. Ainda esse ano foram os primeiros representantes brasileiros no China's Cotai Jazz and Blues Festival, de onde retornaram com o prêmio Special Recognition Award.
    Influenciados por artistas como Mulatu Astatke, Guy Warren, Black Rio,Moacir Santos, Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, Avishai Cohen, Miles Davis entre outros, a música do Afrojazz mistura ritmos afro-brasileiros e evidencia a ancestralidade musical da nossa cultura, mas sem perder o contato com a contemporaneidade do hip hop ou do rock. Suas composições transitam entre ritmos dançantes, vigorosos e originais. A banda conta com percussão, guitarra, contrabaixo, bateria, trompete e saxofone e seu trabalho pode ser conferido em seu álbum de estreia, com participação especial do Dj Negralha, já lançado esse ano. Atualmente a banda está em estúdio gravando o próximo disco só com autorais.
