Introduisant l'arrivée du LP "Juguya" de Baba Commandant, sur le label Sublime Frequencies, Mawimbi est fier de présenter "Wasso", l'un des titres les plus frappants de l'album, dans une toute nouvelle version accompagnée de remixes dans l'esprit du label, signés Loya ou encore M. Boom.

Caractère excentrique et mystérieux de la scène underground de Ouagadougou, Baba Commandant a débuté comme danseur Bobo traditionnel avant de s'engager dans une riche carrière musicale et de rejoindre le célèbre burkinabé Victor Démé en tant que musicien de sa tournée. Influencé par Fela Kuti, King Sunny Adé et Moussa Doumbia, Baba Commandant joue au dozo n'goni, un instrument associé aux chasseurs traditionnels Donso, reliant les écarts entre les différentes générations et les strates de la société burkinabé.

Accompagné du Mandingo Band, Baba Commandant nous délivre un mélange d'afrobeat style Fela, de mandinka blues et de funk hard-hitting. Enregistré au Ouaga Jungle Studios, "Wasso" est un excellent exemple des sons bruts, qui fondent le Mandinka blues, le dub et l'afrobeat nigérian, le tout avec une touche de punk.

La face A se dote également d'un remix signé Loya du label Mawimbi, dont la réinterprétation provoque un rythme plus dense accompagné de subtiles couches de sons organiques.

La face B du disque quant à elle est composée de deux remixes friendly DJ, avec des samples impressionnants du producteur toulousain M. Boom. Dépouillant la piste originale jusqu'à en sortir ses éléments les plus animés. Les deux versions feront des armes parfaites pour les DJs world comme les DJs de house music.

Following the release of Baba Commandant's debut album "Juguya" on the mighty Sublime Frequencies label, Mawimbi is proud to present "Wasso", one of the most striking cut from the album, in brand new mixing shape alongsides killer electronic remixes from the likes of Mawimbi signee Loya and rising producer Mr. Boom. 

A rather eccentric and mysterious character from the Ouagadougou underground scene, Baba Commandant started out as a traditional Bobo dancer, before engaging in a rich musical career and joining Burkinabé star Victor Démé as one of his touring musicians. Influenced by the likes of Fela Kuti, King Sunny Adé and Moussa Doumbia, Baba Commandant plays dozo n'goni, an instrument associated with traditional Donso hunters, bridging the gaps between different generations and strata of Burkinabé society. 

Accompanied by his Mandingo Band, Baba Commandant play a mixture of Fela-style afrobeat, mandinka blues and hard-hitting funk. Recorded at the notorious Ouaga Jungle Studios, "Wasso" is a prime example of the band's unpolished and raw sounds, melting Mandinka blues, dub and Nigerian afrobeat with a punk attitude. 

The A-side also features a remix by Mawimbi signee Loya, whose leftfield reinterpretation moves at a much higher pace with epic modular motifs and subtle organic layers of sounds.

The B-side of the record is made of two DJ-friendly remixes with impressive mixing work from Toulouse-based producer Mr. Boom. Stripping the original track down to its most lively elements, both mixes are perfect club-ready weapons for tropical-minded and house DJs.

Afrolicious Bio -

Afrolicious, the live/electronic collective based in the San Francisco Bay Area started out not as a band but as a club night at the famed Elbo Room in The Mission District in 2007.  The format of Afrolicious party was very open and included the DJs spinning the latest soulful dance music including Afro-House, broken beat, modern funk and disco alongside classics and re-edits and remixes of their favorite Afrobeat, Salsa, and Brazilian funk alongside live percussionists and guest MCs and musicians. Eventually morphing into a live band led by the production and arrangement skills of Pleasuremaker, many dancers, DJs and producers began to take notice of their unique sound.  

Since the release of their first two EPs which were produced by Rob Garza of Thievery Corporation, the reputation of the band and founding DJs Pleasuremaker and Señor Oz have grown and they have performed everywhere from Red Rocks, Burning Man, Cielo and the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. "We never planned on becoming a live band, but like everything else about Afrolicious it happened organically," says Oz. "When we started the party, it was truly what we thought the Mission was about. It wasn't exclusive and it wasn't exclusionary, it was open to everyone. The youngest person in our collective is the rising soul singer Ziek McCarter who started with us at 19. Our oldest member is Baba Duru, who moved to SF in 1970 and toured with Stevie Wonder. Our vocalist is from Trinidad and our drummer is from Brazil. We all congregated in SF over our love of the universal groove. There are rhythms that connect all dance music from the beginning of time to the present day and we believed we could transmit them."  

In 2013 they released their debut full-length album, California Dreaming on their own label, Afrolicious Music. IN 2014 they assembled some of the finest DJs and producers from around the world to remix their debut album. California Dreaming Remixed features remixes from Jamaican dub legend Scientist, Rob Garza from Thievery Corporation, Peruvian electronic live hybrid Novalima, Brazilian nu-disco producer Trotter, Australia’s Omegaman, Miami’s Stereo 77 and the Bay Area’s DJ Smash, J Boogie, Izzy Wise and Antonio Guedes.



  Afrolicious is also loosely affiliated with a worldwide group of DJs, producers, bands, and labels who produce contemporary soulful dance music inspired by sounds of the African diaspora, including Antibalas, Chico Mann, Nickodemus, DJ Smash, Wonderwheel Recordings, Subsuelo, and Cumba Mela. 



Amazing Live band, sound system, weekly party, vibration!
For 8 years Afrolicious brought out an amazing crowd every week to an experience many compare to church in the sense of a weekly gathering for spiritual purposes.
Afrolicious continues to inspire and push the boundaries of music productions, events, and community. They are set to release a number of new releases in 2015. There are finished projects ready to be released and brand new songs being  added to the fold regularly. Stay tuned for new originals, remixes, and mixtapes. Plus some amazing collaborations in the works
