What has become of the Ténéré

The Ténéré* has become an upland of thorns
Where elephants fight each other
Crushing tender grass under foot. 

The gazelles have found refuge high in the mountains
The birds no longer return to their nests at night
The camps have all fled.

You can read the bitterness on the faces of the innocents
During this difficult and bruising time 
In which all solidarity has gone. 

The strongest impose their will
And leave the weakest behind
Many have died battling for twisted ends. 
And joy has abandoned us
Exhausted by all this duplicity. 

*  Ténéré is a Tamashek word meaning empty land or desert. The plural of the word is tinariwen.

'Migration' Out Now

Shadow Banger is my contribution to #savefabric

http://www.fabriclondon.com/store/save-fabric.html

Shadow Banger

When it came out in 1984 the far-out album Sweet Sweet Dreams by Trinidad & Tobago’s Shadow (aka Winston Bailey) was described as “way ahead of its time”. Undeservedly it was panned by critics and, unable to reach markets, disappeared into the dusty record collections of a few music aficionados. Now, more than three decades later that cosmic dance-floor UFO is about to take off again, change all that and set the record straight. Remastered and cut by Frank Meritt at The Carvery the album is truly a masterpiece.

But who is this Shadow behind Sweet Sweet Dreams? Shadow is a man of understated magnitude. A truly enigmatic artist, he first emerged in Trinidad and Tobago during the 1970s, becoming a part of the tapestry of Caribbean music and reinvigorating calypso at the time. Calypso, the indigenous folk music of Trinidad and Tobago, has roots in West African kaiso rhythms, French Creole influences, and the hardships endured by the African slaves brought to Trinbago, whose descendants still use it as a tool for satire, self-expression,  and social commentary. Calypso has also given birth to several other music genres, including soca, with its uptempo beats and festival context. Shadow effortlessly moves between both.

Accoring to Carl "Beaver" Henderson, one of Trinidad's veteran producers; “Shadow broke all the traditional musical rules and made his own and that made him a musical giant. He changed the face of Calypso music in 1974 with the release of "Bassman" a tune in which Bass and magnificent horn line took central stage changing Soca music for ever. What Shadow did with his music was to put calypso on the International Dance circuit, giving it a totally different groove. You could take his music and swing it in any direction; Disco, Pop, Calypso, you name it. His music was different from anything that existed before”. 

This inert creativeness culminated in Sweet Sweet Dreams which was arranged by Shadow and deals with burning and ever-relevant themes like love and the ups and downs of relationships. a surprising fact for someone mainly known for his satirical and political lyrics. It prompted his manager to wonder if Shadow had written the lyrics while in a state of ‘tabanca’ (a word used in Trinidad and Tobago to describe lovesickness). 

Sweet Sweet Dreams was recorded at the legendary SHARC studios, located on a hill in Chaguaramas (near Port of Spain) and despite a fantastic sound and monster Soca-boogie tunes like “Lets get it together”, “Lets Make it Up” and “Way, Way Out” the album was a commercial flop, probably due to the fact that it didn’t sound like anything else coming out of Trinidad & Tobago at the time: It fused a range of different rhythms and new sounds, primarily heavy synth riffs.

Shadow took the album’s lack of success in his stride with usual aplomb:
“When I did Sweet Dreams I expect something could happen. But nothing big happen because I have no big market and no distribution and all this thing now. So I just cool myself and move on to another song. I wasn’t doing just one song. I used to always have plenty songs at the one time. And be writing music”.

What Shadow didn’t realise back then was that the proto-electronic cocktail he had mixed in 1984 would only find the recognition it deserved three decades later. Life has swung full circle: Sweet Sweet Dreams has come true and been elevated to holy grail status becoming one of the most sought-after Caribbean disco records in existence. Asked about this turn around Shadow mused  “I’m trying to understand that part. A lot of people ask me for it over a few years now. But I never give anybody it. That music wasn’t for then. It’s for now”.

Afrolicious - 'A DUB FOR MALI' EP
released on 8/16/2011 on ESL Music 
Imagine stepping into a bumping dance party at the peak of the night and feeling the movement of the dancers around you; take a psychedelic walk through the Malian desert with a boom box, or meditate on some modern dub as the night winds down. Afrolicious brings musical treats for you to feed your mind, body and soul which mixes a love of dj and dance culture along with a passion for organic soulful live music from around the world. With their first official release "A Dub for Mali" they have created a recipe that will satisfy diverse musical palettes, with elements of Afro-Beat and Disco brought together for 'Thursday Night Kinda Swing', Electro-Dub, reggae and down-tempo on the title track 'Foolin' and a funky mix of Malian blues, psychedelia and beats on 'A Dub for Mali' the ep is a reflection and a taste of the wide spectrum of sounds that have been cultivated weekly at the San Francisco based Afrolicious party, hosted by real life brothers Pleasuremaker and Señor Oz.Afrolicious' debut features some outstanding vocal performances from Burkina Faso's Yacouba Diara and Trinidad's Fresh is Life; locked in percussion and scatting vocals of Baba Duru,tight horn work of Billy Magic and Aaron Lebowitz and the wicked slide guitar, funky bass and arrangements of Joey "Pleasuremaker" McGuire.Produced by Rob Garza of Thievery Corporation the tracks were recorded in an improvisational atmosphere that helped capture the magic of the Afrolicious party environment, a place where magic might happen if you give it a chance.The vibe of the Afrolicious party and the years of working with outstanding musicians, vocalists and djs in clubs all over are captured on this release.

Hior Chronik - Still Foggy (cosmonaut grechko Version)

'Crazy' is the first single off of the upcoming full length album by San Francisco's Afrolicious. This disco banger is infused with Afro guitars, poly-rhythmic Latin percussion, fierce horn stabs and the soulful vocals of Trinidad and Tobago's Fresh is Life. 'Crazy' is a timeless dance floor anthem that feels like it could have been played at David Mancuso's Loft parties, Larry Levans Paradise Garage club, in a Lagos nightclub in the late '70's or in any contemporary club in London, New York or Tokyo. Musically composed by Pleasuremaker (who plays bass, guitars, keyboards and drum programming) and with lyrics written by Fresh is Life 'Crazy' is the culmination of the Afrolicious aesthetic: great melodies, funky rhythms, universal lyrics and good vibes. 'Crazy' will be making dance floors go crazy for a long time to come, and with remixes by the legendary Jamaican Dub producer Scientist coming out later this year the craziness is unlikely to end anytime soon.

09. Johnny Guitar - Omer Khorshid Music عمر خورشيد موسيقى

Side Effect is the most energetic and invigorating indie band from
Burma/Myanmar. Against a great deal of political and economic
challenges, Side Effect has been rocking, irrepressibly, since 2004.
The band has cultivated an indie sound that combines their poetic
Burmese lyrics with their musical roots in punk, and mixes them with
elements of garage rock, power pop, and back-to- the-basics
rock’n’roll, in a manner similar to bands like The Strokes and The
Libertines.

The band’s music draws inspiration from everyday life in Yangon and
the current political shifts in Myanmar. The recent demolishing of
music censorship has given them the ability to become more
socio-political. The band’s songs embody the passionate resilience of
youth in Myanmar; Tser Htoo, the band’s self-taught drummer, practiced
by hitting on piles of books until the day he could go to the studio
to play a real drum set - the band still can’t afford one.

While Myanmar has only recently opened up its doors after being closed
for 50 years, Side Effect are ready to take on the world...
