Mano Tiro - Havana 1959 (original Mix)

Esa and I (along with Shingai Shoniwa) arrived in Cuba in Feb 2014 to perform live at the inaugural Havana World Music Festival. Partly inspired by Mala’s 2013 album ‘Mala in Cuba’, we managed to book a couple of days of studio time in Havana, hosted by the Laboratorio Nacional de Música Electroacústica.


On the Saturday evening, we were invited to perform at “Villalon” - a weekly free party open for all and regularly attracting crowds of 2000+. A big soundsystem is erected in a public square and the local house DJs play music for 4 hours or so every week. We would be the 2nd non-Cuban act  (after Mala) to perform and, as we were due to play live as well as DJ, were required to be interviewed in order to ensure we would be the right fit for the party. 

Having past this ‘test’, word spread by text message that we were playing so we turned up to find well over 4000 people had turned up, a lot of them wearing British flags in support (a sight we’d never seen before!). The gig went well and over the course of the day and night, we met a whole host of local musicians who we invited to the studio later the week. 

We didn’t know who we would see at the studio but were pleasantly surprised that a handful of the musicians we’d met had made it – amazing talent on trumpet, vocals, percussion and keys. In the evening after the first days session, I chopped up some of the percussion and trumpets we’d recorded and made a simple loop. When we returned the next day, I gave the loop to Eric Alejandro and asked him to come up with a vocal for it. 

We’d agreed to appear on Cuban Music Television later that afternoon so were limited with time. With only ten minutes to go of the final session, Eric said he’d come up with the lyrics for the loop. So we set up some mics and played the loop for six minutes. He recorded the vocal in one take and absolutely smashed it. We managed to beg for another ten minutes of studio time so we could record a second take and ended up being able to add trumpets too. The track became ‘Die Bailando’, a 12 minute Rhumba-jam. 

Many thanks to everyone at the Institute, to the British Council, British Embassy and to the musicians who performed on the release. In particular, Julian, Rhys, Will @ Lake of Stars Festival, Hugo, Usmani @ Casa Vitrales, Erlend and everyone at HWM, Teresa, Shingai, Eric, Yissy, Jorge, Julio and everyone at the LNME.

The Highlife World Series is a collaborative series of releases by UK-based Brian d’Souza aka Auntie Flo and Esa Williams. The first three parts are to be released in quick succession in early 2015, beginning with Cuba, followed by Kenya and finishing with Uganda. Each release features original songs produced in collaboration with local musicians. All proceeds from each release will be sent back to the respective countries in order to fund further musical production costs in years to come. We will also be seeking various ways to distribute the music in each country so the music is freely available for the musicians to use at home.

El funk, el house y el disco fueron algunas de las razones que llevaron a Iván y Andrés a decidir, hace algunos años, en sus épocas universitarias, a emprender el viaje que hoy en día tiene como nombre Discoholycs. Un proyecto que rescata a través pistas bailables y frescas el groove y la excentricidad de los 70`s y los 80`s con un aire actual.

“Don Genaro Ep”, su más reciente producción, es un homenaje a su viejo amigo y mascota que los acompañó durante años. Como parte de un tributo que se le rinde a su mejor amigo, este Ep cuenta con dos producciones originales: “Don Genaro”, track muy influenciado por el hip hop ochentero, acompañado de synthes futuristas, y “Que es Funk?”, una producción, más cercana al deep house, con cierto corte hip hopero en sus beats. Este duo reitera su amor por el funk, a través del sampler de una entrevista del padrino George Clinton.

Así mismo, un viejo amigo de la casa, el portugués;  Bruno Cardoso a.k.a Xinobi (Discotexas) nos deja un maravilloso remix para el sencillo "Don Genaro"; el cual Nómada Records tiene el placer de presentarlo como Free Download como agradecimiento del constante apoyo de su público durante el 2016. 


_________________________________________________

Funk, House and Disco were some of the reasons that led Ivan and Andres to decide a few years ago, in their college times to undertake the journey that today is known as Discoholycs. A Project that rescues through danceable and fresh music that Groove and eccentricity from 70’s and 80’s with a modern air.

“Don Genaro Ep” their latest production, is a tribute to their old friend dog called “Genaro” who accompanied them for many years. This Ep features two original tracks: “Don Genaro” a track heavily influenced by the eighties Hip Hop and Funk, accompanied by futuristic synths, and “Que Es Funk?”, a production closer to Deep House mixed with Hip Hop beats and samples. This duo spread their love for the Funk by sampling an intevirew by the godfather of the funk “George Clinton”

By also an old friend, the portuguese; Bruno Cardoso a.k.a Xinobi (Discotexas)gives us an outstanding remix for "Don Genaro" Single. Which Nómada Records is pleased to give it away as appreciation of the constant support from by its fans during this 2016. 

Remixed, Mixed & Mastered by Xinobi.
