What a journey into the DRC - thanks Billy! 💚

The Barefoot Adventures is a simple but dedicated journey to curate, discover and create mix-tapes for every country on planet earth. That's 195 countries, 195+ episodes.
 
Each mix must exclusively contain music written by musicians from each selected country.
​
Please note, though I aim to be as respectful and sensitive as I can curating these mixes, finding artists and learning about new cultures, I may make mistakes along my journey. If you notice anything offensive, or incorrect, please contact me and I will gladly change it.

The Barefoot Adventures - Worldwide Series

The Barefoot Adventures returns as I dive into Libya, a troubled but hugely historical country situated amongst the Sahara Desert. After speaking to some new friends from Libya, I began to learn of the complicated situation and history of this place. Within Libya there is little to no self-made pop music industry, but various kinds of Arab music are popular, such as Andalusi music, locally known as Ma'luf, Chabi, not to mention Arab classical music, and Libyan Reggae which came to the surface in the 90’s.

In the south the Tuareg (Berber) have their own distinctive folk music. They play a one-stringed violin called an anzad, as well as a variety of drums.
Two of the most famous musicians of Libya are Ahmed Fakroun and Mohammed Hassan.
Rhythmic clapping is also common in Libyan folk music.
Traveling Bedouin poet-singers have spread many popular songs across Libya. Among their styles is Huda, the camel driver's song, the rhythm of which is said to mimic the feet of a walking camel.

Native voice spoken by the wonderful: @Aseelelhame
A special thanks to: Mohammed talaia, Khaled and Eisha for the help.

EPISODE 25 / URUGUAY

The Barefoot Adventures returns with a zoom into the rich musical history and culture of Uruguay.⁠ While virtually diving into this small but fascinating place, I came across new genres such as Candombe, Canto Popular, Uruguayan Rock, Milonga, Murga, and of course Cumbia.⁠
⁠
Digging in was an absolute treat, and it was difficult to squeeze my discoveries into a 2 hour show, but I think I just about managed it.⁠

The Barefoot Adventures - 25 - Uruguay

So excited to continue this beloved series with a sonic exploration of Laos. This episode we discover rare cuts and selections from an array of time-periods in this countries complicated timeline. I take us on an auditory time-capsule, learning the sounds of Mor Lam, Luang Prabang (traditional court music), music of the Khene flute (instrument of Laos), Vietiane and Chmapasak styles.

Thank you to all the native Laos people who helped me begin to learn and discover the sounds of this wonderful place. Also, Thank you you to Ae.

If you are in the California area and want to learn more about Lao culture, you can go to Sabaidee Fest (March 18-19).

@Mattmosphere and Love Foundation that is a love affair that has been going on for a while. It all started with a romantic weekend in Vienna beginning 2018, sparks were flying and a second weekend getaway was planned together. This time outside and in the slightly smaller mountains of the Netherlands, in Limburg.

After that it was clear that both parties are ready for the next step and a fusion of the @drosssel and Love Foundation family with a 48 hour rave weekend in Mensch Meier in Berlin, was the logical conclusion in summer 2019.

Now we are limited to online dating, but Matt knows how to play that game as well and the set that he recorded for us, hits us right in the heart. Be ready for an hour full of emotions and a special kind of journey that only Matt knows how to take you on. 

We love you Matt and we look already forward to the next gathering in real life together.

Till then stay safe & stay sexy.

Für die elfte Ausgabe des Furikasts hat unser Freund @JaschaHagen in guter  Oldschool-Manier einen 7-Inch Vinyl-Mix auf Magnetband fixiert. Seine sorgfältige Selektion voller Soul und groovy Vibes versüsst uns die ruhigen Spätsommernächte . Das Plattenknistern schreit nach "Love and Happiness“ und der warme Tapesound nach ”Sooner or later it will all be the same“ !!

By far one of my favorite musical journeys so far, I take you to the Democratic Republic of Congo. An up-lifting mix of rhythm, Rumba, Soukous and Afro-latin grooves.

After the Congo Crisis and their independence from Belgium in the 1960’s, between the 1960s and 1970s, Congolese musicians absorbed musical influences from various parts of the world. Genres included American jazz, rhythm and blues, European and Cuban music. The Afro-Latin sounds of Cuba were so influential that some Congolese musicians even sometimes sang in Spanish. New genres were created such as Congolese rumba or Soukous and the Congolese guitar style influenced numerous musicians in the African continent.

Musicians based in Leopoldville (now Kinshasa) and Brazzaville were very popular and thousands of fans throughout the Congo and elsewhere in Africa danced to their songs. Legends of the scene included Docteur Nico, Grand Kallé and Tabu Ley, Franco’s OK Jazz Orchestra and Verckys.

DRC has over 200 native languages including French, but in the end I found dear Cédric Dh to record the introduction in the native Lingala language. Thanks again for listening.

Enjoy

The Barefoot Adventures - 21 - Democratic Republic of Congo

As the cold approaches, I head east to the vast and ancient lands of Mongolia. Over the rugged expanses, mountains and through its capital Ulaanbaatar. 
Learning about Mongolian culture was deeply fascinating and leaves me with a yearning curiosity to discover more of the history of Mongolia.

I decided to focus on the traditional side of sound.
My selection aims to showcase the rich tradition of throat singing (höömji), long song, court music, and Mongolian pop.

Thank you to Amira for the voice recording.

The Barefoot Adventures  - 22 - Mongolia

This month's episode focuses on Panama, a country diverse in rich wildlife, biodiversity and mixed culture.

I became fascinated with the somewhat electric energy of its musical traditions, ranging from salsa to reggae, jazz, cambia, pastille and tamborito. A country first influenced by the indigenous populations of Kunas, Teribes, Ngobe Bugle and others, then by the black population who were brought over, first as slaves from Africa, between the 16th century and the 19th century, and then voluntarily (especially from Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Dominica, Saint Lucia) to work on the Panamanian Railroad and Canal projects between the 1840s and 1914.

This lead to a diverse culture and sound.
Here is my take on what I found when digging through the musical history books of Panama.
