Hang Me Out To Dry

In anticipation of the new full length album coming later 2014 on Vampisoul Records

Song Summary:

“The dancers, ever elegant, are a pair, ever in union. The singer, ever sincere, gives his lesson, his lyrics always with a twist. Her wants to offer something original every time, but the dancers have become complacent and want a fixed rhythm to dance to, some song that they might recognize. The singer begs them to not make requests, for he has brought his own repertoire. He asks the dancers to remember that good dancing depends on new combinations.”

Lyrics:

paso elegante, siempre da el bailador
si es pa’ lante, o pa’ el lado,
pareja siempre en union

pasa el cantante, pa’ enseñar, dar la lección,
va de frente, bien virado,
entretiene su canción

como entretiene su canción
pero desafortunadamente, la formula se formó
y al bailador, se le olvido
que el baile se entretiene, con mucha combinación

pidiéndome lo mismo,
que no le cambie el ritmo,
pues báilalo distinto,
original lo que yo brindo

coro:
bailador, no me pidas, no
traigo yo mi propia canción

1:
variedad y buena combinación,
traemos en lo nuestro
a través de una original canción,
si lo permite el maestro

2:
yo no quiero piedra en mi camino,
le digo al bailador
tráete tú, tu propio estilo
tal como lo hago you

le lo lai…

In part one of our Hip Deep Brazil series, we travel back in time to Rio de Janeiro in the early 20th century to explore the birth of Brazil’s most iconic sound: samba. Beginning with the arrival of poor nordestinos in the city after the end of slavery in 1888, we follow the exploits of the early sambistas as they forged the genre that would come to represent the nation. Brazilian scholar Carlos Sandroni shows us how Afro-Brazilian religious music and popular styles like modinha transformed into the syncopated samba beat. Then, media scholar Bryan McCann guides us through the glamor and political intrigue of 1930s Rio as samba explodes as the popular music of choice throughout the country. We speak with samba greats from the old guard to the young bloods, including Dona Yvone Lara, Heitorzinho dos Prazeres, Paulão 7-Cordas and Luciana Rabelo. In closing, we find out how samba, an ambitious radio station and a populist dictatorship worked together to shape Brazilians’ ideas about race, society and the Brazilian nation itself.

On Sierra Leone's independence day in late April, musicians descend upon Freetown from rural villages to participate in parades and celebrations throughout the city, traversing and joining diverse neighborhoods together with the sound of processional music including one particular local style called bubu. Bubu is a trance inducing sound played by groups of young men blowing interlocking, hocketed breath patterns into bamboo shoots. Bubu resonates with other African diasporic horn traditions (rara and gaga especially). It has long been a part of the cultural fabric of Sierra Leone, yet its deeper story has so far eluded scholarly examination. This program, supported by original fieldwork begins a serious exposition and investigation of the intriguing mythology and history that surrounds  this unique, hypnotic music, through a focus on one Bubu musician Ahmed Janka Nabay, the artist recognized widely in Sierra Leone (and beyond) as "the Bubu King." Written and produced by Wills Glasspiegel and Drew Alt. This program is hosted by Sahr Ngaujah, star of the Broadway musical Fela!.

i got to travel a lot in north africa in the last years thru touring with blitz the ambassador and the studio session with oddisee for sawtuha in tunisia. while being there i did some digging and found some incredible music from the 60s and 70s. some of the music in this mix has zero info on the net, was never sold on ebay and has not been "rediscovered" yet. others are somewhat classics in the field of „arabic groove“. the music in this mix comes from morocco, libya, eggpt, algeria, lebanon and syria.

Earlier this month I was in North Africa for another digging trip and ended up finding quite some records I didn’t know before or I had no copy of so I felt it was time for another mix. After every mix I make I feel like „Uhh, getting enough records I like for the next one will be tough“. But every time I end up getting proven wrong by the rich musical heritage of Arabic musicians that worked on combining local influences with western musical traditions. Just like Dalton, the Tunisian band we just re-released on our new Habibi Funk label, who are also prominently featured on this mix.

Apart from the Dalton re-release that you can hear on our soundcloud we are working on rereleasing Fadoul’s music, Morocco’s answer to James Brown, who was also featured on the first two mixes. The artist himself passed in the early 90s but thru a countless number of leads we luckily ended up finding his family in Morocco, one of the highlights of my last trip but more from this later.

For now please enjoy the new mix featuring music from Sudan, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt and Lebanon. If you’re in Paris catch me playing some records at Institute Du Monde Arab on the 3rd of July…

"Habibi Funk 003 Mix" by Jannis of Jakarta Records (Mix of Arabic 60s & 70s vinyl)

we came across this great mix by caykh recordings of the golden days of somali music. sounds from before the war, songs from before the beautiful city of mogadishu became a battle ground for 2 decades. 

"This Mix of 70's and 80's Somali sound is a rich blend of traditional Somali folk music infused with Western funk, rock and reggae and a touch of Indian, Arabic and African flavors.

There are hardly any proper releases of this soulful sound of guitar, synthesizer and drums. I spent some months finding, compiling and editing rips of TV and live recordings on old VHS tapes and radio broadcasts to cassette tapes and here is what I got. Enjoy! With love from Mogadishu."
