The Roots - "When The People Cheer"

We were thrilled to work with singers from the COC, but when we had a chance to talk to them and get into the rehearsal space, we realized that we had less than 24 hours. We went in with a vague idea, tore it up, started again. We didn’t want to waste those singers in a half-baked punk song. Mike, our guitar player, came up with the shell of an idea of a singer who was lured from her art by the illusion of freedom, promised by a nefarious stranger. We were interested in creating a piece that seized the musical opportunity rather than addressing one particular moment, but the frame of the story–a person who is free leaving the structures in which they’ve grown to do something new only to have that illusion shattered by reality–is a very old narrative, and one that we see echoed throughout stories in this or any other year.

Misterioso

Ternura Antiga
Dolores Duran

Ai, a rua escura, o vento frio
Esta saudade, este vazio
Esta vontade de chorar
Ai, tua distância tão amiga
Esta ternura tão antiga
E o desencanto de esperar
Sim, eu não te amo porque quero
Ai, se eu pudesse esqueceria
Vivo, e vivo só porque te espero
Ai, esta amargura, esta agonia

Luanda Jones- Voice and guitar

Ternura Antiga

Christopher Butcher is a musician firmly established as a representative of Toronto’s global music village, transcending genre and cultural predisposition, and pleasing audiences across the world. As a first rate trombone player, an up-and-coming record producer, a busy session musician, and co-leader of one of 2011’s most heavily buzzed new bands, The Heavyweights Brass Band, Christopher Butcher illustrates a promising portrait of an influential career in music.
Hailing from the heart of Canada’s vast prairies, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Christopher’s love of music was born of a musically diverse household, in which he got an early education from his father’s jazz record collection and his mother’s taste for classical radio. Moving to Toronto in his late teens to complete Humber College’s jazz studies program, Christopher hit the ground running, building a reputation as a first-call trombone player in the city’s vibrant jazz and world music scenes. Associations with acclaimed artists, which include Jane Bunnett, Hilario Duran, Archie Alleyne, and Jay Douglas, among others, sharpened Christopher’s leadership skills, preparing him for the next step in his career with the formation of The Heavyweights Brass Band.
The Heavyweights Brass Band begun sparring in 2009 when Christopher and four like-minded musicians committed to enacting an original musical vision. Engaging a repertoire which calls on both original music, as well as the social music of the day, the Heavyweights have created a musical gumbo which mixes traditional New Orleans jazz with ingredients such as brass band music, funk, world music, pop and blues. With songs from their debut album Don’t Bring Me Down included in heavy rotation on CBC and JAZZFM radio, word of the Heavyweights’ vibrancy has caught the ears of many, including one of the world’s most respected tastemakers, Gilles Peterson, whose compilation Havana Cultura: The Search Continues features the Heavyweights’ recording of Christopher’s original composition, Nueva Orleans featuring Ogguere.
“I am blown away by this thoroughly fresh piece of cultural collaboration. I have never heard anything like this before!” - Gilles Peterson
2012 will see Christopher Butcher make further strides in the trajectory of his rising star, with a performances across Canada and the world, two arrangements/ co-production of his featured on Mundo: The World of Jane Bunnett on EMI, sideman appearances on numerous records by Canada’s best, the celebration of a Juno nomination for a record on which he was a featured soloist (Aline Morales’ Flores, Tambores e Amores), production for several artists, and the debut full length record by Christopher Butcher as a solo artist.
