Sound Nomaden - Just Wanna Be Me

Mr Bongo proudly presents the third album by Melbourne/Naarm multi-instrumentalist, Don Glori, entitled ‘Paper Can’t Wrap Fire’. A kaleidoscopic genre-surfing odyssey that brings together the worlds of jazz, soul and funk. Feeling both contemporary and classic, familiar yet novel, it’s an assured third release that sees an artist in full flight, showcasing their creative prowess and the uniqueness of their musical voice.

Steering in a new direction, Don Glori (aka Gordon Li) has delved headfirst into his songwriting with ‘Paper Can’t Wrap Fire’. Deftly showcasing his talents as a writer and bandleader, he brings with him a whole host of friends from the creative crossroads that is Naarm. It’s an album enriched with more soul, R&B, and funk-oriented songs than his previous jazz-rooted productions, yet there’s still plenty of jazz material for those familiar fans of Don's earlier works.

The album’s title is an old Chinese proverb, roughly translated as 'you can’t deny the truth'. This underlying thread is woven between the songs. “A lot of them are in some way about truth-seeking, observations and the masks you put on to deal with life (hence the cover art)”, Don mentions. Take, for instance, the sensational soul single 'Brown Eyes' featuring silky lead vocals by ML Hall. A dissection of the minority experience, and the power and comfort in building those communities. Elsewhere, 'Disaster' is a satirical take on the structures serving everyone but the artists, and 'Flicker' tackles notations of truth and clarity after introspection.

To marry that meaning with the level of musicianship on these tracks is what really stands out. Don has set out his stall here as an artist who can write songs that hit home in the heart, as much as they do in the head. It’s a journey infused with a glistening jazz finesse, layered with nourishing vocal harmonies and powered by an instantly relatable human soul. 

Recorded over two hot summer days in Rolling Stock Studios in Collingwood, Naarm, the lineup of musicians is built up of Don's friends and family. Featuring the backbone team of Tim Cox, Al Kennedy, Joel Trigg, Robyn Cummins and Lachlan Thompson, who were part of Don's touring band before he relocated to London, and a stunning selection of vocalists in the form of ML Hall, Ruby Dargaville, Isadora Lauritz, and Bianca Kyriacou. Also gracing the album is trumpeter extraordinaire Audrey Powne, saxophonist Joshua Moshe, and Alcides Neto, sprinkling some Brazilian magic into the record. 

Taking influence from artists including Azymuth, SAULT, Jordan Rakei and Lynda Dawn, as well as from London musical beacons such as NTS and Total Refreshment Centre, Don has run with this, leaned in and come out with a record truly unique to himself and his distinctive core, with no mask necessary.

CLASSICA ORCHESTRA AFROBEAT is an italian ensemble consisting of 13 musicians from mixed classical, baroque and jazz background. Conducted by MARCO ZANOTTI, it creates a border land that combines the sounds and expressive peculiarities of the instruments of the European classical tradition as strings, woodwinds and harpsichord with percussion, chants and African polyrhythms.

The debut album SHRINE ON YOU (Brutture Moderne 2011) is a tribute to Fela Kuti, recorded with his son and heir Seun Kuti. It made a full of rave reviews both in Italy and abroad, including participation in 2013 live at the Glastonbury Festival-UK (first Italian band ever invited) and in 2014 in Perugia as a flagship event of the Festival of Radio 3RAI. Other performances to remember are Piazza del Duomo in Milan, the Baths of Caracalla in Rome with guest Seun Kuti, the New Empowering Church in London and various live performances in Radio1RAI and Radio3RAI.

The second work of the band is REGARD SUR LE PASSE', an epic opera in three movements. It was recorded live at the Alighieri Opera House in Ravenna (IT) and presented in 2014 at Rome's Auditorium Parco della Musica. It's a musical suite that, through the ancient sounds both European and African, recounts the exploits of the last emperor of Africa, Samory Toure. Guests of the show are two internationally renowned griot: Sekouba Bambino and Baba Sissoko.

In 2017 Classica Orchestra Afrobeat presents its third work titled POLYPHONIE: a show dedicated to the greatness of nature, inspired by the breath and the millenary chants of the virgin forest. The repertoire is almost exclusively of original compositions while the lead voice is that of Cameroonian singer Njamy Sitson.
