Premiere: Hilal - Tarek Yamani [FLEE]

Leva (as Magumbas) - Nandele

Taken from the LP compilation " Leva Leva: Litany of the Portuguese Fishermen"  (FLEE004) out on the 16.09.2022 worldwide. 

With its new project focusing on the working songs of fishermen in Portugal, releasing a book together with a record, the art collective FLEE brings together an in-depth anthropological research together with a contemporary hybrid and artistic reflection on an important facet of Portuguese social and cultural history. Using work songs from the 1940s, 60s and 80s recorded around the Portuguese coast, the initiative attempts to document the history of these fishermen, the nature of their hardship and often exploitative conditions, as well as their progressive encounter with important economic and political transformations, which affected the country in the 1970s. 

This project aims to celebrate the memory of the Portuguese fishermen, their culture and their music by the means of a compilation with original recordings of chants and inspired modern-day compositions by artists like João Pais Filipe, Romain Baudoin, Filipa Cordeiro, Nandele and s1m0nc3ll0. Along with that record, a 160 pages long book in Portuguese and French is available featuring contributions from regional experts and artists to contextualize the tremendously rich theme that is pearling and its music.

Leva-vaga - Filipa Cordeiro

Born in the Alps on a small house spreading between the Italian and Swiss border, Alan Strani is a transdisciplinary artist exploring music and visual arts. For his new album, he invited artists Saeko Killy, Dasha Utochka (Love Object) and French singer Tessa Martin to join him in his attempt to musically make sense of the current Zeitgeist while questioning our relation to the digital world. The result is the album carried by its homonym single Apocalypso, a wordplay suggesting that, in the face of a possible emerging Apocalypse, like Ulysse during his Odyssey, the entire world is being distracted by the charms of the Calypso nymph. The album 'Apocalypso' will be out late 2022.
