Søla en Eurøpa - Coconutah Remix

Stomp test deux

From Philly to Essaouira to NYC to the World, Ben Arsenal, Moktar Gania and Akil Apollo created “Heavy Like a Ton” which is a dance-floor workout for the times. 

Philly goes to Morocco:
Ben Arsenal is a Philadelphia based innovator in the dance music space. As a producer, DJ, instructor, arranger, and band leader he leads Philadelphias notorious Worldtown- an international club concept turned seven piece live house music band. 

Morocco:
Former port of Timbuktu in the 18th and 19th centuries, Essaouira, which has a deep transcultural background along its many music and art festivals, appears today as the playground of the boldest musical experiences - Essaouira preserving the last and lonely sacred house of every Gnawa communities (Zaouïa) in Morocco. As a worthy heir to the Gania dynasty which counted so much in the culture of Morocco, Maâlem Moktar Gania from Essaouira has self established himself as an essential player in the today Gnawa music scene. Nurtured by these pillars of the Gnawa tradition, namely both late father Boubker and brother Mahmoud, the young Moktar has performed all over the world with the Gania family but also with such figures as Randy Weston, Bill Laswell, Pharoah Sanders, Carlos Santana and many others. 

Morocco & Philly go to NYC:
Akil Apollo began writing poetry in elementary school and mastered freestyle/improvised rapping in early high school. In college he spent years rapping with his former best friend, Childish Gambino, in the parks and dorms of New York and as Alternative rock/Rap Band IPPAZZI where the two sharped their skills as lyricists together. As an MC/Emcee and Event Producer his residencies and collaborations have included The Get Down, House of Yes, DayBreaker, Ecstatic Dance and a lyrical channel for many sacred ceremonies. He is currently completing his double-solo music project with his band and alter-ego “Diamond Adronika DeLaFunk”. Akil’s rapping, writing, and co-producing spans many genres and collaborators but Ben Arsenal of Worldtown truly is one of his favorites of all time! Heavy Like a Ton! 

And THAT is how we collaborate & make music for the World to share!

私があなたに惚れたのは
ちょうど十九の春でした
いまさら離縁と言うならば
もとの十九にしておくれ

もとの十九にするならば
庭の枯れ木を見てごらん
枯れ木に花が咲いたなら
十九にするのもやすけれど

見捨て心があるならば
早くお知らせ下さいね
年も若くあるうちに
思い残すな明日の花

一銭二銭の葉書さえ
千里万里と旅をする
同じコザ市に住みながら
会えぬ我が身のせつなさよ

主さん主さんと呼んだとて
主さんにゃ立派な方がある
いくら主さんと呼んだとて
一生忘れぬ片思い

奥山住まいのウグイスは
梅の小枝で昼寝して
春が来るような夢を見て
ホケキョホケキョと鳴いていた




I fell in love with you in the spring when I was 19.
If you are going to leave me now, please take me back to 19.

If you insist on taking me back to nineteen, look at the dead tree in the garden.
If I can make that deadさ tree bloom, I can make you nineteen.

If you are going to forsake me, tell me as soon as possible.
While I am still young, while I have time to bloom.

No matter how inexpensive a postcard is, it will travel a long, long time.
Even though we live in the same city of Koza, I will miss seeing you.

No matter how much I call your name, you have a wife who is very important to you.
No matter how much I call your name, it is a one-sided love that will never come true.

A Japanese bush warbler living deep in the mountains is taking a nap on a plum branch. It is crying forlornly, dreaming of the coming of spring.

Johnny Colon - Mira Ven Aca (Nat Barrera Edit)

(en castallano más abajo)

The concept of this album is part of the search for Latin American dance sounds close to the equator, a specific latitude in the world which connects Latin America with Africa and Asia.

With “Equador”, Juan Esteban Herrera a.k.a Ruido Selecto, exposes his vision of Latin electronic music as a Colombian producer. This studio work has brought new challenges that have enriched the sound of the project because the album combines various musical interpretations such as; the electric guitar played by Ruido Selecto himself, voices, choirs, trumpets and percussion. All this, without moving away from the synthesizers and the characteristic bass music sound of Ruido Selecto.

In "Equador" the African influence always present in Latin American rhythms is explored. Due to this, the music of the Caribbean, the tropical forest and the Andes are protagonists in the musical production.

Ruido Selecto is a Colombian producer of electronic music that adopts Caribbean rhythms as the raw material of its sound. In essence, Afro music is a clear reference and for this reason his sound style encourages dance and dancing as reflected in his productions and live performances. The project is created and directed by Juan Esteban Herrera, guitarist, sound explorer and music producer from the city of Medellin - Colombia.

El concepto de este álbum se enmarca en la búsqueda de las sonoridades bailables latinoamericanas cercanas a la línea del ecuador, una latitud específica en el mundo la cual conecta América Latina con África y Asía.

Con “Equador”, Juan Esteban Herrera a.k.a Ruido Selecto, expone su visión de la música electrónica latina como productor Colombiano. Este trabajo de estudio ha traído nuevos retos que han enriquecido la sonoridad del proyecto debido a que en el álbum, se combinan diversas interpretaciones musicales como; la guitarra eléctrica tocada por el mismo Ruido Selecto, voces, coros, trompetas y percusiones. Todo esto, sin alejarse de los sintetizadores y la sonoridad bass music característica de Ruido Selecto.

En “Equador” se explora la influencia africana siempre presente en los ritmos latinoamericanos. Debido a esto, las músicas del Caribe, de la selva tropical y de los Andes son protagonistas en la producción musical.

Ruido Selecto es un productor Colombiano de música electrónica que adopta ritmos del caribe como materia prima de su sonido. En esencia, la música afro es un claro referente y por esta razón su estilo sonoro incita a la danza y al baile como se refleja en sus producciones y presentaciones en vivo. El proyecto es creado y dirigido por Juan Esteban Herrera, guitarrista, explorador sonoro y productor musical de la ciudad de Medellín - Colombia.

In Venezuela "Bululú" is synonymous with agglomeration, tumult, crowd.

This EP is made up of 4 tracks - 2 singles and 2 remixes - where Candeleros gives off all his magic and energy at the service of dance and debauchery. A crowd that dances to the frenetic psychedelic rhythm of the Caribbean.

"La Meseta" mixes different rhythms, both Afro-Venezuelan and Caribbean. It is a cover of a Turkish folk song called Yaylalar performed by artists like Selda Bagcam.

The remix of "La Meseta" was done by Venezuelan producer Caribombo, who lives in France.

"Le Quedan Dos" is a cumbia-salsa, with a Gaita de Tambora arrangement at the end of the song, a rhythm from the southern coast of Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela.

It features the great singer Perro Loco del Amazonas on vocals.

The remix is by Matt Mansfield "Piper Street Sound" (US) in dub version.

The art is by the incomparable Laura Ortiz "Soma".

El Digitalazo - Manifiesto

Después de su debut con la primera publicación en junio de este año, aparece este nuevo volumen para despedir el 2023. Con cada nueva entrega, El Digitalazo va consolidando gradualmente los cimientos del espacio ideal para experimentar con el cuarteto.
El cuarteto, el ritmo popular de Córdoba, celebró recientemente 80 años de vigencia y desde entonces ha sido y sigue siendo el soundtrack de muchas generaciones. Siempre sonando en eventos tan variados como cumpleaños, casamientos, un asado, pasando por centros vecinales, en la radio de la verdulería o en la vereda de una vecina. Su máxima expresión: "el baile", donde cada noche se produce la comunión del pueblo cordobés, con distintas orquestas tocando de lunes a lunes. Ya sea consumido directa o indirectamente, la mayoría de los cordobeses han disfrutado de tirarse unos pasos al ritmo del tunga-tunga.

El ritmo alegre y veloz viene acompañado de letras que exploran temas como el amor, el desamor, la caravana, la melancolía, la tristeza y las vivencias de los barrios populares, enmarcadas en la dura realidad. Todo con la misma dosis.

Desde El Digitalazo trasladamos el sonido cuartetero al terreno que faltaba por explorar: la fusión con la música electrónica, dando como resultado lo que llamamos cuarteto digital. Este es nuestro humilde homenaje a la música popular, expresado en el lenguaje que conocemos. El Digitalazo expone de manera colectiva lo que se venía gestando poco a poco y de forma aislada: la búsqueda constante de nuevos horizontes sonoros con acento cordobés.

El Digitalazo - Manifest

After its debut with the first publication in June this year, this new volume appears to bid farewell to 2023. With each new release, El Digitalazo gradually consolidates the foundations of the ideal space to experiment with the Cuarteto.

The Cuarteto, the popular rhythm of Córdoba, Argentina, recently celebrated 80 years of existence and since then it has been and continues to be the soundtrack of many generations. It has always been played at events as varied as birthdays, weddings, barbecues, neighbourhood centres, on the radio in the greengrocer's shop or on a neighbour's pavement. Its maximum expression: "el baile", where every night the communion of the people of Cordoba takes place, with different orchestras playing from Monday to Monday. Whether consumed directly or indirectly, most Cordobeses have enjoyed throwing a few steps to the rhythm of the tunga-tunga.

The upbeat and fast rhythm is accompanied by lyrics that explore themes such as love, heartbreak, the caravan, melancholy, sadness and the experiences of the popular neighbourhoods, framed in the harsh reality. All with the same dose.

From El Digitalazo we moved the Cuarteto sound to the terrain that was yet to be explored: the fusion with electronic music, resulting in what we call Cuarteto Digital. This is our humble tribute to popular music, expressed in the language we know.

El Digitalazo exposes in a collective way what had been brewing little by little and in an isolated way: the constant search for new sound horizons with a Cordobés accent.
