Name: Trinkles Of The Night 2nd by DUMAMA
Duration: 3 min 23 s
Description: A collaboration piece produced by the extra-ordinary Vee the Vowel

[The people shall redistribute the wealth]
[The people shall redistribute the land]
[The people shall have what is rightfully theirs]
[I hope the gods of Capital answer the peoples’ prayers]
[I hope the mass amnesia comes to a fucking end]


I've been playing around with this for about a year now. It is a song as much as it is a visual or pseudo-political portrait of a city hungry for morality and dignity in the face of crippling economic inequality.

NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED- to end the song, I included a small clip of the chorus of the late Gil Scott Heron's "Johannesburg" (1975, "From South Africa to South Carolina").

Trinkles Of The Night 2nd

A jam I had with some muso-buddies one evening, and this is what happened. I've remastered the original recording so that it sounds a little more trippy and dream-sequencey.

Embo (live) // Qhawe & SalaS

Embo, a fusion of traditions, melodies, languages and rhythms from the depths of our identity. An identity that is reflected in this song that found a guitar and a warm voice motivated by the rhythms of the eternal mountain range of the Andes and by a powerful heart that beats and sings strong in the South of Africa.

composition: Qhawe Giyose and Felipe Martín Salas Sandoval
sound production: Felipe Martín Salas Sandoval

48 heures avant sa sortie, le premier album d’un tourneboulant binôme sud-africain se dévoile en partie sur Le Grigri. Dernière trouvaille du label qui a fait découvrir Sibusile Xaba ou Thabang Tabane au monde entier, Dumama + Kechou s’imposent comme les nouveaux prophètes de la “Nomadic Future Folk”.

Il y a des oeuvres comme ça qui n’ont pas besoin de beaucoup de temps pour vous accrocher. Buffering Juju appartient à cette catégorie: dès la première écoute, on a senti qu’on tenait là un grand disque aussi moderne qu’intemporel. Il faut dire qu’on partait en terrain quasi conquis. Car ce premier album de la paire Dumama (Gugulethu Duma) et Kechou (Kerim Melik Becker), on le doit au label de Johannesburg, Mushroom Hour Half Hour. Celui-là même qui a fait connaître au monde entier deux nouveaux hérauts de la folk-jazz sud-africaine, deux voix magnétiques, deux habitués des ondes du Grigri, Sibusile Xaba et Thabang Tabane. 

Alliance entre une chanteuse-joueuse d’uhadi et un multi-instrumentiste capable de jongler entre guitare, synthés, guembri ou darbouka, Dumama + Kechou a imaginé son premier album comme une véritable histoire au long cours, celle d’une femme qui sort de prison. Sur sa route, de nombreux souvenirs lui reviennent, des rencontres se font, des transformations se mijotent. Sorte de parcours initiatique, onirique et fantastique, Buffering Juju impressionne par sa folk futuriste qui marie à merveille les instruments traditionnels xhosa et des textures proches du hip-hop. 

Pour Le Grigri et rien que pour Le Grigri, le duo a accepté de révéler, 48 heures avant sa sortie officielle, l’un des plus beaux extraits de ce disque fascinant. Sur “Wessi Walking Mama”, on retrouve un autre pilier de l’avant-garde sud-africaine, Siya Makuzeni du groupe Spaza. L’un des nombreux invités d’un disque bien habité dans tous les sens du terme puisqu’on y retrouve aussi la très free et spiritual clarinettiste de Chicago, Angel Bat Dawid. Pour le reste de ce bijou made in South Africa, il faudra patienter jusqu’au 20 mars. D’ici là, vous pourrez écouter “Wessi Walking Mama” environ 480 fois - oui, on a calculé, on est confinés.
