Blue King Brown's new album 'Born Free' has arrived!

The beautiful 'Babylon A Fall' features legendary Jamaican vocal group 'The Congos', one of the most distinctive and important vocal groups in Jamaica's rich musical history.

Described by central figure Natalie Pa’apa’a as the band’s “strongest collection of … songs to date”, the album was brought to life on location at Tuff Gong studios in Kingston, Jamaica – the very same utilised by genre hero Bob Marley – as well as at Melbourne’s renowned Sing Sing Studios and the band’s own digs somewhere amid the sprawl of the city.

“This album more than ever captures where and who we are in our art and activism,” Pa’apa’a said of the record. “Steadfast on our musical mission, we continue to gather and hone our skills, branching into new territories, crafting our intentions into art, communication and action ... we are given focus, determination and momentum by the indisputable and irrepressible fact that humanity is born free."

Aussie vet Mista Savona lent his talents to production, as did ARIA-winning producer Styalz Fuego and the folks of Kingston’s Notis Productions, with multi-Grammy-winner James ‘Bonzai’ Caruso handling mixing duties across Australia and the US.

"We're excited about this release,” Pa’apa’a enthused. “It's such an important time to be voicing, loud and clear, the integral duty we have to unite against systemic injustices, to reclaim our rightful freedoms, share the truth, expose governments and authorities for what they really are and importantly to be singing our support to the people who are creating new ways of thinking, living and thriving outside the current paradigm.

“We give ourselves and our music to the movement; in this day and age, what could possibly be more important than that?"

All That She Wants

Ace of Base - All That She Wants

Akalé Wubé are the hardest working band on the Ethio-Jazz scene in France today. For seven years they've been hitting the stage with an impressive regularity, all over Europe, Asia and Africa. Their music — half original songs, the other half covers of Ethiopian classics and traditional tunes from the 60s and the 70s — has been growing, expanding and maturing into a unique Ethiopian groove of their own. Next week they'll be playing at the Pan Piper in Paris, with famous Malian musician, vocalist, arranger and composer Cheick Tidiane Seck as their guest. French Ethio-jazz band Arat Kilo will be opening. It'll be on saturday, october 17th. We've said it before, but save the date!

Grant Phabao is the unstoppable producer behind the Paris DJs sound. Over nearly two decades of superb music-making, he grew to be a prime purveyor of Jamaican Soul, wether labeled "ska", "rocksteady", "reggae", etc. After releasing albums with reggae icons Carlton Livingston, The Lone Ranger, The Jays or The Silvertones, and remixes for the whole planet, from George Clinton to Alice Russell, from David Byrne to Shawn Lee, from Jurassic 5 to The Beta Club… he started producing African music, working with the likes of Ebo Taylor, Franck Biyong, musicians from Fela's Afrika 70 or Egypt 80, from Antibalas, from The Souljazz Orchestra, or from Brownout, just to name a few.
With the Paris DJs label, he managed to cross the rigid boundaries of music categorization with an astonishing quantity of high-quality productions and remixes in many styles, achieving a high-order mastery in reggae, ska and afrofunk…

While discussing the possibility of releasing Akalé Wubé's sax & flute player Etienne de la Sayette's solo recordings on Paris DJs, the idea of getting Grant Phabao to put to good use his reggae-remixing skills on one of Akalé Wubé's songs arose quickly. But what about the Ethiopian horn or vocal harmonies, would they fit on a reggae groove? Well you can't really know until you try, so that's exactly what happened.

The song picked is the delighful 'Alègntayé', extracted from the band's latest album, 'Sost'. It's a tune originally written by Ayaléw Abbèbè and Tesfayé Abbèbè, arranged by Mulatu Astatqé and made famous by Pan-Ethiopian singer Tlahoun Gèssèssè. Akalé Wubé covered it with radiant Ethiopian singer Genet Asefa on vocals. Now Grant Phabao takes the tune all the way to Kingston, Jamaica — via Addis-Abeba, Ethiopia and Paris, France. It's gonna be hard to make a groove more global than that. And guess what? The resulting blend, unheard before, works like a charm! Ethio-reggae. What's next?

This one is a special dedication to Marcus Mosiah Garvey, as it was him - through his actions and words - who has continuously been inspiring a many people scattered around the world.
It features Milton Henry - a distinct voice from Jamaica, well known for his works with Wackies - on a recut of the classic ‘Words Of My Mouth’-riddim by UK dub legend Disciples with an equally deep reinterpretation by Italy’s dub veteran Buriman (Moa Anbessa) on the flip side. A tune called ‘Modern Prophet’, telling the story of ‘old Marcus’ to the ones who have an open ear and heart, young and old. As a little extra the A side holds a melodica version by Dubiterian, while the B side ends with a sax cut by Sax N Dub. Both sides were transferred to 1/2inch Tape for extra analogue warmth, and mastered and cut with care by Star Delta, UK.
