Welcome to the Word Is Love Soul & Funk Show where this time we will be looking at the music of Soul Train. 

In the mix we will explore tracks by Chic, James Brown and Larry Levan plus a number of artists who appeared on the Soul Train.

Expect funky beats and bass lines with a myriad of soulful vocals, sultry saxaphones, sexy flutes, sleazy synths and tight percussion.

Soul Train was an American music variety television show, the first to prominently feature African American musical acts and dancers. Broadcast nationally from 1971 to 2006, it was one of the longest-running syndicated programs in American television history.

Soul Train was the brainchild of Chicago radio announcer Don Cornelius. It initially aired in 1970 on Chicago television station WCIU-TV. The show was produced in hour-long segments five afternoons a week and became a local television hit. It duplicated the environment of a dance club and featured a variety of noted musical performers as well as both professional and amateur dancers.

Soon Soul Train drew the interest of George Johnson, founder and president of Johnson Products Company (a black-owned hair-product manufacturer), whose support enabled the program to move into national syndication in 1971. The success of Soul Train reflected the rise and popularity of soul music and funk artists on recordings and radio programs.

By presenting an image of black culture as upbeat, exciting, and vibrant, Soul Train attracted many viewers of other ethnicities and contributed to the growing prestige of African Americans and black culture in mainstream America. Cornelius maintained control of the Soul Train brand until his death and produced several successful annual specials, including the ongoing Soul Train Music Awards.

This mix explores the sound of Soul Train throughout the 70's and 80's.

Get on that Soul Train and have a great ride choo choo!

(Set-list détaillée ci-dessous)

La musique "nourrit le monde" nous assure le Béninois Gnonnas Pedro, mais le monde nourrit-il les musicien.nes ? Face au piratage de masse, au déclin du live et aux miettes du streaming, les musicien.nes africain.es et antillais.es dépendent comme ailleurs des subsides étatiques et des sponsors — marques et mécènes —  pour tirer profit de leurs talents. Et cela avant même une pandémie qui a renvoyé tout le monde chez soi et précarisé davantage les artistes subissant le poids de structures défaillantes.

Si beaucoup ne gagnent pas assez pour subvenir à leurs besoins, ils se regroupent cependant au sein d'une communauté dans laquelle ils trouvent compréhension et inspiration: "Partout où j’ai trouvé musique, partout j’ai trouvé des frères" (Bumba Massa). Ces mêmes frères peuvent toutefois vite devenir des envieux colportant des ragots pour détruire des succès jalousés ("Ils prient pour que tu tombes", Serge Beynaud).

Faisant parfois face à l’incompréhension du cercle familial (la musique, "c’est pour les vauriens", Fitini ; "Tu ne deviendras rien dans la musique", Les Leaders), à l'ingratitude du public, aux harassements des autorités et aux critiques de la presse, leurs vocations résistent aux tempêtes. Pour le grand bien de la société car en effet, "le musicien aussi c’est un grand travailleur" (Bazaré) qui peut jouer un rôle essentiel de fusible ("Il vit la peine de tout le monde", Fati Mariko) et parfois même de "pauvre intellectuel" martyr quand il se fait "emprisonner à ta place" (Fati Mariko). Lorsqu'il parvient à s'exporter à l'étranger, on attend alors de lui qu'il soit "ambassadeur de son pays" (Star Feminine Band).

Cette sélection s'efforce de rapporter les paroles de chanteurs et chanteuses francophones d'Afrique et des Antilles qui parlent de leurs vécus de musicien.nes de façon honnête. Mais alors... "vivent-ils de leur art ?" Arrêtons de leur demander, c'est à nous mélomanes avec nos deniers de nous en assurer !

🎶 🎶 🎶

This mix assembles songs from musicians who sing/speak — mostly in French but also in Guadeloupean creole or lingala — about the many hardships of a musician’s life: Ivoirian Zouglou, Congolese Rumba, Kompa/Kadans from French Antilles. Let’s listen in and skip the usual irritating inquiry: "But do you manage to make a living from your art?" ("Mais alors, vous en vivez ?"), since the answer is clear anyway: probably not, which is why music-lovers have their part to play to ensure they get their fair due.
