Papé Nziengui et son Groupe: modernized traditional music from Gabon (1989)
Pre orer LP/CD/Tape/Digital https://linktr.ee/PapeNziengui

Kadi Yombo, published in 1989, is the most successful album in the quest for a fusion between tradition and modernity in Bwiti harp music of the Tsogho people of Gabon. Combining beating rattles with a layer of synthesizers, Papé Nziengui blends in a contrapuntal dialogue characteristic of harp playing: male song in appeal and female choir in response, male voice of the musical arc and rhythms of female worship. But above all it’s Tsogho ritual music and modern studio orchestration. The result is an initiatory itinerary of 10 musical pieces which are all milestones likely to be simultaneously listened to, danced, meditated on, and soon acclaimed. In the years since, Nziengui has traveled he world from Lagos to Paris, from Tokyo to Cordoba, from Brussels to Mexico City to become a true icon, the emblem of Gabonese music.   
Like Bob Dylan, "electrifying" folk and Bob Marley mixing rock with reggae, some purists have criticized Nziengui for having distorted the music of harp by imposing a cross with modern instruments. They even went so far as to claim that Nziengui was just an average harpist covering his shortcomings with stunts that were only good for impressing neophytes; like playing a harp placed upside down behind his back or playing two or three harps simultaneously. Sincere convictions or venomous defamations, in any case, Nziengui never gave in to such attacks, imposing himself on the contrary to pay homage to the elders (Yves Mouenga, Jean Honoré Miabé, Vickoss Ekondo) while instructing the maximum of young people. He is thus the promoter of many young talents, the most prominent of which is certainly his nephew Jean Pierre Mingongué.
In a conservative society where the sacred is confused with secrecy, exposing the mysteries of Bwiti in broad daylight can be punished by exclusion or even execution.
Papé Nziengui has always claimed that he faces such risks because he never felt enslaved to a community that governs his life, that regulates his conduct, that has a right of censorship over his activities. Like Ravi Shankar, the famous sitarist, Papé Nziengui is a man of rupture but also of openness, a transmitter of culture. As proof, he has established himself in Libreville, Gabon’s capital, as the main harpist for sessions and concerts, accompanying the greatest national artists (Akendengué, Rompavè, Annie-Flore Batchiellilys, Les Champs sur la Lowé, etc.) as well as foreign artists (Papa Wemba, Manu Dibango, Kassav', Toups Bebey, etc.). In 1988, he was the first harpist to release an album in the form of a cassette produced by the French Cultural Center (Papé Nziengui, Chants et Musiques Tsogho). At the same time, he created his own group (Bovenga), combining traditional music instruments (musical bow, drums, various percussion instruments, etc.) in the framework of a true national orchestra, which gave the first concert and the first tours of a traditional music that was both modern and dynamic, thus "democratizing" the harp, to the dismay of certain purists.
On the other hand, in modern music, dominated by the logic of profit or even commercialism, artistic creation must often be adjusted for a specific audience based on reason rather than heart. But instead of allowing himself to be distorted, Papé Nziengui has always tried to produce music that is not a caricature, worthy in its expression as in its content, of the sacredness and transcendence of the music of the Origins. This is what makes Nziengui—not only the musician, but the man—someone whose age hasn’t altered any of his freshness or authenticity.

Mary Anne Hobbs - Breezeblock Dubstep Warz - BBC Radio 1 - 10.01.2006

Here with mix #7 for Outlook 2014, we are pleased to deliver this special mix, recorded by My Nu Leng. The Bristol based duo, James Irving and Tommy Jackson have a hard-to-categorise sound, drawing on many varied influences without kowtowing to one in particular. Whilst traversing the whole spectrum between pitch shifted vocals and bass heavy rumbles, their sound is always deep and on point with the vibe. 
With further support coming from Radio 1, 1Xtra, Rinse FM, KissFM and tastemakers including Mistajam, Zane Lowe, Rob Da Bank, Cameo and more, My Nu Leng build on their crash into the public consciousness with a mix of hollow styled synths and infectious bass lines.

I imagine if the beating sun and condensation of the rain was not a thing, a majority of music studios would be out in the open. But, such is the case, the elements that keep musicians indoors and slaves to the seasons. For an East Coaster like Mike Swells, there are brutal winter happenings that make maximizing your time outdoors even more a feverish need. You see, Mike Swells is a summery guy, he knows to take stock as the rays start to hide. Un-phased by seasonal compression, Mike prepares for fall by bulk-uploading memories of another accomplished sweaty orbit, enough gathered to share-folder with followers to remind them of the warmth. Like a good musical friend, not all his recants will be cheery but certainly non-judgemental. Maybe that is why this mix feels so much like a season closer set... a flip through a freshly developed photo stack, so new, the double copies not yet delved out. Swells, the dj that can remind you: "nothing comes to an end as long as you can hold onto the feeling of it." The feeling of laying into a buddies chest as you watch golden colors crest out of nightfall, kings of the rave, holding all of sleeps calls until Monday. The feeling of the sun tattooing another freckle into your skin-map just to the right of your vogueing scar and around the corner from your bin-moving bruise. The flashback to the pebbles rustling under your car tires, a grumbling of sorts, like the campout site saying to you "Hey city slicker, welcome home, the trees almost forgot what you looked like." So, if you are a sucker for the dog days, as you ride these 70 mins of daylight savings, let them remind you of everything that made this one hotter than the last. When the blues start setting in, Mike and his mix will be sitting on this page all winter for that blast of vitamin D.
