Kronos Fifty for the Future (Complete Repertoire)

While working on a documentary project in Addis Ababa, I was lucky enough to visit several natural sites in Ethiopia. This is a recording from Lake Langano, where many birds and other animals live. 

I was recording on the shore near the fishing village, which you can hear softly in the background. At that time, children were bathing and having fun.

March 2021. Recorded together with Lucia Nimcova.

KURIOS (composed by Raphaël Beau, Bob & Bill) brings a whole new sound to Cirque du Soleil with one of the most organic recordings the company has ever made. Imagine 1930s swing & jazz-era musicians hopping into a time machine to jam out their songs with DJs eager to manipulate traditional music.

Fodé Lassana Diabaté - Sunjata's Time: V. Bara kala ta

Union Cafe and Concert Program were released in 1994 and 1995 by Simon Jeffes, on his label Zopf Records. Simon himself saw them as the last part of the 'Octave' of Penguin Cafe Orchestra recordings.

As part of the ongoing curation of the Penguin cafe story, they were gently re-mastered by Simon's son Arthur Jeffes, and rereleased in 2011 along with 'Piano Music' a posthumous album of Simon's piano pieces.
