EPISODE #493 (FOR A DAY LIKE TODAY)

DUNDUNBANZA - (TPS 048)
Selections by Souma Records

*******************************************************

In this 136-minute voyage, we canter around the Tropics to soak in a healthy dose of esoteric gyrations deeply rooted in canonical African rhythms.

 Dundunbanza is an “evil” Congolese spirit which has been defied for centuries by the followers of the Palo Monte religion that gained prominence in Cuba. And while “bad” spirits in African traditions are not always evil per se (an imperialist concept imposed through colonization and Christianity), they are in fact often seen as a metaphysical vessel for one’s intentions and worthiness. That being said, the song “Dundunbanza” (n° 13 in the mix) by Arsenio Rodriguez - one of the originators of Cuban Son Montuno – is in fact calling out a certain malevolent spiritual presence! If this spirit has been reincarnated today in the form of a severe acute respiratory syndrome known as SARS-CoV-2 to agonise our lives, then by the power of Arsenio’s mambo may this spirit twist and turn to his demise!

 While the tracks selected for this mix aren’t all necessarily related to African religions, they pay homage to the vibrant African heritage that they draw inspiration from. The spirit of the mix is that the power of joyful melancholy and minor scales over pure rhythmic hypnosis, can transcend a listener or dancer to a state of elation.

Non-stop vintage Latin and Tropical rarities from across the Atlantic and other (sub)tropical regions recorded from original LPs, 45s and old shellacs found by Fred from Souma records, as a guest mix for the Turning Point Sessions friends in Toronto.

To help you (re)discover the treasures of the golden age of Ethiopian music (1968-1975), we asked a number of DJs to dip into the Ethiopian vinyl catalogue to make a mix featuring their favourite tracks from the collection. For the first mix in this new series, we asked one of our favourite DJs and a loyal supporter of the label, Belgian Lefto early bird, to take to the decks.

L'envie #218 :: Tompkins Square Vol. 2

A DJ mixtape selection of the songs and styles that influenced the Western Transient recording. 

Western Transient Influences Mixtape

Die Revolution wird nicht im TV übertragen, behauptete einst Gil Scott-Heron. Und, Oh Boy, er konnte 1970 nicht wissen, dass das Internet alles auf den Kopf stellen wird. 2019 ist quasi überall Revolution- auf allen Kanälen und zu jeder Uhrzeit. Es gibt zum Thema Soundtracks und Filme, Blogs und Magazine und jede Menge Musik aus zig Jahrzehnten Popkultur, die sich mit dem Thema Rebellion und Revolution auseinandersetzen. Alex Barck von Jazzanova hat sich diesem Thema im vorliegenden Mix ausführlich gewidmet- und zeigt damit, dass er ein musikalischer “Hans Dampf in allen Gassen” ist. Wir wollen nicht zu viel verraten, vorab nur dies: Was für ein Tape!
