The Brooklyn Gypsies are a group of NYC based musicians/ producers whose creative influences draw from the constant shifting of an ever changing urban sociopolitical landscape while retaining their unique cultural backgrounds through what has come to be recognized as “Gypsy” music.

Originating from Spain, Japan, Russia, Italy & U.S.A. BK Gypsies truly represents Brooklyn’s diverse ethnic heritage and style.  The gypsies came to be in 2012 within Williamsburg Brooklyn’s  Studio BPM music scene.   Members include: Carmen Estevez, Takuya Nakamura, Tina Kristina, Brandon Lewis, Troy "Mobius" Simms & Zeb "The Spy From Cairo".  After a number of collaborative projects between the artist were explored the opportunity to form a band that incorporated elements from each project arose. The groups sound is an infusion of Mediterranean, North African, Arabic Themes with Electronic, Dancehall and Dub Reggae. The term "Gypsy" was incorporated into the band name representing the nomadic spirit & way of life within this musical journey.

Brooklyn Gypsies - Kunta Baba

artist: BIXIGA 70
album: III
order here: https://glitterbeat.bandcamp.com/album/iii

Five years after their inception, the Sao Paulo based Brazilian group Bixiga 70 continues to travel musically forward, only to find themselves more and more at home. 

The band’s aptly named third album, “III”, is a luminescent and energized admixture of Atlantic cultures. The album’s hyper-contemporary dialogue journeys between the sounds and rhythms of Brazil and Africa, and between the band’s ten musicians and their distinctive musical identities.  Their collective influences include jazz, funk and Afro-Brazilian music, and stretch further afield into dub and reggae, electronics, cumbia and carimbó, ethio-jazz and samba.

Bixiga 70’s “III” is a breathtaking rhythmic storm where inspired solos, harmony and dynamics, beats and improvisation all mesh together in vital and unpredictable ways. Spanning between a joyous danceability, a sharp sense of humor and committed political reflections, the life-blood of this ten-piece unit is instrumental music, but it is an instrumental music that speaks profoundly.

Self-produced by the band in their own studio in Sao Paulo (and mixed by Victor Rice) all the compositions on “III” are written and arranged by the entire Bixiga 70 collective. There are no liner note details: the process of creation is decentralized and acknowledges the importance of each musician in the room. The album was recorded live in the studio to further assure the depth of this collaborative spirit and to accentuate the intensity of the band’s sonic experiments.

Following the global attention garnered by their previous album 2014’s “Ocupai” (Mais um Discos), Bixiga 70 headed out into the world. Their musical travels to Europe, the USA and Morocco, as well as the many varied regions of Brazil (including the streets of Bixiga) have all left a deep mark on the sounds and visions of the new album

Throughout the nine tracks found on “III”, styles merge and original syncretisms come to life. The album shape shifts contemporary afro-funk, Moroccan cumbia, spiritual jazz, adapted afro-brazilian chants, Cuban blaxploitation, sounds from São Paulo’s Black Rio movement, Arabian dub, Malinké drumming, Angolan guitar music and traditional bamboo fife bands.

There is no doubt that Bixiga 70 is one of the guiding voices of Brazil’s contemporary instrumental music scene and their new album “III” clearly demonstrates why. 

They are a band that deftly searches for untracked and thrilling musical spaces to occupy. 

And most importantly, they are a band that succeeds in finding them.

"Hello Punks..!
While playing around with my loopstation with a very old and cracky Glenn Miller record, thought that this could do a nice teaser! Something that could open a dj set with a friendly mood! just two or three loops used, some noise from the record but still audible! any ideas to build it up more are welcomed!"
cheers!!

Fokus - Tequila Shot

La chanson, écrite en lingala (une des langues du Congo/Brazzaville), est initialement un hommage aux femmes congolaises victimes des dernières guerres civiles qui ont ravagé le pays. C'est l'appel de détresse d'une femme, qui porte la vie, sème ses fruits, et qui pourtant, reçoit en retour de l'Amour quelle donne, une place aux premiers rangs de l'horreur dans les conflits armés. Leurs bourreaux ont oublié qu'elles pourraient être leurs soeurs, leurs filles, leurs amies... Après la guerre, les survivantes jouent un rôle crucial dans la reconstruction de la société. Certaines élèvent avec un amour inconditionnel leurs enfants nés du viol. Ce sont aussi les premières à faire preuve d'une grande tolérance, à être les gardiennes de la paix, dans un esprit de pardon, indispensable pour que l'Histoire ne se répète pas. C'est cette puissance de transformation, cette source intarissable d'Amour que ces femmes ont pu trouver en elles qui a inspiré cette chanson.
