After more than a year of quietness we were ready to have a new monthly installment of Nurture, but plans had to change given the new situation of Vietnam.
However we would like to present you a special edition with a beautiful recording from Useph.
This Moroccan talent based in Hanoi continues to surprise us with his constant delivery of electrifying DJ sets. This time he opens us the doors of his inner self, and shares with us a tale of his music influences. The wandering is nourished with ethnicity and modern sound scaping, a beautiful ride for the mind and spirit.

Electric Bazaar founder, Useph has been on a mission since he arrived in Vietnam. He’s pushed electronic sounds to the mountainous range of Sa Pa, to villa parties in the hills & private islands. Expect more events, productions, and sets from the charming 
young selector.

Mr Bongo Brazilian Favourites

Typesun, aka Luke Harney, is a Bristolian producer more well versed in music's avant-garde than might be expected from his break out single, The PL, a slice of minimal underground soul, that for all its echoes of Chet Baker's lonesome jazz still found its way onto Radio 1, becoming something of a hit for an artist who often treads more experimental ground. Typesun's work though comes from that Bristol tradition; trip hop, dub, and rave, which he attacks with an obvious appreciation for good-time sound-system soul that cuts through the city's sometimes sombre tone.

His latest single is the double A-side 'Icebergs/Water Song', out now on ltd. edition 10" vinyl and digital on Root Elevation Recordings. https://typesun.bandcamp.com/album/icebergs-water-song

Brazil 45, number 34 - http://www.mrbongo.com/products/luiz-carlos-vinhas-ye-me-le-golden-boys-berimbau

Another very firm Mr Bongo favourite, and always a contender for end/start of the night track. A true classic.

Opens with a distinctive vocal harmony/chant and claps before dropping into bossa piano, organ and drums, which calms for a moment before reaching the chorus… and then building more into a horn section, that plays until the end. Immense.

Taken from Vinhas’ now relatively expensive and very excellent ‘O Som Psicodelico’ LP from 1968.


B: Golden Boys - Berimbau

And again - yet another favourite. Awe inspiring arrangement, of the highest order.

Opens with what is very reminiscent of a Brazilian Western soundtrack, before soaring into vocals, strings and horns. And then THAT end section…! 

Golden Boys were a male vocal group, of brothers. ‘Berimbau’ is taken from their self-titled 1969 LP.

EP.16 BLF RADIO: Pierpaolo De Sanctis - Four Flies Favourites - Podcast #016

From the forthcoming self-titled album by Bugge Wesseltoft & Prins Thomas, out July 20th on Smalltown Supersound

Bugge Wesseltoft & Prins Thomas – Furuberget

The Cranes were one of Uganda’s most popular teenage bands in the 1970’s. Founded in 1965, they metamorphosed at the end of the 1970’s into the Afrigo Band which is still, up to today, the number one band in the country. What’s love and Joy, both written by singer and guitarist Tony Senkebejje, appeared in 1974 on the only Cranes’ LP ‘Top Ten Hits’.
When the album hit the record stores in Kampala, bad luck had befallen The Cranes. A month before the recording of the album their bass player Jessy Kasirivu was killed because of President Idi Amin’s amorous association with his girlfriend. Senkebejje, scared for his life, fled to Kenya, only returning to Uganda 15 years later. The song What’s love describes how confusing love can be to a young soul and is partly inspired by Kasirivu’s death. Joy is a love song for Senkebejje’s wife Rachel who followed him to Kenya and who has been singing lead and playing guitar with him in their Simba Sounds Band ever since. Both songs feature prominently in the documentary Bwana Jogoo: the ballad of Jessy Gitta (2019 – 70 min – UG/NL/FR) which investigates the death of Jessy Kasisirvu at the hands of Idi Amin‘s State Research agents. Bwana Jogoo, directed by Dutch filmmaker Michiel van Oosterhout, showcases many great 1970’s songs from Uganda while letting Uganda’s musicians of yesteryears recount fond memories of one of their own, Jessy Kasirivu. These are the folks that worked and socialized with Jessy and knew him better than most. Their accounts of the events that led to Jessy’s disappearance are riveting and haunting. It lays bare a hitherto unexplored subject and one deserving of serious interrogation and scholarship – the naked power of authoritarianism and sexual predation.
