MR DAY - both sides

"toute ressemblance avec des situations réelles ou avec des personnes existantes ou ayant existé ne saurait être que fortuite."

VOILAAA et PAT KALLA ont décidé de s'engager dans la pédagogie hygiéniste à l'attention des adolescents à problèmes.

Le respect de soi étant un préalable indispensable à l'acceptabilité de l'individu au sein d'une société, VOILAAA se permet de donner des conseils avisés au petit François (personnage fictif, bien entendu), qui se voit socialement rejeté à cause de son hygiène discutable.

Si ce morceau peut aujourd'hui être utile à la société tout entière, alors, VOILAAA aura rempli sa mission....
Parlez en avec vos enfants et adolescents !

ETRE PROPRE, C'EST ETRE RESPECTABLE !! !

INFOS: Voilaaa is one of the many projects led and produced by Bruno “Patchworks” Hovart, who’s proven over the past 15 years, his place amongst the finest producers of groove music in all genres. This time exploring the wide spectrum of the African and Tropical Disco scene, he received a massive international support for Voilaaa’s first album, On te l’avait dit (2015). Following to that success and pursuing the same direction Voilaaa’s now presenting its 2nd efforts, Des Promesses. The 13 tracks of the album are again up to expectations, and Voilaaa has not finished feeding international dancefloors with heavy Afro-Disco music.

VOILAAA - POUR LA VIE - (from the LP "Des Promesses")

James Stewart (Voilaaa Sound System) & Amadou & Mariam present : the 'Bofou Safou' mixtape.
Afro / Disco / Funk : a 30 years Odissey.

« Bofou Safou » est le nom donné en bambara (la langue nationale du Mali) aux garçons nonchalants qui préfèrent danser que travailler. Un grand mix conçu en forme de voyage autour de trente ans d’afro-disco et confié à James Stewart, DJ spécialisé dans les musiques africaines, résident au Sucre de Lyon, co-organisateur des soirées Black Atlantic Club, mais surtout membre du Voilaaa Sound System.

Un Sound System à la manière de ceux de Nothing Hill Gate et construit autour de la personnalité hors-norme du lyonnais Bruno Hovart (aka Patchworks) qui depuis plus de quinze ans fait danser et vivre la world music. Notamment avec Voilaaa un projet pétillant qui revisite l’afro-disco des années 70 et qui a offert récemment au classique « Je pense à toi » d’Amadou & Mariam une relecture dancefloor absolument irrésistible.

Une mixtape qui parcourt trente années d’afro-dance où se télescopent figures incontournables et disques rares, les années 2010 comme les 70, des expérimentations électroniques de William Oneyabor à la voix ensorcelante d’Oumou Sangaré, des percus en folie d’Eric Cosaque à l’ultra-funky Livy Ekemezie, du groovy Voilaaa au classique Mory Kanté, se permettant même de subtiles excursions vers la cumbia et le zouk. Sans perdre de vue évidemment Amadou et Mariam, fil conducteur de cette mixtape qui atteste en dansant que l’influence du duo sur le revival et l’engouement actuel autour des musiques africaines, et surtout de l’afro-disco-funk, n’est plus à prouver. Eux qui furent parmi les premiers à déchiffrer de nouveaux territoires pour les musiques africaines et à se frotter aux mélanges les plus pop et électroniques.

James Stewart (Voilaaa Sound System) & Amadou & Mariam present : the 'Bofou Safou' mixtape

first album by JOAO SELVA 

APRIL 2017 Favorite Recordings

Produced by PATCHWORKS

http://www.favoriterec.com/2017/04/joao-selva-natureza-lp/

Favorite Recordings proudly presents Natureza, first album of Joao Selva. The story of Natureza is made of the meeting between two passionate artists who are Jonathan « Matuto » Da Silva and Bruno « Patchworks » Hovart.
Born and raised in Ipanema and son of a pastor, Jonathan Da Silva grew up in a community of ex-prisoners and converted artists. He made his first guitar notes before his 10th birthday, under the watchful eye of Wanda Sa (muse of the bossa nova), and influenced by a father who in addition to his work, was also a true music lover with a collection, where black music, rock and classical meet. From the age of 18, Jonathan began a life of entertainer, traveling the world to offer shows for disadvantaged children and intensively practicing the Brazilian traditional music arts (Capoeira Angola, Maracatu, Samba de Roda, Coco de Roda…). It was later in France and in Lyon that he put down his instruments. There he formed the trio Forro de Rebeca in 2008, touring the all country and winning many praise in media. The trio recently joined forces with American producer Maga Bo on the project Sociedade Recreativa, whose album was released in 2016 on The Jarring Effects label.

Bruno Hovart is a recognized producer, multi-instrumentalist, and remixer. After passing through Angers, Birmingham and London, he’s based in Lyon since 2001. Bassist and guitarist for various bands, he switched to production in the mid-90s. Passionate about music and tireless creator, Bruno has practiced in almost every imaginable style, when it comes to groove music, collecting many aliases and projects for more than 10 years: Patchworks, Voilaaa, Uptown Funk Empire, Mr President, Taggy Matcher, Mr. Day, Hawa, John Milk, Lightnin 3, The Dynamics or Metropolitan Jazz Affair … Nothing resists and escapes his talent and production skills. Thus, when he discovered and met Jonathan and his music, Bruno saw an immediate opportunity to broaden the spectrum of his discography a little more, by looking at Brazil.
Beyond its traditional heritage, Brazil has always been a land of extremely varied music, influenced by the international scene. Soul, Jazz and American Pop did inspire many local stars such as Chico Buarque, Carlos Jobim, Gilberto Gil, Tom Zé, or Erasmo Carlos. Both fervent lovers of this movement and these names, it’s with the idea to pay them a faithful tribute, that Jonathan and Bruno began the Joao Selva adventure. Together they gave birth to Natureza and embark us for a trip into the heart of the Tropicalist Pop influences of Jorge Ben and Caetano Veloso, the intoxicating Funk of Tim Maia, and the social poetry of Vinicius de Moraes.
