DAY ZERO

Countdown to Zero

This mix was created when Damian and Martin joined forces in a rare musically alternative back to back session when they met up in Tulum  after having played The Day of Dead in different cities around Mexico. 

We hope you enjoy the first 90 minutes of this session as we count down the days until these two forces of nature collide again for DAY ZERO at the magical pyramid site Chanolandia outside Playa Del Carmen on the 11th of January 2014

DAY ZERO - Francesca Lombardo - Countdown to Zero

DAY ZERO

Countdown to Zero

Thievery Corporation have grown very strong roots in the Rivera Maya over the years, but have never had a chance to play a liveshow in the area. DAY ZERO is proud to be presenting the first live show in Playa del Carmen with Thievery Corporation.   

"This is a mix of some of my favorite tripped out, orchestral, brazilian/latin, and cinematic music from the past, way before the current electronic music explosion. There’s many beautiful gems from all corners of the globe, these are the kinds of sounds that inspired Eric and myself when we started Thievery Corporation.  I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed making this mix. We look forward to seeing you in Mexico celebrating our galactic journey;) at Day Zero! 

Ahau,"   -   Rob Garza - Thievery Corporation

DAY ZERO - Thievery Corporation (Rob Garza) - Countdown to Zero

This week’s Source to Cycle podcast comes from a British DJ and producer who has made a huge impression on the music scene since his involvement since the early 1990s.  Starting out in London, working for the Freetown label, and DJing both in clubs and on pirate radio, Luke Solomon quickly found himself at the centre of London’s resurgent house scene, alongside the late, great Kenny Hawkes.  Promoting the now legendary Space night at the capital’s Bar Rhumba, Luke hooked up with Chicago DJ Derrick Carter, and the kindered spirits launched the Classic Music Company in 1995.  The label has since gone on to release music from the likes of Tiefschwarz, Isolee, DJ Sneak, Herbert, Gemini, Roy Davis Jnr and countless others.

Luke also makes up one half of Freaks, on his other label Music For Freaks, as well as solo projects on Rekids, Little Creatures and Fullbar, still as busy as he always has been.  Forthcoming releases from Luke include the mix compilation 'Unfinsihed Business Vol 1' on Classic, singles for Local Talk and Toytonics, and a new Freaks album for Rebirth.

Clash DJ Mix - Nightmares On Wax

The collaboration between a rapper/beatboxer/singer-songwriter from Syracuse, NY and an electrifying African kora sensation from Guinea pushes genre boundaries and earns raves across Europe.

"A gloriously accessible collision of styles. It's an unlikely collaboration that works, magnificently." – The Guardian (UK)

"A boundary-trampling high-octane hybrid in which the lightning fast electrified licks of Kouyate are matched by the explosive energy of Driscoll's rapid fire rhyming." – Songlines (UK)

The well-worn and often overblown expression "music is a common language" has never been more apropos in the case of Joe Driscoll & Sekou Kouyate. US-born, England-based Driscoll speaks no French and Kouyate, who hails from the West African country of Guinea, little English. When they were brought together at the Nuit Metis (Mixed Night) festival in Marseille, France in 2010 and given a week to produce a concert, music was the only way they could communicate.

It turns out, they had a lot to "talk" about, and their first meeting sparked a collaboration that led to the formation of a band, the recording of an album, over 120 concert dates across Europe and rave reviews. Driscoll contributes the rapping, looping, beatboxing and songwriting talents he developed growing up in Syracuse, New York and during his own successful recording career. Kouyate, already a phenomenon in African music circles, has blown minds and ears with his hypersonic electrified riffs on the kora, bringing the exalted West African harp into the 21st Century with use of distortion peddles, effects and previously-unimagined technical prowess. Together, Driscoll and Kouyate blend hip-hop, spoken word, funk, and soulful, accessible rock with Afrobeat, reggae and irrepressible African grooves.

On February 18th, Cumbancha Discovery will introduce the world to Joe Driscoll & Sekou Kouyate's debut album Faya, which has already earned praise from tastemakers and devoted fans across Europe where they have performed in many of the continent's top festivals and venues. Faya reached the number 2 spot on the prestigious World Music Charts Europe, a survey of top international music DJs across the continent. Their album earned Joe & Sekou a nomination for Best Cross-Cultural Collaboration from Songlines, the UKs definitive global music magazine. The Cumbancha Discovery release of Faya includes a bonus remix of the album's title track by UK DJ collective Gentleman's Dub Club.

Sekou Kouyate was raised in a respected and accomplished musical family in Conakry, Guinea. Trained in the ancient traditions of his instrument, it is his ability to transcend and build upon those traditions that has set him apart. In France, he is known as the 'Jimi Hendrix of the kora' because of his unique style of playing with various effects, in a variety of genres, and with an extreme intensity. Kouyate has toured the world over as a member of the Ba Cissoko band, comprised of his cousin and brothers.

Joe Driscoll, whom Cee-Lo Green labelled "the gangsta with an iron lung," has been touring steadily for years, spreading his unique fusion of folk and hip-hop. The modern day take on the one man band, he uses live looping to create soundscapes full of beatbox, guitar, harmonica, percussion, harmonica, and just about anything else he can make use of. Now living in Bristol, England, Driscoll has performed his ground breaking solo show at the famed Glastonbury Festival, Electric Picnic in Ireland, and hundreds of major stages worldwide.

By teaming up, Driscoll and Kouyate have created a sum that exceeds even the large whole of its individual parts. According to Driscoll, "We've been raised in very different cultures in so many ways, but we share a lot of the same interests musically. Sekou was raised in the African rhythm and traditions, yet has always had a passion for reggae, hip-hop. I'm kind of the other way around. At the heart of it, we both just make the noises we love; we listen to each other, and try to flow in harmony. I think we just bounced off each other in so many ways: rhythmically, melodically, with craftsmanship. Through this, we found we had a language between us and that philosophically we were on a lot of the same pages as well."

The songs on Faya address burning social issues, commenting on poverty, borders, immigration and inequality. According to Driscoll, " We wrote about things that we knew and experienced, things that were important to us. We've both travelled the world extensively, so dealing with these issues was a very important part of the experience. We had things we wanted to say about them. The message is the seed. Some people just enjoy the fruit, but we try to spread the seeds with a positive vibe." Kouyate sings in French and his native Susu language and Driscoll expounds in lightning fast bursts of cunningly crafted English.

"One day in Africa, there will be no borders," declares Kouyate in French at the beginning of the album's opening track "Tanama", establishing a consistent theme about the fallacy of the imaginary lines that separate the people of the world. On the second song "Passport," Driscoll responds to Kouyate's chorus "Music is my passport," by singing "Because its only you, you see / Who has made a boundary." The scorching third track "Faya", a tribute to fire in its literal and metaphorical sense, highlights Sekou's kora wizardry, Driscolls vocal dexterity and the unstoppable grooves they create together. It’s a remarkable first third of an accomplished debut album, and the balance of the album is equally compelling.

With plans already in the works to record a follow-up album, Joe Driscoll and Sekou Kouyate have discovered that music speaks louder than words.

The Cumbancha Discovery series is an innovative approach to artist development designed to give up-and-coming talents a platform for bringing their music to wider audiences. Previous Cumbancha Discovery artists have included African guitar wizard Bombino and Brazilian singer Luísa Maita, both of whom are now veritable global music superstars.

Joe Driscoll & Sekou Kouyate "Faya (Super Dub)"

Úrsula Hilaria Celia Caridad Cruz Alfonso,1 conocida por su nombre artístico como Celia Cruz (La Habana, Cuba, 21 de octubre de 1925 – Fort Lee, Nueva Jersey, Estados Unidos, 16 de julio de 2003), fue una exitosa cantante cubana de son montuno, guaracha y salsa. Celia Cruz desarrolló su carrera en Cuba y Estados Unidos.

Celia Caridad Cruz Alfonso nació en el barrio de Santos Suárez de La Habana 21 de octubre de 1925, si bien algunas fuentes señalan su nacimiento cuatro años antes, un dato de difícil comprobación, dada la persistente negativa de la estrella a confesar su edad. Segunda hija de un fogonero de los ferrocarriles, Simón Cruz, y del ama de casa Catalina Alfonso Ramos, Celia Cruz compartió su infancia con sus tres hermanos -Dolores, Gladys y Bárbaro- y numerosos primos,
Antes de ingresar en la orquesta Sonora Matancera, Celia Cruz participó en un espectáculo musical y comedia titulado «La corte suprema del arte» donde compartió escena con cantantes destacados de la época como Aurora Linchetti. Poco tiempo después participó en la Radio Cadena Suaritos, junto a una agrupación que interpretaba coros yorubas y ritmos de batá, logrando por esa época su primera grabación junto al cantante Obdulio Morales. Los temas que grabó en ese momento serían incorporados más tarde a una de las primeras compilaciones de su trabajo en formato de Larga Duración. En 1948, Roderico Rodney Neyra fundó el grupo de bailarinas Las Mulatas de Fuego y Celia fue contratada junto a este grupo como cantante, alcanzando un gran éxito.

Existía un programa radial llamado "Cascabeles Candado" y cuya orquesta exclusiva era la Sonora Matancera. Un buen día, Celia luego de la entrevista con Don Rogelio fue a Radio Progreso donde ensayaban de lunes a sábado de 9AM a 12PM, con el primero que se encontró en el estudio fue con el que sería su futuro esposo: Pedro Knight que era el segundo trompetista de la Sonora. Habiendo llegado todos los integrantes ensayaron, pero no sonaba nada bien, Celia como tenía sus arreglos que no coincidían con el número de integrantes de la Sonora, se los entregó a Severino Ramos para que los adecuase, y que la llamarían para cuando estuvieran listos los mismos. Debutó con la agrupación el 3 de agosto de 1950. Inicialmente no fue acogida por el público, mandando cartas al director y a la Radio para que fuese cambiada, no logrando su objetivo. Rogelio Martínez, teniendo fe en ella fue a su casa discográfica SEECO Records, cuyo director y gerente era Sidney Siegel. Allí hubo otra oposición ya que el criterio de Mr. Siegel, como le llamaban, era que las mujeres no vendían discos y no podían atreverse a cometer semejante error, pero aun así Rogelio, convenció al dueño retándolo y es así que grabó el 15 de diciembre de 1950 en formato 78 rpm. Sus dos primeras canciones fueron:

Firmó Celia a largo plazo con la casa discográfica de Masucci VAYA (Subsidiaria de Fania). Es así que lanza su álbum "Celia & Johnny en 1974 con Johnny Pacheco, que obtuvo el disco de oro y Celia pronto se unió a la orquesta Fania All Stars, que era una combinación de los músicos de cada orquesta que tocaba para el sello musical Fania. Con la Fania All Stars (Estrellas de Fania), Celia tuvo la oportunidad de visitar el Reino Unido, Francia y Zaire. Siguieron las grabaciones con Johnny Pacheco. En 1977, graba su primer disco con el respaldo del trombonista y orquestador de salsa Willie Colón, fusión que se repetiría en 1981 y en 1987.

En 1975, participa en el documental titulado Salsa, de Leon Gast, junto a figuras como Willie Colon y la diva mexicana Dolores del Río.5

La tarde del 16 de julio de 2003, falleció en su casa de Fort Lee (Nueva Jersey) a la edad de 78 años

Su Majestad Celia Cruz, "La Reina de la Salsa" "la Guarachera de Cuba"; Realmente comparto lo que dijo "Gabriel Garcia Marquez" cuando murio Celia dijo: "Le doy Gracias a Dios en haber vivido, escuchado y Gozado la música de esta Reina".
