Tous les mois, Musical Echoes vous propose deux sélections 100% vinyles : l’une roots/digital et l’autre reggae/dub/stepper, plus actuelle. Ce mois-ci, c’est le sélecteur Kabba Stamina qui s'y colle! Avec brio et un paquet de titres bien roots, voire antérieurs aux années 1970. Le tout suinte les mythiques studios de Kingston JA par toutes les notes, même les plus obscures...
Kabba aime la musique roots de toute les époques même s'il a une préférence pour les années 70' en Jamaïque, comme en témoigne sa sélection. Vivant en Savoie depuis quelques années, le selecta monte actuellement un sound system qui sera bientôt opérationnel pour de futures sessions pon the mountain ! Play it roots & culture !

Après une rencontre avec Delroy Melody qui lui demande de ressortir son anthem "Ease Up The Pressure", il décide de lancer son label, Jamwax, fin 2013. Ce dernier donne une seconde chance à certains artistes oubliés ou ressort des morceaux très rares, mais aussi des nouveautés. Aux platines pour la sélection de décembre, Joe nous offre ici 30 titres des années 60, 70 et 80 avec des raretés ou classiques ska, rocksteady, roots et digital. Une avalanche de tunes splendides à pleurer qui nous rappellent que le reggae de ces années-là reste à ce jour, la plus belle musique jamais conçue. Run it Joe Jamwax !

Musical Echoes roots selection #26 (décembre 2016 / by Joe Jamwax)

Available on vinyl / CD / digital: https://bbemusic.lnk.to/SoulFuelled
Ernesto Chahoud’s ‘Taitu’ is a collection of soul-fuelled stompers straight from the dancefloors of 1970s Addis Ababa. A breathless journey through the unique Ethio sound that bands were forging at the time, the 24-track compilation is the result of the Lebanese DJ and crate digger’s decadelong love affair with the ‘golden age’ of Ethiopian music.

Among the musical gems featured are 7”s by some of the heavyweights of the scene including the godfather of Ethio jazz Mulatu Astatke and Alemayehu Eshete, the vocalist dubbed the ‘Ethiopian Elvis’, alongside tracks by more obscure artists such as Merawi Yohannis and Birkineh Wurga.

For ‘Taitu’, Chahoud has selected 24 of his essential Ethio-Soul 7”s, that never leave his DJ box, and together they capture this opportune moment in Ethiopian music history that saw bands experiment with an armful of influences: gliding through R&B, rock & roll, jazz, funk, soul and boogaloo. What came out was a distinctly Ethiopian interpretation: pentatonic scales, horn-driven melodies and soul-shattering vocals sung in Amharic.
The songs are difficult to box in to one genre but they share a simplicity and rawness, added to by their lo-fi quality – with many recordings made in rudimentary studios with only a couple of mics for the entire band.
From the R&B stomper ‘Honey Baby’ by Alemayehu Eshete to Astatke’s swaggering ethnic-jazz instrumental ‘Emnete’ and the bluesy melancholic vocals of Hirut Bekele on ‘Ewnetegna Feker’, ‘Taitu’ is a window in on the exciting records being made in Ethiopia in the 1970s.

The 86 and 88 Veseli Romi album are to my knowledge, some of the earliest Romani Synth album. It blends Synth and Drum machine sounds with Derbuka, clarinet, electric guitare and bass. It has though a very unique sound. 
     In most of the track, they most probably played the Casio CZ 101, used by many Balkan early Synth player, before the making of oriental Synth (Korg, Ketron...), i guess because of the wheel which enable the "vocal effect" and approach of the quarter tone and obviously the small size to carry it anywhere and the cheap price.

Tous les mois, Musical Echoes vous propose deux sélections 100% vinyles : l’une roots/digital et l’autre reggae/dub/stepper, plus actuelle. Ce mois-ci, et quatre ans après les deux premières sélections lancées en septembre 2014, c’est Tisto, le selecta du Musically Mad sound system qui assure le mix! 
Actif depuis 8 ans, ce sound promeut le reggae en organisant des soirées autour de Nantes comme les sessions Tunnel Dub, Family Things ou encore Dub Congress... Le collectif s'inscrit dans la tradition des sound system UK, en utilisant une seule platine et des effets du type dub siren, delay et echo. Son style est résolument roots & culture, sa musique consciente et porteuse d'un message simple : love & unity, comme en témoigne cette sélection magistrale dédiée aux oldies.

Musical Echoes roots selection #45 (septembre 2018 / by selecta Tisto, Musically Mad)

Matasuna Records is delighted to present another highlight with its new release: the first ever official reissue of the 7inch "Viajecito/Too Late" by Peruvian band "Black Sugar". Originally released in 1971, the single is one of the most in demand Latin American 45s. So it isn't surprising that nowadays 7inches in good condition are extremly rare and only available for several hundred dollars.
Both tracks were completely remastered in Lima (Peru) and now sound better than ever!

In 1970 Black Sugar emerged from the band "Los Far-Fen", which was founded 1969 by guitarist Victor "Coco" Salazar and keyboardist Miguel "Chino" Figueroa. The new musical director of the label Sono Radio, Jamie Delgado, signed them in 1970 and gave the band its name "Black Sugar". He also helped them to record & release their first self-titled LP in 1971. Black Sugar was formed by some of Peru's best young musicians of their day and achieved great success in South America.

Viajecito opens the single and surprises with his varied composition: guitar riffs meet strange vocal/animal sounds and create a psychedelic atmosphere. With introduction of the bassline, the piano and the rhythm section, the track moves away from this mood. When the horns start to play and the vocals appear, the track gets another turn and takes the listener on "a little journey". Excellent Latin Jazz track that makes you want more!

Too Late is one of the biggest tunes of the Northern Soul scene and also one of the most sought after vinyl. Listening to it reveals why: the piano and the brass create an extremely intoxicating melody - perfectly accompanied by a great rhythm combo, which is pushed further and further by the singer. For sure one of the best Latinsoul songs and a bomb for every dancefloor!
