Love Is Divine

Ūmboma 

Miss Alicia (she/her) & Omar Ahmad (he/him)

Ūmboma is a global-forward sound experience led by Miss Alicia and Omar Ahmad. Ūmboma blends of Afro, Arab, and Latin contemporary rhythms and energies that run from meditative & psychedelic, to frenetic and pulsing. Omar imbues live world drums into our sets to bridge the connection between the DJ booth and the audience, and they often invite attendees to play instruments they've brought along with with. The word Ūmboma is a combination of Swahili, Arabic, and Spanish words that translates to “a congregation of Freedom and Dance”. Ultimately they are seeking to cross borders and connect cultures (and spirits) through sound.

Notes on the Mix ///

"This mix is from our all night set from the Bunker back in July. We started that night with some mid tempo psychedelic rhythmic sounds then ramped up into a raucous peak that stayed high energy until the very end. This mix starts right when we were getting into peak time. In all of our sets we bounce off each other song by song in a very co-creative kind way. The music is a dynamic blend of Afro/Arab/latin global club tracks- almost like a dialogue between the cultures. There are different languages, chanting, etc all with a very percussive overlay. By this point we were really locked into building the vibes (and temperature!) of the room. We hope this mix not only makes listeners dance, but feel more connected to people around the world."

XOXA BLEND 224 - Ūmboma

Chicago house pioneer Vince Lawrence and law professor Dr. Olufunmilayo Arewa unpack how record companies have undermined Black musicians—and what we can do to enact change.

This past week, Resident Advisor screened and distributed a new, award-winning documentary called Taking Back the Groove. It tells the story of Bronx-born disco legend Richie Weeks, whose song "Rock Your World" with Weeks & Co. climbed to #1 on the dance charts in the '80s.

Like many Black artists throughout American recording history, his talent was strip-mined to enrich corporate record labels. In the film, Weeks and Still Music label owner Jerome Derradji narrate the story of how they clawed back the rights to Weeks's tracks, as well as the ongoing battle he's had to wage to restore his legacy and ownership over his creative work.

This story is, sadly, perennial, especially for artists of colour and otherwise marginalised musicians who continue to be sidelined by major players in the music industry. In this RA Exchange, Vince Lawrence—a Chicago-based house producer and the original founder of Trax Records—speaks with Washington DC-based guest Dr. Funmi Arewa, a graduate of Harvard Law School and UC Berkeley, and a current professor at George Mason University, where she teaches business law in the creative industries.

The two engage in a fascinating discussion about the history of the recording industry and the exploitation of marginalised artists that runs through its fabric. How do we make it easier for artists to claim things that are rightfully theirs? What if we could create incentives to create fairness at the core of how record labels function? Listen to their thoughts on these questions in the full episode.
