Released on May 11th, 2017 on @festivalnomade

Get 'Cara Sur' here: tinyurl.com/derrok-carasur

Cara Sur es el primer LP de Derrok lanzado bajo el alero de Nómade, este release propone un viaje musical completo desde el primer Track hasta el onceavo, con momentos de misterio que se revelan a lo largo del disco.

Sonidos de la naturaleza: la fuerza del trueno, la libertad de las Turcas que cantan desenvueltas, se funden de una manera sutil y orgánica con beats lentos propios del House. Un trabajo que destaca por su dinamismo y progresión, con dos tracks introductorios y tres tracks finales que dejan claro un mensaje de paz. Un mapa con la ruta hacia la tranquilidad del alma que solo puede darse en los bosques, en la vida silvestre, lejos de la urbe, de los semáforos silenciosos que dirigen un tránsito sin sentido.

Derrok construye un puente sonoro que vincula a quien escucha con las raíces de nuestra América indómita. Le da sonido a una caravana gitana y latina que avanza en busca del rescate de los ritualitos, que llenan el espíritu de viajeros de todo el globo, aportando a un cambio de mira, a un cambio de paradigma sonoro y social, menos competitivo y mas colaborativo.

Temas como “Recuerdos” con Vruno y “Dueños de la cima” con Rodrigo Gallardo, hablan del poder del trabajo en conjunto, de la fuerza que toma la música cuando es compartida. El sonido del charango acompañado de sintetizadores armónicos permite una gama de matices silvestres y vanguardistas, que te llevan directo a los bosques del sur.

Su música es una pócima dulce que se revuelve al ritmo aproximado de los 100bpm, invitándote a un baile que más parece una aventura por un sendero milenario. Te mueves como avanzando entre ramas, saltando troncos y esquivando telarañas, sin dejar huella, invitado por duendes y seres mitológicos australes. Su ritmo va dejando pausas para que respires y vuelvas con mas fuerza a moverte – tú - todo rama de Coigüe, que se balancea al compás de un temporal de viento que sopla desde la Cara Sur.

“Any goal must have a reason,
Any success is based on a reason, 
Any failure is based on a goal without a reason.”

These are the opening words, feverishly sung in Bambara, of the song “Kènia” on Rokia Traoré’s sixth album, Né So (Home). They are also the best way to encapsulate the Mali-born singer’s strength throughout her nearly 20-year musical journey. The decision to take up music is sometimes guided by a career plan, or a burning urge, or an attempt to gain some recognition, or even the desire to pass on a legacy. But Rokia Traoré’s path is of a different kind, rooted as it has been since she released her first record, Mouneïssa, in the force of will and the movements of her heart.

The fundamental question of choices and responsibilities has always been Traoré’s center of gravity. Before initiating any new project, she asks herself, “Why keep playing music, and how?” This time, she did so with unprecedented urgency. At the time, she found herself in private and public worlds colliding in quite a hazardous manner. 

Traoré had always been a traveler, but in 2009, she decided to move back to Mali. Three years later, she bore witness as her country’s civil war gained terrible momentum. “Experiencing life in a war-torn country was traumatic. I became aware of how naïve I had been without even knowing it,” she confesses. 

While she had left Bamako for a while and moved to Europe with her young son, she also experienced personal issues that threatened her status and legitimacy as a musician. “To make a long story short, being a female artist, especially an African living in Africa, makes you sound not credible as a mother,” she says. Besides, the music industry was facing a crisis, which only added to her distressing doubts, to the point of almost calling it quits, artistically speaking.

The art of picking yourself up and moving on is an implicit theme of Né So. “Everything was falling apart,” she says. “It’s never easy to go through tough times, but it is also what makes you grow, and understand why you cling to certain things and give up on some others. At some point, I realized that I was either going to make it, or just add my name to the long list of female artists who ended badly,” Traoré says. “When people write their biographies, they talk less about their music or talent than their personal rifts. I asked myself, ‘Do I want to end up in that kind of book? Or should I take a chance and get on with it?’ I really had to make some tough decisions. I did, and I’m glad I made the right ones.”
