Name: Hollis P. Monroe - Beautiful Izi (Ruoho Ruotsi Reshape) by Ruoho
Duration: 6 min 36 s
Description: My remix of the @hollispmonroe classic "Beautiful Izi" abstractly defies categorisation; the stylish dauntlessness, the hazily buoyant Europorno technical execution mos-def evocative of the ambivalent harmonic parallelism of Claude Debussy!!! Crucial!!

https://silvioastier-boomarmnation.bandcamp.com/album/pampa-ep

Pampa is a Quechua word (the language of the Incas) which refers to the fertile plains and lowlands of the Río de la Plata, which extend through the central zone of Argentina and Uruguay. 
The arrival of slaves in the 1500’s transformed the Pampa into a sonorous territory of rhythms mixed between African percussion and the native song of the Gauchos. However, in the mid-nineteenth century, revolution and war silenced the Pampa. 
A silence which led Silvio Astier to look deeply into his own Argentinian roots. 

With the Pampa EP, Silvio Astier presents a musical exploration of the ancestral Latin American landscape of the Pampa. 
The journey is led by Slivio’s own Pampean style guitar playing, flutes and hand percussion, set beautifully against the warmth of sub bass, mystical dub FX, vocals, and soundscapes. 

Silvio Astier is a multi instrumentalist musician and producer based in Buenos Aires. Mixing the rhythms and ancestral musical landscapes of Latin America with textures and beats of organic electronics. This sound is the product of the search for ancient Latin American music and its African influence, the constant dialogue between reminiscences of the past and the electronic sound of the present.

Silvio Astier -  El Coraquenque Ciego

The indigenous cause is an urgent one not only in terms of territory but also when it comes to the preservation of the vast native Brazilian culture and Brazilian singer-songwriter Marlui Miranda has been dedicating herself for almost four decades to keep their music alive (she's a doctorate on native Brazilian music, so you know). 

In 1995, Marlui released the album "Ihu: Todos os Sons", a collection of native Brazilian chants she gathered in her field researches and released only in CD through two small labels (one in the US, the other in Brazil). This research started in 1986, funded by the John Simmon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, and it investigated the sounds of different tribes in the Rondônia state, northern Brazil, namely the Suruí, the Makuarap, the Aruá, the Tupari and the Jaboti tribes - the latter being the one identified with the "Tchori Tchori" chant, which praises a bird called biguá. 

The haunting, beautiful melody of "Tchori Tchori" couldn't get a better companion than the exquisite musical palette of Uakti, one of Brazil's greatest instrumental groups, known for creating their own instruments (you've heard them before in Selva Discos alongside Maria Rita). That's what the listener gets on the A side of this release - the deep sound frequencies of a 45RPM cut, fully remastered, of a song never put on a vinyl record before.

Multicoloured blasts of undulating, unstable tapestries, ricocheting Dancehall mutations over reverbed-out dread techno bassline warps

Raised on a diet of  1970s Afrobeat, Jùjú music & genre-defying Black American pop, Ruoho's music draws upon the visceral aesthetics of dub, techno, garage & impractical melodic leitmotifs from experimental electro-acoustics, fusing them into imaginative new exhilarations, sometimes 4-on-the-floor, other times Avant-dubwise or ambient. His music has been described by some as “vaporous”, “aching and expansive” & “a wicked dub abstraction”.

Ruoho won an international BBC Radio 1 remix competition, reshaping Steve Reich's seminal piece “Music for 18 Musicians” & has released 12" vinyl records on numerous boutique labels like Unfulfillment (Montréal), Zero G Sounds (Boston), Thoughtless Music (Toronto), de'fchild productions (San Francisco), Adjunct Digital (Los Angeles), Skor Records (Los Angeles), Auralism (San Francisco) & Creaked Records (Switzerland). He has performed live at the Winter Music Conference (Miami), Decibel Festival (Seattle) as well as numerous underground venues across North America.
