'Chatma' is the new album by Tuareg rockers Tamikrest. The album is a fully persuasive sonic document and is filled with sober reflection, moral indignation, musical experimentation, cultural celebration - and the kick of rock and roll. 'Chatma' translates as "Sisters" and the band have dedicated the album, in their own words, to "the courage of the Tuareg women, who have ensured both their children's survival and the morals of their fathers and brothers."

Majid Bekkas - African Blues (Luca Musto Remix)

Anansy Cissé’s souped-up guitar distortions re-work the West African Desert Blues genre with a new, agitated attitude. Featuring the soku fiddle playing of Zoumana Tereta and accompanied by ngoni, bass and calabash, Cissé’s sound harnesses musical traditions and spits it out anew, taking us into Mali Overdrive.

For further information, please visit www.worldmusic.net/anansycisse

When Cissé’s recording ‘Bala’ landed on our website via World Music Network’s online ‘Battle of the Bands’ competition, we were immediately taken by his gutsy guitar style that plays on tradition by matching it with the direct influence of 1960s and 1970s psychedelic-flavoured rock and roll. 

The story begins in late 2012, when Anansy was forced to dismantle the recording studio he ran in Diré following the invasion of Mali’s northern regions by militant Islamists, many of whom are opposed to secular music-making. His poignant track ‘Gonmi’ calls for peace across Mali and is a reminder of the despair felt by many at the concerning political divisions and connected social reverberations caused by religious tension in the Northern region. Forced to relocate further south, Anansy headed to the beating heart of Mali’s capital city and is now resident blues bad-boy in Bamako.

In Bamako Anansy met Philippe Sanmiguel who is now his percussionist and manager. Anansy soon called on a few more friends to add to the musical pot: esteemed ngoni player Djimé Sissoko laid down some riffs, Abdramane Touré took to the bass and Mahalmadane Traoré found time to slap and smack his calabash. 

Presently Anansy lives in the Faladié district of Bamako and consistently and is steadily working on more material. In the corners of his house, vast towering piles of old-school vinyl peer down on  visiting musicians providing a clue to Anansy’s inspirations: The Rolling Stones, Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd and CSN&Y are all represented. His close appreciation of rock music is heard distinctly via the anthemic guitar riff of the track ‘Fati Ni Koye’. Equal stimulation for his songs, text and rhythm is drawn from traditional Fulani and Songhai music. ‘Sekou Amadou’ pays tribute to the leader and founder of the Fulani Empire of Macina. ‘Horey’ is a takamba song from Gao and Timbuktu. The rhythm is historically linked to the Songhai nobility but electrified and re-energised in Anansy’s version. 

In the often polarised world music community, young African musicians are often either too hastily dismissed as local pop stars who have no international appeal or as authentic saviours in a misplaced quest for authenticity. Now, proudly ramping up the volume and fearlessly taking Malian music into rock overdrive is Anansy Cissé – a pioneer of new music that champions ancient tradition and uncharted modernity at once.

Bab Musique presents Summer Disco Edits. 

01. Black Soul - Africa Africa (Switch "Groov" Exp. edit)
02. Juluka - Umbaqanga Music (2014 mix)

Two tracks edited and mixed by Switch "Groov" Experience 
Recorded at le Studio du Toucan (Paris Est)
Free download // Flac condition

Summer Disco Edits are simply desire to share music in order to do credit to two bands. 
And to give smile and energy of course!

"Africa Africa" is a tune performed by Black Soul and originally produced by New York records label Beam Junction in 1976 (and released by Vogue in France).  
Black Soul was a disco group from Dakar (Senegal) and it worked in Big Apple with legendary Tom Moulton producer who executed mix of this track (thanks to Beat Electric blog for infos).
The work of Switch "Groov" Experience respects in large part the original (not much additionnal productions) proposing an instrumental longer mix with wah-wah guitar, funky brass and loud beat very closed to early 80’s disco house production.

For the second is it a travel and dig’s beautiful story. Switch "Groov" Exp. found in Cape Town couple years ago Juluka’s disco 12" produced by local records label Minc and released in 1983. Juluka was formed by Johnny Clegg and Sipho Mchunu. A guitarist zoulou black guy with an anthropologist and singer white guy into south african society torn apart apartheid. And both made cheap disco music with a real humanity sense and ultra positive vibes. 
Here the 2014 version is only remaster work : a deeper bass, an equalization treatment to clear drums and brass. Just a tactful production touch.

Enjoy Summer Disco Edits and Having Fun !!!

Paradise Row Vol 3 – Pete Herbert & Dicky Trisco

Side A: Dance To Love
Side B1: I Think I Can Feel Somethig
Side B2: Perfecto


After a summer of trips around the globe to play at Croatia festivals, Balinese beach clubs and a variety of underground establishments, Pedro & Dicky deliver the latest episode on their own Paradise Row label.

The EP fuses their love of Disco, House, Italo and Balearic sounds and is a proper party starting, medium sized player with tracks that are ripe for most dance floor moments and occasions.

The up-for-it, head-nodding arps and discoid thrills of ‘Dance To Love’ gets things going in style. While the chunky House and Barbarellas inspired vibes of ‘I Think I Can Feel Something’ will really get you moving. This one has been going down a storm in the clubs this summer apparently. And finally, things come to a grande finale with ‘Perfecto’, which cooks up a Italian influences with Ma Foombey style longings to make for a sound as Balearic as large hierbas on ice.

PERFECTO!

Courtesy of Analog Africa, all original tracks taken from the “Angola Soundtrack” compilation series. Includes 2 that have never been aired and one is a vinyl exclusive. 

From St Lucia to Jamaica to Ghana to Colombia, London born duo The Busy Twist have travelled the globe to create their dance floor killing productions. 

Their debut EP 'Friday Night' combines these cultures, respectfully crossing sound boundaries and joining the dots between Afro House, Kuduro, Latin and Uk Bass. 

The London Luanda Remix Series is the result of digging into 1970's popular music in Angola. Acclaimed by BBC radio host Annie Mac, and supported by the likes of Jillionaire, Buraka Som Sistema or Toddla T, some of these remixes are already being played throughout clubs and parties all over the world, but were never officially released. 

The release of these classic tribal reworks was eventually made possible thanks to the group’s recent trips to Colombia, where they worked alongside Systema Solar, Ghetto Kumbé, Nidia Gongora and Palenque Records, for an impressive variety of original productions, collaborations and remixes. 

In alliance with Colombia-based label Galletas Calientes Records, one of these fruitful encounters, the London Luanda Remix Series was finally materialised.

Isaac Birituro & The Rail Abandon •  Yesu Yan Yan (Village Cuts Remix) 
Kalba Remixed EP 

Having released the album Kalba to huge critical acclaim, Wah Wah 45s are now ready to unleash the next stage of this unique cross-continental project, fronted by Ghanain xylophonist Isaac Birituro and Leeds based sing-songwriter and Grammy nominated producer Sonny Johns, AKA The Rail Abandon. Their debut album caused something of a stir this year, with Gilles Peterson, Cerys Matthews and many more showing it the love it deserves. Even though the album has plenty of club friendly moments, the label decided to let some of their favourite producers give you their own interpretations of this landmark album for Wah Wah 45s.
So up stepped rising stars of the tropical scene, Village Cuts, to deliver a typically uptempo and life - affirming re-work of Yesu Yan Yan; the erstwhile Innocent Sorcerer from Poland, Envee, to give the same cut a more Afro-disco feel; Hong Kong bass worriers Blood Wine or Honey to rework So Ma into a monstrous dance floor destroyer; and Singapore based Kaye from the mighty Darker Than Wax with his clever re-rub of Nye Fo Chen that’ll put you in a proper jazz dance trance

02 El Botellon

Vieux Farka Touré's beautiful latest album was recorded as an homage to his homeland. Being that his native Mali has been splintered by territorial fighting between Tuareg and Islamic rebels since January 2012, his new album, Mon Pays, is devoted to reminding the world about the beauty and culture of his homeland.

‘For me it is a statement for the world that this land is for the sons and daughters of Mali, not for Al Qaeda or any militants. This land is for peace and beauty, rich culture and tolerance.This is our heritage, what we must always fight to protect in any way that we can. For me, that means making music that reminds the world of who we are.’

Translating as ‘My Nation,’ this predominantly acoustic undertaking had been planned before the invasions began. Inspired by his work with Israeli pianist and vocalist Idan Raichel, Touré initially went into a Bamako studio to honor the acoustic blues tradition of Northern and Southern Mali. Since that time, Mon Pays transformed into an artifact of cultural preservation.

Two songs on the project -Future’ and ‘Peace’ feature Sidiki Diabate’s kora leading an emotional charge complemented by Touré’s spectacular guitar work. Both tracks represent an important generational "passing of the torch" as Sidiki’s father, Toumani is considered one of the greatest living kora masters and was a close friend of Vieux’s father Ali. Their two records together, In the Heart of the Moon and Ali and Toumani, were awarded Grammies. At the 2011 ceremonies, Vieux accepted the prestigious award for his father, who had recently passed from bone cancer.

Mon Pays is the most mature and lovely record yet from one of this generation's most exciting artists to come out of Mali and one of world music's true rising stars.

05 Vieux Farka Toure-Nouhoume Maiga

DJ, sound artist and radio host, I invite you to experience sounds, rhythms and melodies as if they are plains, oceans, and mountains. A Geographic DJ at heart, I weave together the stories behind the carefully procured segments from my musical library, a collection that has been nurtured since the end of the 1990s, without the limitations of space or time. My music is multi-dimensional and cosmic, a fusion between the spirit of jazz, the energy of house, the craftsmanship of funk and the luminosity of Afro-Latin music.
