The World of Souma

DUNDUNBANZA - (TPS 048)
Selections by Souma Records 

Many thanks to Souma Records for this wonderful mix 
and the informative words hope you can play this one loud 
https://soundcloud.com/soumarecords

*******************************************************

In this 136-minute voyage, we canter around the Tropics to soak in a healthy dose of esoteric gyrations deeply rooted in canonical African rhythms.

 Dundunbanza is an “evil” Congolese spirit which has been defied for centuries by the followers of the Palo Monte religion that gained prominence in Cuba. And while “bad” spirits in African traditions are not always evil per se (an imperialist concept imposed through colonization and Christianity), they are in fact often seen as a metaphysical vessel for one’s intentions and worthiness. That being said, the song “Dundunbanza” (n° 13 in the mix) by Arsenio Rodriguez - one of the originators of Cuban Son Montuno – is in fact calling out a certain malevolent spiritual presence! If this spirit has been reincarnated today in the form of a severe acute respiratory syndrome known as SARS-CoV-2 to agonise our lives, then by the power of Arsenio’s mambo may this spirit twist and turn to his demise!

 While the tracks selected for this mix aren’t all necessarily related to African religions, they pay homage to the vibrant African heritage that they draw inspiration from. The spirit of the mix is that the power of joyful melancholy and minor scales over pure rhythmic hypnosis, can transcend a listener or dancer to a state of elation.

Non-stop vintage Latin and Tropical rarities from across the Atlantic and other (sub)tropical regions recorded from original LPs, 45s and old shellacs found by Fred from Souma records, as a guest mix for the Turning Point Sessions friends in Toronto.

TPS 054 - RITMO PA GOZAR - Selections by Ruffy(Discodelic)

With "Gnawave", Gats and Khalil Mounji invite us on a musical journey that transcends borders and genres, fusing Moroccan Gnawa tradition with the electrifying energy of Berlin's underground scene.
In honor of the late Maallem Said Benthami Oughassal, the revered Gnawa master whose spirit continues to inspire, "Gnawave" is a heartfelt dedication that pays homage to his enduring legacy. May he rest in peace, his influence resonates through every note and beat of this album. As we embrace the profound influence of Maallem Said Benthami Oughassal on Khalil' playing, we also recognize the importance of supporting his family, especially his 7-year-old daughter Rihanna, during this challenging time. To give back to the family of the master, we have established a fund from the proceeds of "Gnawave." We encourage our listeners and fans to contribute generously to this cause, ensuring that the future of this young talent is secure and her dreams are nurtured, just as her father's music has enriched our lives. Let us come together in unity, just as "Gnawave" unites traditions and genres, to provide tangible support to the family of a true Gnawa legend.

SOUMA RECORDS (Label)

With a firm appetite for timeless and vibrant music from all corners of the world, the Souma catalogue reveals the fascination for unearthed repertories, obscure artists and less explored urban and rural music cultures.  

Souma was the nickname of the famous Egyptian singer Umm Kulthum, who devoted her life to music and always stood strong in a world of men. Souma is the symbol of a great era of Arabic music. The label took off two years ago, formerly being part of Radio Martiko. Souma’s first release was the long-awaited rare soundtrack compilation of Egyptian 70s star keyboard player Hany Mehanna.
