"montreal's tropical music fiend philippe noël is back @ soul bonanza!

last december (2010), philippe visited bogota, barranquilla, santa marta, medellin, cali and cartagena to meet up with the people there and hunting the vinyls. and that short but satisfying trip led him to the brilliant latin and colombian music mix @ sofrito, 716 music and his own blog canicule tropicale

this time philippe selects some obscure but great female voices from around the world - brazil, kenya, benin, angola, ethiopia, martinique... so fresh and lovely mix! it starts with the sit-back-and-relax feeling, but watch out - bezunesh bekele and hafusa abasi will set you on fire! you cannot turn down joby valente's or lourdes van dunen's invitation to dance!
enjoy!"

From the outback of Brazil to the favelas of Adelaide, Xanga hurls bolts of lightning at the people chosen to be his followers, leaving behind imprints of stone axe blades on the Earth's crust. 
With a collection of ambulant drum patterns and raw junk-box rhythms Xanga set the mood for a party. A real party. Forget the deep basslines and moody melodics for a second and put yourself in the hands of these propitious shamans of movement. 
Baile funk saw its rise in the international spotlight around the mid 2000's. It then faded back into the shadows not too long after... what we tend to forget that it still existed and continued to thrive, grow and develop in its homelands and even abroad…. This is where it is at now - the energy is still the same but the ideas are forward thinking whilst still honest to their roots - the roots of the party and the people that built it.

lyrics
Hoy hace ocho días, que no te veo, que no te veo
Hoy hace ocho días, que no te veo, que no te veo
Verte, vida mía, es mi deseo
Verte, vida mía, es mi deseo
Cuando te recuerdo lloro más
(Porque el tiempo aquel no volverá)
Cuando te recuerdo lloro más
(Porque el tiempo aquel no volverá)
Ya volveré
El trago ni nada podrá borrar mi sufrimiento
El trago ni nada podrá cambiar mi amor por ti
Se muere mi alma y me ven contento
Se muere mi alma y me ven feliz
Cuando te recuerdo lloro más
(Porque el tiempo aquel no volverá)
Cuando te recuerdo lloro más
(Porque el tiempo aquel no volverá)
Cuando te recuerdo lloro más
(Porque el tiempo aquel no volverá)
Cuando te recuerdo lloro más
(Porque el tiempo aquel no volverá)
¡Esto sí está rico!
Cuando te recuerdo lloro más
(Porque el tiempo aquel no volverá)
Cuando te recuerdo lloro más
(Porque el tiempo aquel no volverá)
Cuando te recuerdo lloro más
(Porque el tiempo aquel no volverá)
Cuando te recuerdo lloro más
(Porque el tiempo aquel no volverá)

V/A - SOUL SOK SEGA: Sega Sounds from Mauritius 1973 - 1979
Compiled By La Basse Tropicale. Out 5th February 2016 on Strut.
Order: http://lnk.to/SoulSokSegaSo

Frankie Francis of deep-digging tropical DJ duo Sofrito offers up a custom dancefloor-ready edit of a highlight from our latest collection, documenting the heyday of sega music in Mauritius between 1973 and 1979. The album is compiled by La Reunion-based DJs La Basse Tropicale with extensive sleeve notes by Mauritian cultural authority, Percy Yip Tong.

Claudio Veeraragoo is one of the biggest stars of séga music of the 60s and 70s. His stroke of genius was to marry séga rhythms with qawwali and Bollywood styles. He scored his debut hit, ‘Nou Manz Nou Larak’, in 1966, playing the accordion, and broke through as a major star with his cassette release, ‘Bhaï Aboo’ which exploded across the island upon its release. His songs were subsequently covered by French star Maxime Leforestier and Bollywood singer Shaan. Claudio has since brought séga to the four corners of the globe and, of all of the ‘70s artists, has remained one of Mauritius’ biggest live draws. Today, his son Michael, a drummer and producer, manages his father’s activities via their own production house, Kabana Music.

After his acclaimed debut « Cotonou » on Alma Negra’s record label, James Stewart comes back with his new EP « Atlantic River Drive » for Mawimbi Records, featuring two collaborations with Ghanaian kologo musician Ayuune Sule as well as two remixes from Simbad aka SMBD.

James Stewart met Ghanaian kologo musician Ayuune Sule, after booking several shows of kologo music star King Ayisoba in Lyon. Stewart was quick to witness the bluesy tone of Ayuune’s voice and his kindness as a musician, despite his impressive stature. Quite logically, Stewart invited Sule to record vocals on two of his ongoing demos at Bruno Patchworks’ recording studio (Voilaaa, Mr. President, Da Break), with the idea of making a rather unheard crossover between traditional kologo music and contemporary styles that would both appeal to Ghanaian crowds and a Western audience. Stewart then had a number of his arrangement ideas re-recorded by a talented cast of musicians (see list of credits), resulting in a brilliant mix of acoustic and electronic textures, sounding both vintage and modern.

Nodding to Eddie Palmieri’s landmark record “Harlem River Drive”, “Atlantic River Drive” is a stomping dancefloor track, drawing from the 6/8 feel of kologo music and the energy of contemporary club music. The track can be read as a tribute to the musical cross-pollinations between the African continent and its many diasporas, which Stewart has dedicated a long part of his life to, while also a more intimate story about his life and family. All words were written by Stewart and then translated by Sule in his native Fra fra language from Northern Ghana. 
 
“Where Are You Going?” is a two-part journey that reminds us that we should care about each other, about our communities while we don’t know what the future is made of. An important and much welcome message to navigate through these troubled, uncertain times. Referencing N’dombolo music, the track has two parts and rich arrangements, with its first part going deep with syncopated clarinet hooks and playful percussion parts, and its second part moving to a four-on-the-floor pattern and an entrancing baritone saxophone solo. 
 
The EP also features Worldwide FM and Brownswood maestro Simbad, who delivers two dancefloor-ready reworks of the track “Where Are We Going?” under his SMBD moniker, turning it into a spiritual, dubby journey, as well as an emotional peaktime track.

James Stewart est l'hôte, DJ résident et co-promoteur de la soirée mensuelle "Black Atlantic Club" au Sucre à Lyon. Empruntant le terme «Atlantique noir» du livre de 1993 du savant renommé Paul Gilroy, Stewart présente la «musique noire» comme un échange culturel transnational incroyablement diversifié. Conférencier avide sur le sujet et fondateur du Blog Afrosouldescarga, il fusionne une approche intellectuelle avec le côté musical et créatif des choses: en tant que joueur de conga et percussionniste actif, membre de Voilaaa Sound System et showhost à Radio Nova.
