Mop Mop - Totem Feat. Anthony Joseph

There was nothing but dust and rock back in those days: the grass had yet to grow and the plains lay bare. In the beginning there was very little to live for, not like now. Those days were but a distant memory now, a reflection of the past and times of desparation.Now they lived prosperously and fruitfully, the day was theirs to cease and the struggle was no more. 

Alma Negra are quickly becoming one of our favourite collaborative groups. They incorporate musical oddities, worldly sounds, percussion and blend it amongst nostalgic elements of folk and sounds from far away.

Since its inception in 2013, Mawimbi founders have been expanding their knowledge of lesser known and rather undiscovered musical territories thanks to chance encounters with likeminded DJs/producers, who were kind enough to put them onto a good amount of under-the-radar tropical gems. 

Launched in 2017 and named after Mawimbi's bi-monthly radio show on Rinse France, the "Radio Mawimbi" compilation series is dedicated to unearthing vintage tropical gems in the form of free download edits and remixes by some of the most seasoned diggers and promising rookies of the tropical-enthusiast community! 

From deep, drum-heavy workouts to essential Guinea Bissau melancholy, through remixed Beninese afrofunk and vintage South African kwaito, this second installment features the editing and remixing work of Yeahman (Frente Bolivarista), LSD (Love Saves The Day), Déni Shain (Antagana Records), Umoja, Mawimbi, ATW (Around The World), Calisto, Turbo Boom-Boom (TBB) and Midnight Ravers.

Compiled by Mawimbi, 2017 - 2018

Gabelo - Wokunyeya (Midnight Ravers Remix)

Kandiafa - Kele Magni (Mawimbi Remix)

Cet été, Abdoulaye Koné dit Kandiafa, neveu de Mama Sissoko, célèbre compagnon de route d'Ali Farka Touré, électrise son Mali.

Surnommé le "Django Reinhardt du Mali", Kandiafa apparait en en 2017 sur le label Sans Commentaire. Son album "Mali Country" sonne comme un hymne aux musiques qu’affectionne le virtuose, dans un style résolument africain. En effet, s'il a reçu l'enseignement traditionnel des musiciens griots de Bamako au Mali, son infinie curiosité le pousse à étudier la musique Arabe, le Flamenco, ainsi que la plupart des styles occidentaux. C'est lors d'une tournée aux États Unis, au Canada et en France qu'il découvre la musique country et le jazz manouche. Le déclic se produit : la naissance d'une identité musicale. Tel Django, et à tout juste 30 ans, Kandiafa créé un son, un style unique, et authentiquement Africain.

Aujourd'hui, Kandiafa change de couleur pour re-explorer ses titres "Kele Magni" et "Nyonton" avec la sortie d’un nouvel EP de 4 titres. Au programme: rien de moins que le cultissime producteur french touch St Germain, Ghost of Christmas (les petits protégés de Laurent Garnier, croisés sur la route avec Rone ou encore French 79), Mawimbi (les ambassadeurs de l'afro-house, qui fêtent leurs cinq ans d'activisme ce jours ci) et Sébastien Forrester (repéré chez le super label parisien Nowadays) proposent une relecture hypnotique de l’atypique artiste.

Leurs approches du style du flamboyant malien nouvelle génération varient entre déconstructions et reconstruction, appropriation des timbres, développement de grooves multipliés et réinterpretations mélodiques. L’essence de "Mali Country" est bel et bien là, autant sublimé par St Germain, qui fait ressortir la touche latino du titre, que chez Ghost of Christmas dont le remix est construit comme un kaléidoscope autour des notes de sa guitare magique, le djeli ngoni. Finalement Mawimbi et Sébastien Forrester consacrent au son malien un classicisme electro sans faille, dans un registre dansant pour les uns et cinématographique pour l'autre.

Mawimbi crew : "En tant qu'amateur de musiques mandingues, c'était vraiment un plaisir de pouvoir bosser avec ces pistes. L'idée était d'isoler la "substance" mélodique du morceau, à savoir la voix et le ngoni medium, pour venir construire autour de cela en ajoutant des boîtes à rythme, une ligne de basse forte et en doublant certaines parties avec des synthétiseurs. L'idée générale était d'offrir une relecture un peu plus dansante, tout en travaillant quelque chose qui puisse aussi s'écouter à la maison. L'inspiration du remix me vient clairement du temps passé à écouter des musiques afro-cubaines et à réaliser combien elles ont en commun avec les musiques mandingues. Ce sont ces ponts là qui m'intéressent au sein de Mawimbi et c'est ce que j'ai essayé de retranscrire au sein de ce remix, tout en jouant subtilement sur la teneur mélancolique du morceau."
