Baba Saali - a song off Hamsa Lila's forthcoming album Aurora, with special guest ska/reggae guitar legend Ernest Ranglin. This Gnawa-influenced song features the punchy, bass-like sounds of the Sintir - Moroccan camel skinned bass - combined with Ranglin's potent, pinpointed guitar work woven amidst Hamsa Lila's signature call-and-response vocals.

Baba Saali is the first song to be released from "Aurora", due out in August 2015.

Populous is Andrea Mangia, a producer hailing from Lecce, a small city on the heel of Italy's boot. In 2003, he made his first jaunt into the music world with the album Quipo (via Morr Music). In 2005 he released Queue For Love, influenced by his reggae/hip-hop-infused surroundings (Lecce is known as Italy's Jamaica, as reggae and dancehall are extremely popular there) and in 2008 he released Drawn in Basic. Both albums were widely received by international critics, earning him a spot on the global music map. He became known for the way he seamlessly blends digital sounds with the analog warmth of soul/hip-hop/whatever else he's influenced by at the time.

Azulejos, his forthcoming release, has a South American tinge to it (and is even partly in Spanish). He moved to Lisbon, Portugal to start work on the album bringing with him only a laptop, a small MIDI keyboard, and a microphone. "Lisbon became both my studio and my muse," he says. He wandered the city collecting field recordings— from trams to people singing on street corners. He sifted through flea markets for records to use for sampling (exclusively Portuguese and South American). Populous describes Lisbon as a city 'halfway between South American soul and European modernity, African in some aspects, and dramatically melancholic." He channeled these poignant fusions into Azulejos, named for the typical tiled facades in Portugal— simultaneously bright and decaying. The album features collaborations with Nina Miranda of Smoke City and Ela Minus, among others. It's a love letter to Lisbon, and a dreamy quilt of sounds he both grew up with and heard for the first time during his influential stay in Portugal.

Populous - Batismo (feat. Riva)

After releasing the World re-known "Arabadub" album in 2013, The Spy from Cairo returns with a deeper & more cosmic dance-floor sound. Coming back from numerous travels abroad with bigger club & festival performances, he switched from the traditional Oud to an electric Oud, which made things much easier traveling & live. The first two songs we get to hear from his forthcoming album in Autumn 2017 are here. "Sirens of the Nile" is a late night 110 BPM driving four to the floor groove mixed with live Oud, violin/ orchestra lines & echoing vocals. "Open Sesame" features the Oud over hypnotic electronic sounds & a crisp 90+ bpm boom bap beat. The cover was a photo taken from a previous tour in Egypt mixed with a photo of the burnt ambers of a late night festival around a fire.

Bouriema Touré is the real name of Vieux Farka Touré. Demo song 2005 INA Bamako

Bouriema Toure (Vieux Farka Touré) - Dounagan

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.


10 Vieux Farka Toure-Ay Bakoy

Música título do primeiro álbum de André Sampaio & Os AfroMandinga, "Desaguou" foi gravada entre fevereiro de 2012 em Bamako, no Mali (Africa Ocidental) e maio do mesmo ano no Rio de Janeiro.

Gravada com Vieux Farka Toure, filho do grande Ali Farka Toure - considerado o maior guitarrista africano de todos os tempos-, a musica nos leva a passear pelos rios Niger (Djoliba), São Francisco e pelo cruzar de vidas e destinos que as águas proporcionam.

A capa do disco, que aparece abaixo no link, foi pintada por Ananda Nahu da Firme Forte Records.

Um passeio pelas cordas e sotaques de uma África e um Brasil que são tão diversos e tão similares.

Desaguou!

Truth and Grace

Gravada quase toda no Mali (Africa Ocidental), Massane Cisse ("No fim todos somos iguais") eh uma cancao que fala sobre a transitoriedade da vida. Como que, no fim dela, todos terminaremos da mesma forma, entao quais sao os valores que vamos levar e vamos deixar aqui da nossa passagem?

Cantada sobre tema tradicional mandengue, a musica nos transporta a uma epoca de reis e rainhas mandinga, com o djeli n'goni (alaude grio) de Assaba Drame costurando junto com o violao e a guitarra gravados por Andre uma ponte entre o ancestral e o atual. Tudo isso com a atemporal e eterea voz de Fatim Kouyate que nos transporta pra um lugar que parece sempre ter estado no fundo de nossa alma.

"Allah i la la, Allah i la la, Dunya Be Ten De" - Oh Deus, o mundo eh assim como eh...
