ዘራፌ

Hailu Mergia - ዘራፌ

Borrowing from tomorrow is an eerie dark sweetness translated into contemporary reinterpretations of Tezeta without being to stubborn about its lineage. Here we pursue not the understanding of this feeling rather the expression of real emotions all the while staying beautifully committed to groove. 
This mix is dedicated to the complexity of emotions and the limitations of language. This abstraction, can find solace in being expressed through music. Sweet pain, a burning kiss goodbye, dreaming of home. Mostly this mix is influenced by the Ethiopian Tezeta, a musical attempt to describe this feeling.

Tracks: 
Papa Chango - The Lost Moon of Bellaris
Shogun Orchestra - The River of Sanzu
Akalé Wube - Kidus a Cent Dix
Compro Oro - Greetings from the Colony
The Sorcerers - Beneath the City of the Monkey God
Nomade Orquestea - Vênus
Noori and his Dorpa Band - Jagana

The title of the mix comes from the Text of Mahmoud Ahmed’s 1974 song Tezeta: 

Tinan’tenan t’so, zaren tentereso 
Kenegem teweso, amna’nem adeso 
Yemetal tizita gwazun agbesbeso

Outdoing yesterday, shouldering on today, 
Borrowing from tomorrow, renewing yesteryears, 
Comes tizita (memory) hauling possessions

The Music Issue

Recorded live at We Change The Frequency; Excerpt from the weekly music night held at the Bee's Mouth, Brighton, UK, every Friday, Curated by Kin;Aesthetic and guests. Full details at http://www.kin-aesthetic.com

WCTF follows a loose manifesto...the general idea is:

*An evolving diverse jigsaw of sounds is the goal
*The selection is not planned but improvised according to mood, atmosphere and preceding records
*The environment plays its part, and the music will be accordingly flexible
*Beat matching is too tempo-restricting, and only occasionally features if appropriate
*On the whole, a piece of music played one week will not be played again in the immediately following weeks and records which fit well with one another will not be played together regularly
*No piece of music is out of the question, but some may never be appropriate
*Track listings are recorded and available in the interest of shared music knowledge

Malik Abdul-Rahmaan & Chris Hound- Ethiopian Melodies

Drenched in Africa: a selection of killer and super rare original 45's from West and East Africa

Since Zouk arrived (back) in Africa from the Guadeloupe and Martinique islands, where rhythms and melodies of the African “expats” mixed with Rumba, Calypso, Gwo Ka, Compas, Reggae, and even Salsa (and where they must have looked across the ocean with infinite longing for home), it has since been influenced by another deeply emotional music: Portugese Fado. Long story short, during the last few decades Zouk, Kizomba, and related styles have become IMMENSELY popular and ubiquitous in many parts of Africa.

But, we all know what this kind of huge commercial success does to a genre: it becomes cheap and watered down, and quantity replaces quality. Thus 99% of the modern Zouk and Kizomba we encounter today is tacky and paltry rubbish of incredibly bad taste, garishly saccharine instead of deeply moving like the Zouk of bygone years. Yet in this sordid state of affairs there are artists who are producing music which retain more than a touch of the golden years, making songs that are soul stirring as they are irresistible on the modern dance floor. So if one digs deeper, there IS such a thing as good contemporary Zouk and Kizomba: this is what i hope to convince people of, especially long time lovers of African music who have given up on these genres.

Historically, the Afro-Caribbean connection has produced very much amazing music about romantic love. But Angola and Cape Verde has developed specific strands of musical expression which focus on a special feeling: that of loss and longing, of desire and nostalgia, of love mixed with sadness. (an example most are familiar with would be the Cape Verdean Morna artist Cesaria Evora).  I believe that the best love songs in the world are actually about its absence or loss, and this mix focuses on music both sexy and infused with a deeper sense of burning emotional urgency.

NGOMA 08 - Saudade

Song sampled: ትዝታ("Tizita") - Mulatu Astatke

ትዝታ("Tizita") means nostalgia in Amharic, and it's also the name of the genre this sample belongs to. Musicians would play this music at bars + pubs (which are currently closed), so I thought that it would be fitting to use this sample as it literally encapsulates the nostalgia I have for how things used to be.
