Yerna Fassè - Khaïra Arby Yeko (remastered)

This mix/performance was part of the MEG-AIMP / Réveil des Archives Sonores series: 
N.18 w/ @Cobeia (music curator of @ecoutesauvert) 11-05-23 / 18:30 - 20 in the Museum foyer

I was invited to do a vinyl DJ set at the Museum of Ethnology of Geneva (MEG) directly from their extensive archive material. 💫  

On that day, I was given access to dig in a Collection that belonged to Marco Botta, a foreign affairs Swiss diplomat who accumulated records (and newspapers) from all his trips around the World. 🌎 After his death, his family donated the vast Collection to the MEG. It contains folklore & modern music from all over the world up to the 80s. Several big shelves of vinyl from South America, Europe, Oceania, Africa... subdivided by countries. Around 5000 records, most in pristine condition! 

With the little time at my disposal, I decided to focus on Africa, because of my link to it, extensive travels around North and East Africa, my readings about the forging of the Portuguese 1st Global Empire circumventing Africa on their way to India, the many documentaries about the continent I saw, and my interest for its many cultures & music. 

For 4 hours, I searched through the collection, could hear the music, and made a selection. Right after, I played a 1 hour and a half set with the records in public. The set was recorded, filmed & broadcast on WAV33.

I had 2 turntables and a Pioneer mixer at my disposal. I created spontaneously a mixed set, at times overlapping tunes and using effects, especially in the first half hour which features more tribalistic music and sounds sometimes otherworldly.   

I started with an imaginary Ancient Egypt track from a record of a Tutankhamun exhibition in Seattle from 1976, followed by an oud song from the Ottoman Period era by a well-known Egyptian Musician. Then went into Tuareg incursions, tribalistic music, Portuguese colonies (Cabo Verde, Angola...), circumvolution of Africa passing the Cape of Good Hope, all the way to the other side through the various lands (South Africa, Mozambique, Kenya, Ethiopia...) and Islands off the coast of Africa (Maurice, Comoros, Seychelles...) in the Indian Ocean as far as La Reunion and Zanzibar.

Thanks to all at MEG and everyone who was there to listen. 💙

This is the result of which I am pretty proud of. Hope you'll enjoy it!!! 😘

Over the years, he has organised many concerts and evenings of electro-acoustic, African, No Wave, Electronic, Disco and Experimental music, with talented local and international artists.

Curious to explore a wide range of styles, he unearths gems through long digging sessions. Traditional and modern African music, Outernational, Jazz, Afro-Funk, Post Punk, Disco, Cosmic, Italo, Wave, Electronic, Ambient, Experimental... are just some of the genres he loves. Music that often features a mix of instruments, synths and drum machines, with an analog sound in a computerized world. ;)
