Aquesta cançó és la banda sonora del Videodansa 'Odisea' produït per Chaos Emblematic i estrenat al Festival Choreoscope l'Octubre de 2024. La música acompanya un viatge de reconnexió amb l'entorn natural. Conté enregistraments ambientals reals del mar a Roses, Costa Brava, on es va gravar i crear el curtmetratge. La cançó et bressola en un suau vaivé, com si estiguessis flotant sobre el mar. Entre cants i ecos, expressa un desig de reconnexió amb el cos de la mare terra.

LLETRA:

Les roques canten el lament de la terra
la seva veu ressona i ressona el gruny de la mare terra
la mare terra lamenta, lamenta
i les roques canten el seu cant
les roques canten el seu cant
les roques canten, les roques canten
el lament de la terra
el lament de la terra
el lament del ventre de la terra
que gruny que gruny que gruny i diu que prou

Ecos de dolor d'una mare dolguda (x4)
Que mica en mica, mica en mica calma

Hem quedat embruixades
d'aigua salada,
onades que ens retornen a la dansa...
preses de l'aigua
records d'una vida passada
més connectada
amb el nostre instint.

Paul Murphy’s Claremont 56 label welcomes a genuine legend of UK music to its roster – Chaz Jankel, the man whose dizzying musicality and love of soul, funk and disco did much to shape the sound of Ian Dury’s Blockheads band in the late 1970s and early ‘80s.

A virtuoso keyboardist with a deep love of Black American music, Jankel’s arrangements and compositional skills were key to the success of their records, the funkiest of which not only became crossover pop hits – see ‘Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick’ and ‘Reasons To be Cheerful, Part 3’ in particular – but also saw heavy rotation in now iconic New York clubs including the Paradise Garage and Studio 54. 

This continued during the formative years of his solo career, with ‘My Occupation’, ‘Questionnaire’ and ‘Glad To Know You’ (later famously re-edited and dubbed out for nu-disco dancefloors by Todd Terje) all becoming club hits. The great Quincy Jones also covered Jankel’s infectious single ‘Ai No Carrida’, while experimental, club-ready synth-jam ‘3,000,000 Synths’ was also influential during the early years of the electro movement.

For his Claremont 56 bow, Jankel has delivered an all-new workout recorded earlier this year, the simply titled ‘Rhumba Jam’. A typically warm, groovy and rolling affair, it features Jankel delivering infectious, stretched-out Rhodes electric piano solos over toasty bass, clipped guitar licks, warm bass, accordion-style synth motifs and a densely layered Rhumba rhythm. While relaxed and sun-soaked, it also has bags of Balearic dancefloor potential.

Murphy remixes under his now familiar Mudd alias, leaning into the track’s languid Balearic vibe while keeping a firm focus on the dancefloor. Beginning with an enticing mix of metronomic drums and jangly acoustic guitars, Murphy slowly layers up key elements of Jankel’s original – think rubbery bass, rhythmic handclaps, mazy synth sounds and those wonderful, stretched-out solos. It’s a version that pays due reverence to the quality of Jankel’s musicianship, production and arrangement while subtly extending it and reframing it for 21st century Balearic dancefloors.
