Whatever Happened, It's Alright Now

Dap Kings' Electro-Sax Space Warrior returns with this groove-heavy sequel - an expressive, transcendental journey through the archive of his Indigenous roots and beyond.

Drawing on ancestral memories and family histories to wrap new flesh around the bones of history, this album is a bold, semi-autobiographical work that leads us deeper into the annals of family histories, mythology, and the cultural imaginary.

Leading a 7-piece ensemble composed of New York’s top percussionists and members of Daptone’s rhythm section, Cochemea has created his own world of emotional textures and rhythmic possibilities, a musical and spiritual synthesis made possible through his deep reverence of the horn and the music and traditions preceding him. Vol II: Baca Sewa - is an offering and continuation of Cochemea’s explorations, part of a musical process of cultural reclamation and healing through connection, relations, memory and imagination.

Cochemea - Mimbreños

Come out and play,
you know I'm your fool.
Just a silly game, just another joke,
dancing in the rain, fire, and the smoke.

You're down in a daydream,
I'm after the truth.
Circling the drain down the rabbit hole,
never landing where I could help you go.

It's true, I thought a long walk would do.
You're stuck in the mirror having hard talks
and looking at your opposite.

And so it's like this:
I'm going nowhere.
One day we'll run wild with the wind in your hair.
Well I'll stay right here when you vanish in there.
I'm holding you now while I'm locked out.

Remember last spring,
(strange oasis of yours)
laying out in the bluebells?
(strange oasis of yours)
Vessels from the past floating down the stream,
(sullen the oasis of your house)
they don't carry you like they carry me.
(suddenly I'm weightless)
And it's alright to say so,

(sullen the oasis of your house)
but if it's alright I'll stay close.

And so it's like this:
I'm going nowhere.
One day we'll run wild with the wind in your hair.
Well I'll stay right here when you vanish in there.
I'm holding you now while I'm locked out.

It's true, I thought a long walk would do.
You're stuck in the mirror having hard talks
and looking at your opposite.

And so it's like this:
I'm going nowhere.
One day we'll run wild with the wind in your hair.
Well I'll stay right here when you vanish in there.
I'm holding you now while I'm locked out

Long-time (3+ years!) curator of a regular weekly 10 track playlist of legit, (mostly) new tracks from Soundcloud, dug up here, there and everywhere. The lists always start out as 10 tracks, but some subsequently get pulled from Soundcloud by the band/artist or the label, so don't blame me for any short lists!
