*About:

Andrei Bucureci – Lil Obeah is a curator, musicologist, art director and entrepreneur with over 10 years of experience in radio, music and art. His portfolio includes various projects such as Tunesinourheads, Abator Industries, Crowd Control, Creionetica, Black Rhino Music, Black Rhino Radio and A4Activism. Bucharest has been a collaborator of Radio Guerrilla, Electronic Beats by Telekom, Metropotam and is a graduate of architecture, art and design. Andrei recently launched his solo debut album Lil Obeah From Transylvania, this time under his latest moniker Lil Obeah.

The Sound of Art to Come Records is his and his partners Cristiana Bucureci project, a Transylvanian platform, publishing house and record label, where dub, electronic and experimental artists from all over the world come together. From the depths of Romania, Andrei and Cristiana offer monthly a unique selection of works of art, collages, music and remixes inspired by the intersection between Pop Art, multiculturalism and horror movie soundtracks.

Bucureci Lil Obeah also host a monthly show on Black Rhino Radio called Everyday Is Halloween with sessions dedicated to Jamaican music and dub, reggae and bass music sounds all over the world inspired by Horror films, concepts, art and a certain dark spooky haunting aesthetic. It may sound strange but Everyday Is Halloween focuses on the special sound that bridges the gap between pop art culture, comic books and Caribbean culture.

These mixes aim to be similar to a pirate Eastern EU radio show from another dimension, ranging from weird experimental authentic local dub to traditional reggae-dub with ska and rock influences. The music featured on the show is from across the decades since the 1950’s to present Halloween days.

This Everyday Is Halloween Asymetrics Mixtape features exclusive remixes and never-heard-before original songs from the Sound of Art to Come renegade Transylvanian label and inspirational tunes.

"La Musica No Se Muere" : forgotten Afro-Latin treasures from Guinea Conakry's Syliphone.

https://theasymetrics.com/blog/mikael-el-rojo-la-musica-no-se-muere/

Guinea Conakry has a rich musical history, especially after the country’s independence in 1958 which allowed decades of beautiful music to flourish across the country.

The Syliphone record label has allowed many talented orchestras to record their music, constituting now an invaluable cultural heritage.

Guinean Music is fantastic and clearly unique : a blend of traditional, West-African and Afro-Cuban music. 

Beyond their typically deep, funky and groovy music, Guinean orchestras have also played Latin music, covering Cuban songs the Guinean way. 

The result is breathtaking....
