"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....

Luiza (d'n'b remix)

Matasuna Records starts the new year 2020 with a brilliant release, featuring two contemporary tracks by Paris based Afrobeat band Batunga & The Subprimes, available for the first time on vinyl.

Batunga & The Subprimes was founded in Paris in 2009 by musicians from different backgrounds, united by the will to mix traditional African music with other elements (Latin, Jazz, Second Line and even Rock) and to bring this explosive mix on the streets & on stage. After many shows all over Europe and beyond, their first official album Man in the Field was published in 2017, followed by their EP Let dem In in late 2019. Matasuna has chosen two extraordinary cuts of these self-released albums to release them on vinyl for the first time.

Gates Of Ouantou from their EP is a great tune that sets the bar for contemporary Afrobeat and has all the ingredients for a timeless classic: the arrangement, the instrumentation and the interplay of the seven musicians in the song are excellent and will immediately draw you into its spell. A real gem and great tune!

Man in the Field on flipside is a cut of their first official album. Unusual is the use of a banjo in an Afrobeat song but not surprising that this fits in very well and also shows that classical structures can be broken up and developed in a new approach/context. Another great piece of this extraordinary band that has been operating under the radar - until now!

Batunga & The Subprimes - Gates Of Ouantou (7inch Edit)

I haven't done a serious mix in a while and somehow it ended up being a blend of melancholy blues, swing and heaps of tropical courtesy of some of my favourite producers at the moment. 

The last time I did a mix I was still using vinyl so I wanted to experiment with sorting one out entirely digitally. It's not as easy as it should be...mostly just difficult keeping the quality up after having had to rerecord MP3s at altered tempos for the mixes. If any of the artists featured in the mix feel like sending me full wavs or aifs of their tunes then I'd be delighted to slot them back in at higher quality. Here's the tracklist.


Kinka - Totala Dub
Palov & Panama Cardoon – Basmati Rice
Kazamatsuri Kenta – Alasca
Muddy Waters feat Automato – Walk into the Blues (Grant Lazlo Rmx)
Monetrik - Blues Soup (Due for release on Freshly Squeezed on 17th Feb 2013)
Grant Lazlo – Une Histoire de Photo
Palov meets Ang Angelides – Movin Next Door
Los Chicos Altos – Palenque Barcelona
Dynamite MC – Shake (Senor Griff’s sambaragga rmx)
Coco Raizes de Arcoverde  - Galinha zabele (Dos Melo edit)
Manjah – Oriente Patria
Ella & Duke – Caravan (Grant Lazlo rmx)
Sidestepper – San Juan (Dos Melo Edit)
Monetrik – Juge m Bien
Whiskey Barons – Comencemos
Jazzy Jens – Guarapera
Pinduca – Vamos Farrear (Senor Griff rmx)
Minimatic – The Medellin Bopper
Voodoocuts - Lupita 
Nu Mark – Oya Indebure
Unknown – La Guadaloupe moin river (Frankie Francis Edit)
Manu Chao – Clandestino
Roberto Carlos - O Calhambeque (XRS Remix)


Señor Griff's tropical blues mix

A short expedition into the much overlooked tipica cumbia sound of Panamá

The heartache, melancholy and joy in the Panamá Tipica sound is hard to match and like no other to experience. It comes from a rich background of regional musical traditions, carnival rivalry and hotbeds like the legendary 'Festival en Guarare'. As I understand it, Panamanian cumbia was first played on violin until the arrival of accordions on the Isthmus, most early acordeoneros were violinists first and foremost. This mixtape comprises of some of the best 45s from the Herrera and Los Santos provinces, from the mid 50s through to late 60s. Over the last few years I've had the good fortune to meet several of these wonderful artists. Featured here: Dorindo, Papi Brandao, Oswaldo,Fito Espina, Ulpiano, Ceferino and more... (photo compliments of Papi Brandao). Viva Panamá!
