Souma Mix

The World of Souma

As we enter another epoch in the collaboration corridor of DW, this time the obscure music hoarders at Radio Alhara reached out and asked if we could supply them with a mixtape for September. It is only on rare occasions these days that the three architects of Dream Weapons, Moahaha, Sadhu Sadhu and Prabha Devi, join forces, but this was an opportunity we couldn't turn down. 

Three minds were sent racing into the void to collect sounds and sighs captured on tape from all corners of the globe. The tracks were shared and listened to and carefully put in order, artwork created, blurbs written and off it went into the ether, off to Palestine, to perfume the air of different realms.

This fourth episode of Turbo Sud on @radioalhara is an hour of South Italian acoustic guitar songs by songwriters, sonaturi, cantastorie e cantori, such as the legendary Sicilian singer Rosa Balistreri, pop star Domenico Modugno, and a little-known Calabrian Arbëreshë music group called Moti I Parë. The show groups together a collection of both well-known and rare records mostly from the 60s and 70s with very different themes, such as love, the struggle of South Italian's working class and the hardship and nostalgia of emigrants.

TPS 036 - A BALKAN FOLK ODYSSEY

Luīze details an enveloping, introspective, and emotive soundscape that documents field recording trips to Florence, alongside birdsong imitations, and the undulating harmonic complexities of sacred chorus and ancient folklore. 

At points, this mix feels totally beyond music, while at the same time retaining all the intricacies of feeling that only music can articulate. Deep trïp nrg. 

''...in that new life we shall rest, we shall rest to the songs of the angels in a firmament arrayed in jewels and we'll look down and we'll see evil, all the evil in the world and all our sufferings bathed in a perfect mercy and our lives grown sweet as a caress.''
