Star Creature Vibes Radio - Tim Zawada & Dieter Mit Platten (June 21, 2024)

'Bori-Bana" wich means in mandinka "stop running or the race is over"  is a focus on Guinean artists from the 1970's. Mostly on the Syliphone label, devoted to  instil a sense of national identity by reigniting the arts and cultural practices of Guinea by president Ahmed Sékou Touré. To fulfilling these aims was the government's cultural policy of authenticité, which saw the creation of a network of arts troupes across the nation. Guinean musicians were encouraged to create modern versions of the traditional songs of their respective regions and the authenticité policy produced many outstanding recordings. Formed in 1967, the Syliphone label became the central distributor of Guinean music. I didn't resist to the pleasure of playing the full A side of Bembeya Jazz National "Regards sur le passé" who tells the story of the great Almamy Samoury Touré, the last emperor of the Wassoulou.

Tracklist :

Virtuoses Diabaté : "N'Fa"
Vicky Blain : "Yoni Conakry"
Super Boiro Band : "Sokho Yo"
Camayenne Sofas : "Gbamuyale"
22 Band : "Atoni Yarabi Lema"
Keletigui et ses Tambourinis : "Kebakele"
Bembeya Jazz National : "Regard sur le passé" (part one)

Verse 1]
It wasn’t laughter in the street,
nor dancing lights or victory’s beat.
But in the hush of an aching day,
I felt a warmth that didn’t fade.

[Verse 2]
No trumpets rang, no voices soared,
just a smile I hadn’t worn before.
A quiet flame beneath the grey —
an ember that refused to sway.

[Chorus]
🕯️ Ember of joy, burn low, burn deep,
keep the night from falling asleep.
You’re not loud, but you remain,
a faithful fire in gentle flame.

[Instrumental interlude]
(jemná melódia, možno vibrafón, husle, dream-pop echo)

[Verse 3]
When sorrow knocks or silence grows,
you light a path I didn’t know.
Not all joy is born in gold —
some glows red and never cold.

[Chorus – repeat with harmony]
🕯️ Ember of joy, burn low, burn deep,
keep the night from falling asleep.
You’re not loud, but you remain,
a faithful fire in gentle flame.

[Outro – spoken or whispered]
You stay…
when everything else fades.
And that is joy.

[ instrumental outro, piano solo ]

ember of joy

Exclusive to the blog this Friday, comes Mr. Scruff’s extensive set recorded last week at Jæger. It was the legendary DJ’s second visit in as many years and G-Ha & Olanskii were there again to welcome him to their residency and offer the keys to our basement for the entire night. 

Settling into the basement, Mr. Scruff stayed the duration of the night, opening the floor and taking his audience on a journey through the weird and wonderful mind of Mr. Scruff. Nothing is left uncharted in Mr.Scruff’s expansive musical universe, with a varied, yet distinct approach to genre and style that has become his trademark over his considerable career.

You can hear Mr. Scruff plot a course through the night, but he’s clearly moving with the mood and the energy of the room. A stint focussing on the sounds of Reggae and Hip Hop might follow Disco and then transform into Jazz, the experience of the veteran DJ showing a hand in the seamless soundtrack he creates from beginning to end.
