Natural es un proyecto musical que desarrolla Adolfo Arteta VIllar desde 2008, con el objetivo de generar una interacción entre géneros musicales de África, el Caribe y Colombia.

En este link https://soundcloud.com/natural-art/sets/natural-ep, puedes escuchar además de los dos primeros sencillos Destellos y Olas, el último que se titula "Yuma", una champeta de la buena, la cual es un homenaje al Río Grande de la Magdalena, siendo Yuma un término de los chibchas que significa "río amigo", llamándole así a nuestra arteria cultural y fluvial del país.

Asimismo, la canción parte del objetivo de promover nuestra tradición musical proveniente de ritmos africanos como el soukous, entre otros, plasmados décadas tras décadas en los imponentes tótems del ritmo que conocemos como "picós" y su hábitat, "la verbena", ambos endémicos de la región caribe colombiana.

Stitched-Back Foot Airman were the true chameleons of post-punk indie alternative pop, rock and experimentation. The three-piece toured regularly during the mid-eighties and dazzled audiences by swapping instruments for virtually every song. This was borne out of their song-writing process, all three members writing songs, but also creating songs, riffs and instrumentals by swapping instruments and improvising regularly. 
Simon Vincent, Robin Vincent and Mike Farmer aka ‘Stitch’, released their debut vinyl EP ‘7 Egg-timing Greats’ in 1986 and later that year the ‘Wouldn’t You Like to Know?’ EP to critical acclaim. Regular plays on the John Peel show and gigs with the likes of Stump*, A Witness, The Mekons, Jah Wobble, The Chills, The Shop Assistants, Primal Scream, Mo Tucker and The Stars of Heaven - fuelled interest from Indie labels and the band eventually signed for the Manchester label In Tape. 
*Guitarist Chris Salmon joined us on stage for the encore ‘Invented by Robots’ at the Fridge (Jah Wobble, Stump, Stitched Back Foot Airman)
The sound? Influences abound, but could never be pinned down (see Robin Gibson’s Sounds review of their gig at the Bull and Gate with Half Man Half Biscuit) – there were obvious shades of 60s (the melodies, the harmonies), but also the later psychedelia and guitar histrionics. There were hints of Talking Heads and XTC, but also African soukous, thrash, grunge, swamp, rap and Glam (check out ‘Badcake’). At times Simon and Robin’s song-writing was unmistakable and had matured from the earlier offerings in ‘Games To Avoid’ and ‘Greeting Number 4’. There were mysterious, emotional and disturbing instrumentals – always a feature of the live shows and recordings alike (hear ‘Marie Celeste on Manic and Global). 
The tracks featured span the yard – from the early 80’s to roughly 1993 when the band stopped playing live. 
Later gigs were augmented by drummer Dave Atkin (formerly drumming with Simon in ‘Games to Avoid’) and Dave Murrell on bass (now living and working in Germany). 
After signing with In Tape the band released several EPs (‘Shake Up’, ‘Costa del Sol’, ‘Business Politician’, ‘Big Mess’) and their first album ‘Manic and Global’.

PS  We were there! – tracks on  the re-issued C86 and forthcoming C87 – crucial times!

I'm obsessed with classic 70's Zairean and Ghanaian music. While reggae, salsa, and bossa nova have had great crossover success in the US, soukous and highlife never got their day in the sun. Northern Thorns is my attempt to introduce these sounds into the western, English-speaking lexicon, through my own experience as an American rock and jazz musician and composer.
