Kemal Begtaş?: “Personne qui est à l'origine… One of a kind…”
A keen Cretan and a remediless archivist of Smyrna at last makes a coming out with his debut official EP by underlining his interest in Native American culture while kickin’ up some dark dirt and dust with a little help from his friend; a local axe, Alper Uzun.

Wowovka EP

Wowovka - Kemal Begtaş

We just released @babaloustudio / @musicbykees debut EP; Hatari EP is an international collaboration between Baba Lou (Kees van Driel, multi-
instrumentalist/producer from Amsterdam) and two amazing Tanzanian vocalists, Agutu and Rose.

In late 2021, Kees moved his studio to Tanzania, to live in the African countryside for a year. He recognised some serious vocal talent amongst the local hospital staff and crafted a four-track EP.
Combining a wide variety of genres, Hatari EP is a recollection of experiences from East Africa told in lyrical melodies and infectious grooves.

Humbling testimonies from the hospital, the abundant wildlife in the outskirts of the Serengeti; Hatari EP draws inspiration from life in rural Africa. But also from the vibrant nightlife in the area and the sheer beauty of the environment.

Hatari Na Nusu

This song was written in 2021 as I contemplated, from my non aboriginal perspective, the power and inspiration of the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
I asked my Darug friend Stacy Etal to translate and sing the first verse of the song in Darug language. 
Stacy says: 
Translating into Darug language isn’t an easy task. Due to our language nearly being lost there are many gaps in our vocabulary and certain English words were not used by Darug speakers. As a Community, Darug people are now working on rediscovering our language with the help of linguists and members of the Darug Custodian Aboriginal Corporation and the Dharug Ngurra Aboriginal Corporation. 
I have translated the words in Verse 1 into an aboriginal perspective and the words are the closest translation I have been able to come up with in consultation with my language teacher Jasmine Seymour.  The words are:
Bayady’u budbudin
I spoke from the heart 
Gumbady’u yaragulgu 
I shouted it clean 
Bayady’u budbudin
I spoke from the heart 
Ngarabami yagu
You will hear now

We hope you will sing this song loud and clear! You can find resources for choirs and community singing groups here: http://bit.ly/Voicesong
Enjoy - Suze & Stacy :-)

Arima Soul "Arima Du (DJ Farrapo Remix)"

This track is similar to a lullaby, and accompanies our character in his deep sleep. We can hear nature sounds like the sound of rain or wind in the trees, creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere. The melody is simple but warm and it allows our character to be lulled into a peaceful sleep. This track reprensents the end of the day and at the same time finishes the album.

Lullaby

The latest release from "Matasuna Records" is the result of a transatlantic connection between the USA and Germany, whose common denominator is the love for Brazilian music. The journey started 17 years ago when the German musical duo "Dubben" got in touch with the late American musician "Victor Meshkovsky". Almost two decades later, the Dubben interpretations of two songs that he once released with his band "Made in Brasil" on his own "Nucleus" label are now available! The second Dubben 7-inch on Matasuna features their great versions of the songs "Grilos Cantam Para Anamaria" and "One Two-Two" with a captivating vocal contribution by singer "María del Rossario". The 7-inch includes an inlay with detailed liner notes by Dubben about the background of this release.

When Victor heard about Dubben's intention to reinterpret his version of the "Marcos Valle" classic Grilos Cantam Para Anamaria, he immediately loved the idea. This version is raw and funky, according to the original plan, with "Christina Joy's" original vocals isolated from the 1975 album. Bassist "MC Scholze" lifts the down-to-earth chord changes up into souljazz territories, while the typical ingredients of the Dubben sound – brass and percussion feeding tape delays and spring reverb chambers – happily groove along.

Originally a psyched-out proggy-ish Brasil track, Dubben takes Victor's composition "One Two-Two", puts it in a box and sends it to Colombia. Of course, the parcel gets stuck on its way, much to the delight of the audience. A slow Cumbia burner with 100% organic ingredients: straight bass drum, fender bass, springy guitars, a detuned Italian organ and tons of improvised percussion, performed and recorded by the band themselves. Finally, "María del Rossario's" vocal contribution, in both English and Spanish, is more than just the icing on the cake - it's the Latin soul of the track. ¡Un dos-dos!

"Victor Meshkovsky" (*1938 Shanghai; ✝2017 San Francisco) was an entrepreneur, painter, dancer, producer/founder of "Nucleus Records", and gifted drummer/percussionist who dedicated his life to the arts. While his role as drummer/percussionist for his friend, organ genius "Walter Wanderley", might be not that well known, his self-produced and self-released albums with his band "Made In Brasil" (not to be confused with the other "Made In Brasil") have become undisputed classics among music lovers, collectors and DJs. Thanks for the music, Victor!
