We don't know much about Ponty Mython, but their sound is right at home on this eclectic record. A freeform flea-market of samples strewn around a broken beat, strung together around a catchy melody, 'Pinto La Meah' has an optimistic feel, a subtly nostalgic sense of travel and discovery that suits the global groove collecting theme.

Ponty Mython - Pinto La Meah

Included on the Plastic World compilation Volume 1 :

This is a track i wrote depicting the drive down a stretch of highway between Canberra & Braidwood. Its a pretty sad sight actually - one of the most dangerous places to be a wombat or kangaroo - with hundreds of them killed on that stretch of road every week. This one goes out to all those little wild fellas just trying to mind their business.

Pauline began with a career as a DJ and over time she switched to writing music
"Ethnosound of various geographical spaces (in particular, Afro-Voodoo-Arab) always works as a source of inspiration. Now I am working hard on the project, which consists in “introducing” cymbals (Belarusian folk instruments) into electronic music, and this already looks like a search for a Belarusian ethnic group.
I especially like to extract sounds from everything related to the microphone)
As for this track, this is my first release. Everything is recorded in my home studio (drums, pipes, harp ..). The track was created quickly: in a few weeks,  with inspiration from afro music and this atmosphere

Golden Bug & in Fields - Ground (Feat. Phoebe Coco)

Mîro and Îrfo AKA Mekîne Û Teksî, well known by their releases on Themes For Great Cities and Highlife and various reworks/remixes they have done, made their contribution to this charity project organized by Turkish, Istanbul based Müstesna Records.
Müstesna Records’ VA “shelTer” album with the contributions of 25 artists willing to provide financial support for creating national and international awareness about the trans murders and trans suicides in Turkey, where has the highest trans murder rate in Europe. Its income will be transferred to “Eylül Cansın Trans Guest House" which was founded by the Istanbul LGBTI Solidarity Association and named after Eylül Cansın, a transgender person who committed suicide January 2015, was accommodating 11 people almost all of whom have immigration experiences until its closure due to infrastructural and security reasons. Eylül Cansın Trans Guest House, which is in search of a new place, aims to move quickly and then to evolve into a system, with a policy that will strengthen its guests, in which anyone can live without a need of the guesthouse. The ”shelTer” album will generate income for the guesthouse to find a new home and a healthier environment after renting, repairing and so on. It also aims to raise national and international awareness that Trans murders and suicides are political.
German duo presents a perfect piece of giving goosebumps acid-alarmed poem "Fremde" what's exactly meaning is : "Far Abroad" which perfectly fits in their postanatolian cosmos. It is noteworthy that the vocal of the grandfather of one of the duo, kurdish chanting artist Seydo, was used posthumously in this track. A masterpiece which found his place absolutely in the right case of this noble mission. 25 track digital record is out now, buy here: https://mustesnarecords.bandcamp.com/album/va-shelter?fbclid=IwAR3G-oHZ3iJX-dsGQQ6lrU5Anl5DqEpw5_61ThE1H2MBrHmGK3xjDgOHQLY

In May 2019, Lion's Drums recorded an album at a Kogis' (Kagabas*) village, in the Sierra Nevada mountain of Santa Marta in Colombia.

Kagabas are indigenous people who consider themselves to be the guardians of the Earth and are concerned by the modern world's attempts to destroy it. The mountain - in Colombia - is their home, it is quite literally a microcosm, a mirror of the planet in which every ecological zone is represented. The damaging lifestyles which stems from the capitalistic dogma are affecting their environment and from their vantage point on the mountain they can see how this is straining the rest of the planet. 

Singing is a staple feature of the Kagabas culture, it is considered as a way to connect with the environment. There are for example a song of the monkey, of the deer, snake, laughing or even death - singing is a way for the Kagabas to feel safe around these animals and concepts and to live peacefully among them without fear and without the need to chase them away. As there's no writing, music and singing are a way to pass memory, knowledge and awareness down through generations. 

The ongoing ecological disaster, the uncertainty of the current times and the temptation for many of the youths to leave the mountains for the big city life make this transmission issue all the more critical.

As we exchanged prior to my visit and while I was there, the recording and sharing of these songs was a recurring topic and we agreed to have singing at the core of this musical project. 

Lions's Drums was welcomed to spend a week within their community to record this album. I spent most of the time there with the Máma of the village (Mámas are spiritual and intellectual guides that keep the memory of the civilization) and his son Camilo, with help from Franz who has been working with the Kagabas for about 15 years now as part of the Native organization which he runs.

This album combines songs, field recordings of the village and of its surrounding nature, as well as musical compositions he made in his studio. They liked the result and approved this album to be released. Fully aware of the responsibility the Kagabas have entrusted him with. he decided to self release this album and will give all the benefits to the Nativa organization to support its fight for the replanting of trees and getting land back.

* Widely known as « Kogis », the name they were given to by the « civilised man », they actually call themselves « Kagaba ».
