Loving this. Lying on my back. In bed. Syncopation joining dream space. 

From the outback of Brazil to the favelas of Adelaide, Xanga hurls bolts of lightning at the people chosen to be his followers, leaving behind imprints of stone axe blades on the Earth's crust. 
With a collection of ambulant drum patterns and raw junk-box rhythms Xanga set the mood for a party. A real party. Forget the deep basslines and moody melodics for a second and put yourself in the hands of these propitious shamans of movement. 
Baile funk saw its rise in the international spotlight around the mid 2000's. It then faded back into the shadows not too long after... what we tend to forget that it still existed and continued to thrive, grow and develop in its homelands and even abroad…. This is where it is at now - the energy is still the same but the ideas are forward thinking whilst still honest to their roots - the roots of the party and the people that built it.

Collage is a compilation of 4 original tracks by Roscius, all composed, performed and produced shortly after live dates in Beirut, Lebanon, Limassol and Nicosia, Cyprus in 2016. 

From political speeches to street soundscapes, each track is made of layers and loops of live improvisations on percussion, piano and marimba, then edited and mixed. No midi, no readymade sound-bank, nor sample from other records have been used, only DIY recordings.

After his acclaimed debut « Cotonou » on Alma Negra’s record label, James Stewart comes back with his new EP « Atlantic River Drive » for Mawimbi Records, featuring two collaborations with Ghanaian kologo musician Ayuune Sule as well as two remixes from Simbad aka SMBD.

James Stewart met Ghanaian kologo musician Ayuune Sule, after booking several shows of kologo music star King Ayisoba in Lyon. Stewart was quick to witness the bluesy tone of Ayuune’s voice and his kindness as a musician, despite his impressive stature. Quite logically, Stewart invited Sule to record vocals on two of his ongoing demos at Bruno Patchworks’ recording studio (Voilaaa, Mr. President, Da Break), with the idea of making a rather unheard crossover between traditional kologo music and contemporary styles that would both appeal to Ghanaian crowds and a Western audience. Stewart then had a number of his arrangement ideas re-recorded by a talented cast of musicians (see list of credits), resulting in a brilliant mix of acoustic and electronic textures, sounding both vintage and modern.

Nodding to Eddie Palmieri’s landmark record “Harlem River Drive”, “Atlantic River Drive” is a stomping dancefloor track, drawing from the 6/8 feel of kologo music and the energy of contemporary club music. The track can be read as a tribute to the musical cross-pollinations between the African continent and its many diasporas, which Stewart has dedicated a long part of his life to, while also a more intimate story about his life and family. All words were written by Stewart and then translated by Sule in his native Fra fra language from Northern Ghana. 
 
“Where Are You Going?” is a two-part journey that reminds us that we should care about each other, about our communities while we don’t know what the future is made of. An important and much welcome message to navigate through these troubled, uncertain times. Referencing N’dombolo music, the track has two parts and rich arrangements, with its first part going deep with syncopated clarinet hooks and playful percussion parts, and its second part moving to a four-on-the-floor pattern and an entrancing baritone saxophone solo. 
 
The EP also features Worldwide FM and Brownswood maestro Simbad, who delivers two dancefloor-ready reworks of the track “Where Are We Going?” under his SMBD moniker, turning it into a spiritual, dubby journey, as well as an emotional peaktime track.

James Stewart est l'hôte, DJ résident et co-promoteur de la soirée mensuelle "Black Atlantic Club" au Sucre à Lyon. Empruntant le terme «Atlantique noir» du livre de 1993 du savant renommé Paul Gilroy, Stewart présente la «musique noire» comme un échange culturel transnational incroyablement diversifié. Conférencier avide sur le sujet et fondateur du Blog Afrosouldescarga, il fusionne une approche intellectuelle avec le côté musical et créatif des choses: en tant que joueur de conga et percussionniste actif, membre de Voilaaa Sound System et showhost à Radio Nova.

Deux ans après leur rencontre, Mawimbi révèle enfin sa collaboration avec Ghetto Kumbé (ZZK Records), trio mêlant les rythmes afro-colombiens à l’électronique ! « El Caribe » est la seconde composition originale signée des mains du collectif Mawimbi, ainsi que le premier extrait issu de leur premier album, dont la sortie est prévue pour le début de l’année 2021.

Irradiant les scènes européennes de leur énergie irrésistible au cours d’une tournée durant l’été 2018, le trio colombien Ghetto Kumbé établit alors son camp de base à Paris. A l’initiative de leur manager Olivier Maligorne, une rencontre est organisée avec le collectif Mawimbi. Une session studio s’en suit aux côtés de Clément Vincent (Pouvoir Magique), avec l’objectif de
laisser libre cours à leur passion commune pour la fusion afro-électronique. Mawimbi et Ghetto Kumbé se croisent à nouveau à l’occasion de plusieurs concerts et festivals, avant de retourner en studio un an plus tard, afin d’enregistrer de nouvelles idées et de donner au morceau sa forme finale.
Le résultat de ces sessions en studio est un vrai hit « crossover », qui pourrait bien ravir le cœur des amateurs de disques tropicaux, autant que celui du grand public. Puisant dans le dancehall et la cumbia, « El Caribe » est un hommage brûlant aux rythmes afros de la côte caribéenne colombienne. De mélodies vocales entêtantes en mariages de percussions
épicées, « El Caribe » alterne entre douce nostalgie et allégresse pure, évoquant une enfance passée aux bords des caraïbes qui ne les quittera jamais.
