DJ Dolores muestra que en Brasil hay un mundo asombrosamente rico más allá de la samba y la bossa nova. La utilización de elementos de la música popular del noreste de Brasil, mezclados con música electrónica, rock e influencias dub, configura el sello de DJ Dolores, nombre artístico de Helder Aragão. Su andadura comenzó en la ciudad de Recife a finales de los años ochenta. Hasta entonces había sido productor de documentales y diseñador gráfico, pero en los cuatro últimos años Dolores ha dado un paso adelante produciendo su propia música a partir del enorme legado armónico y rítmico de Recife. Su estilo quedó patente en sus primeras remezclas para artistas como Gilberto Gil o Fernanda Porto.
En 1 Real, su último trabajo (2008), combina ritmos tradicionales como el forró (una mezcla de ritmos locales que incorpora el acordeón europeo, la armónica y la zabumba de origen africano), guitarras eléctricas, cajas de ritmo y programación informática. Recupera la música de la Jovem Guarda (el rock brasileño de los años 60) y piezas de músicos de los años ochenta como Cadão Volpato, líder de la banda de culto Fellini. En “Danger Global Warming” cuenta con la colaboración del ex-Stranglers Hugh Cornwell, así como de The Blacksmoke Organisation.

With the Kelebek (The Butterfly) soundtrack, film producer Mahmut Bengi has brought Brian Keane and Omar Faruk Tekbilek together once again to create the music to this mystical and tragic story. The result is remarkable and moving. The score to Kelebek effortlessly flows from East to West, from orchestral score to traditional Turkish music, and into electronic sound design. The music moves just as effortlessly between moods, from mystical to tragic to suspense to folkloric or romantic. Whether it is the fusion of Jazz and red hot Middle Eastern musicianship of "On the Move", the beautiful melodic and harmonic East West mixtures of "Yusuf's Theme", and "Zeynep's Romance", the Turkish folk meets American roots music of "Teacher", the simple and honest oud and guitar collaboration on "Brother to Brother", the new age orchestra and spiritual Ney of "Butterfly", the moving and tragic "Yusuf Prays/Lost Souls" that employs Omar's older brother Haci Ahmet Tekbilek on Duduk with an orchestral adagio, Omar's haunting vocals over a multi layered Harmonium and Glass bed in "Losing Hope", the bizarre and wonderful combination of Richard Hunter's amazing harmonica playing with traditional Middle Eastern folk music in "Street Fair" (based on the Azeri folk song "Menim Canimsan"), or the Dervish updated to hip hop/ electronic trance "Deep Blue", Brian and Omar continue to push the boundaries of musical tradition while simultaneously demonstrating a respect and affection for those traditions and their spiritual origins.
Now in their mid fifties, Brian and Omar have continued growing in their own world's as prominant master musicians. This special two CD soundtrack album for Kelebek (The Butterfly) serves notice that their friendship and musical collaboration also continues to grow, and is truly enduring.

It seems to be a great summer this one. Analogik presents their debut album after some hard working years on the road well, the sea and in the studio hide-away to record the statement of their adventurous music. ‘Søens Folk’ showcases a genre-breaking posture of world music and dubby deepness, freshly mixed with a boatman’s call. The title is a grandiose salute to all proud Men of the Sea. This is truly a redefinition of ‘pirate material’. Denmark’s ‘second capital’ Århus harboured their first two short playing EPs (released exclusively on 10" vinyl by Auditory Designs) and was a well-kept secret amongst DJs and nu jazz connoisseurs. By now the city once again lays ground to their fables from the World Seas. Analogik has settled as a quartet and invited additional guests for this first full cycle. Due to the foursome’s different backgrounds, their music isn’t easily categorised. Asger Strandby is on turntables with scratch’n’efx and armed with a laptop, he also triggers diminutive electronic beats; Jesper Kobberø’s charming guitar melodies is backed up by his flute and air organ; Theis Bror blows a precise and relaxed saxophone; Magnus Damgaard’s bassline is powerful and thick as hell just like his aged beard. Jazz is what brought them together as a band in 2004 but their music reflects on so much more: Dub, electronica, funk, bossa nova and tango is the carefully welted sounds from the Global Village. This is true to the very innovative spirit of Auditory Designs. The first two releases have received massive support on the international downbeat scene, rotating on the turntables of big DJs who don’t need any further introduction; Mixmaster Morris, Quantic, Guadi and Japans finest; Fantastic Plastic Machine. The second release "Analogik For Perlehøns" was nominated as release of the year by Danish World Music Awards.

CESARIA EVORA "Nha Sentimento" Après 3 années d’attente, Cesaria Evora nous offre « NHA SENTIMENTO » (Mes Sentiments), le 26 octobre prochain - 14 titres inédits entre coladeras et mornas qui font rêver et bouger aux rythmes du Cap-Vert.Enregistré au printemps 2009 entre Mindelo, dans l’île de São Vicente, et Paris, l’album est produit par José da Silva pour le label Lusafrica et arrangé par Nando Andrade, le pianiste et chef d’orchestre de Cesaria. Dans « Nha Sentimento », un album plus up tempo que les précédents, Nando s’est attaché à retrouver cette façon de jouer des percussions particulière aux musiciens de Mindelo dans les années 50 et 60, bien avant que la musique capverdienne ne commence à s’exporter et se laisser influencer par de nouvelles modes - Il a mené ce travail conjointement avec le percussionniste Tey Santos, qui accompagnait déjà Cesaria lors de sa venue en Europe pour l’enregistrement de « Mar Azul » en 1991. Pour les mornas, José da Silva a souhaité mettre en valeur les influences arabes revendiquées par certains auteurs – notamment Manuel de Novas ou Vasco Martins, en demandant à Fathy Salama d’écrire les arrangements de cordes, enregistrées au Caire avec le Cairo Orchestra qu’il dirige. Cette langueur orientale donne une couleur particulièrement nostalgique à la voix de la Diva.

rhythm harvest - album reviews On his third release, percussionist-extraordinaire Michael Pluznick finds all the pieces meshing perfectly in a dynamite brew of Haitian, Caribbean and West African influences. This animated release features male and female vocals, guitar, trumpet, keyboards and, above all, Pluznick on over 20 rhythm instruments. Joel Lindheimer plays guitar and charango, Robert Powell pedal steel guitar, and Kim Atkinson adds extra touches of percussion on several tracks, while lead vocals (often of a call-and-response nature) are shared between YagbŽ "Oba-llu" Onilu, Lygia Ferra and Pedro DeJesus. Highlights are the swaying "Le Bolero Haitien," "Mozambique," based on a Cuban dance craze in the '60s, the catchy "Rumbacito," and "Giant Step," from traditional music that pays homage to the mountain spirit of the Yoruba people of western Nigeria. While the band is undeniably hot, it's Pluznick who holds the reigns, leading his group through complex, dynamic polyrhythms in this fruitful Rhythm

If you have been looking for a CD with music from Mongolia to round out your world roots collection, I'd recommend Zazal by Egschiglen, a group formed in 1991 by a handful of instrumental students at the Ulaan Baator Conservatory in the capital of Mongolia. This CD contains 13 tracks, including both traditional and contemporary works. It has been four years since the group's previous release, Gobi. Much of this time has been spent in research as well as travel between Mongolia and Southern Germany, where Zazal was recorded.The instruments on Zazal includes the morin khuur, a horse-head violin that is played like a cello. The yoochin is an instrument of the dulcimer family. The ih khuur provides bass while the tobshuur is a two-string lute.

Tom Zé, cofundador del movimiento tropicalista junto con Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa y Maria Bethânia, es uno de los compositores e intérpretes más influyentes en la corriente musical del Brasil actual precisamente por sus discos experimentales editados en los años 70 y 80.
Injustamente desconocido del gran público, en 1990 es “redescubierto” por David Byrne, quien edita un recopilatorio en dos volúmenes de Tom Zé, a través de su sello Luaka Bop: The Best of Tom Zé (Brazil Classics 4) y The Hips of Tradition (Brazil Classics 5), con gran éxito entre público y crítica.

Caetano Veloso publicó esta sofisticada colección de piezas cálidas bajo la batuta de su inseparable Jaques Morelenbaum, arreglista, chelista y productor de la discografía de Caetano. Noites do Norte incluye 12 canciones entre la bosa y la samba más pausada, salpicadas de percusión y guitarras caribeñas, también con temas muy cercanos al pop más jazzero y con la utilización de las guitarras como pared sonora orquestal, acercando la música popular a la sinfónica.
Los experimentos de voz y percusión son una característica transversal del disco. Versiona un fragmento sobre la esclavitud de Joaquin Nabuco (“Noites do Norte”), “Zumbi” de Jorge Ben e incluye temas deliciosos como la celebración “13 de Maio”, “Sou seu Sabiá” o la pieza “Michelangelo Antonioni”, su enésimo recuerdo al cine, donde se acompaña de una orquesta de cámara para tocar el aroma que desprenden las películas del director italiano. Todo esto concluye en un disco para altas temperaturas, las que disfrutan los cuerpos de las fotos que Mario Cravo Neto exhibe en el CD, que se acaba con “Tempestades Solares”, una oración que implora el recuerdo infinito del verano.

Al-Yaman is the Arabic name for the Republic of Yemen. Some say it means blessing and prosperity (al-yumn), others say it means on the right hand side of the Kaaba (yumna). The right hand side is a symbol of good fortune for Arabians, and this is in agreement with Arabia Felix which is the old geographer's name for the country. And we're lucky to have the group Al-Yaman from Prague. Singer Ashwaq Abdulla Kulaib came from Aden to study in the Czechian capital in 1990 and she stayed. She had been guest singer with Hypnotix before, here she is in the centre. Right by her side is Ales Hyvnar (Al-esh) who is the band's composer and keyboard player. Furthermore sharing the band experience, Jonathan Omer is an Israeli drummer, Bashar Ashhab a Palestinian darbuka player, Jan Hais a Czech bass player, and Tomas Reindl a multi-talent on tabla, didgeridoo and percussion. Al-Yaman is inspired by popular and traditional songs from the Arabic world, mostly of Yemen. They are fusing acoustic instruments and electronics, traditional tunes and modern dance rhythms and elements - and to great effect, dancers and listeners alike. And if that wasn't modern enough, two tracks had been remixed by Hypnotix and Transglobal Underground. Sounds from 1001 Nights as you never heard it before.

Michael Gordon Oldfield, nacido el 15 de mayo de 1953 en Reading, Inglaterra, es un compositor, multi-instrumentista y productor británico.El padre del músico, Raymond Oldfield, adquirió una guitarra cuando servía en la Royal Air Force en Egipto durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Mike recuerda cómo su padre "solía tocar la guitarra cada Nochebuena, cantando la única canción que sabía tocar, 'Danny Boy'". Mike también atribuyó el hecho de que su interés por la música despertara tan pronto al virtuoso guitarrista Bert Weedon: "Le vi en la tele cuando tenía siete años y enseguida convencí a mi padre para que me comprara mi primera guitarra. De hecho, creo que de no haber sido por Bert nunca hubiera llegado a ser lo principal en mi vida".
Los Oldfield se convirtieron en una familia ligada a la música: el hermano mayor de Mike, Terry Oldfield, es un compositor de prestigio en el campo de la música para documentales televisivos, y tiene varios álbumes en el mercado; su hermana, Sally Oldfield, consiguió un gran éxito a principios de los 80 con el tema vocal Mirrors, y en la actualidad continúa en activo.
A la edad de 10 años, Mike ya componía piezas instrumentales para guitarra acústica. La guitarra era para él más que un instrumento, era una vía de escape de una situación familiar que fue empeorando y apartándolo del mundo exterior durante mucho tiempo. A lo largo de esa década, la escena musical acústica había gozado de muy buena salud, debido al resurgimiento de la cultura folclórica británica que tuvo lugar en las décadas anteriores. Fue en uno de los muchos clubes dedicados a este movimiento donde el joven Mike empezó a darse cuenta de que su virtuosismo musical era del agrado del público.
"Solía tener dos instrumentales de 15 minutos cada uno, que tocaba en los clubes de folk locales en los que iba repasando todos los estilos", decía. "Incluso desafinaba las cuerdas totalmente y las doblaba sobre el mástil y hacía todo tipo de cosas. En cuanto me daban vacaciones en la escuela, pasaba la semana entera practicando y tocando la guitarra". Probó también con la música eléctrica, tocando piezas instrumentales de The Shadows en un grupo amateur.
Cuando Mike cumplió 13 años, la familia Oldfield se trasladó a Romford, Essex. En 1967 dejó la escuela y junto con su hermana Sally formó The Sallyangie, un dúo folk-hippie de voz y guitarra. Firmaron por la compañía Transatlantic, que les editó el álbum "Children of the Sun" en 1968 y el single Two Ships en 1969. Por esta época el toque de guitarra de Mike fue fuertemente influido por el "folk barroco" popularizado por John Renbourn, líder de Pentangle y Bert Jansch. Después de un año, llegó el fin de Sallyangie.

Alkinoos Ioannidis (Greek: Αλκίνοος Ιωαννίδης; born September 19, 1969) is a Greek-Cypriot composer, lyricist, singer and orchestrator.
He was born in Nicosia on 19 September 1969. His artistic family, with a painter father and poet brother was a source of inspiration for him. He first wanted to study drums, but couldn't due to the lack of a drum teacher in Nicosia. Instead, he studied guitar.
For the first 20 years of his life, he lived in a Nicosia suburb. After his military service, he went off to Greece to study theatre. He also entered the Philosophical School of Athens, which he later gave up. He was more successful in his theatre studies where he played some major roles in well known Greek tragedies such as Alcestis.
At the age of 23 he recorded his first album called Stin Agora Tou Kosmou (Greek: Στην Αγορά Του Κόσμου, In The World's Market) with lyrics and music written by Nikos Zoudiaris. This demo tape eventually reached the hands of a well known singer, Dimitra Galani. She instantly became fond of their music and Alkinoos' voice and helped them get a record deal.
Alkinoos and Zoudiaris followed with another album called Opos Mistika Kai Isicha (Greek: Οπως Μυστικά Και Ήσυχα, As Secretly and Quietly). Both albums turned gold.
