songs about the unity of sudan. peace between muslims and christians and the fate of war orphans. backed by grooves equally taking influence from arabic sounds. american funk as well as neighboring ethiopia. kamal keila was among the first artist we met in sudan during our two trips to khartoum and omdurman last year. he is one of the key figures of the sudanese jazz scene that was a vital part of the musical culture in sudan from the mid 1960s until the islamist revolution in the late 1980s. when we meet kamal he luckily presented us with two mold covered studio reels. each tape included five tracks. one with english lyrics and another with arabic ones. musically you can hear the influence of neighboring ethiopia much more than on other sudanese recordings of the time. as well as references to fela and american funk and soul. his lyrics. at least when he sings in english which gave him more freedom from censorship. are very political. a brave statement in the political climate of sudan of the last decades. preaching for the unity of sudan. peace between muslims and christians and singing the blues about the fate of war orphans called shmasha. a note inside one of the boxes specified the track titles. durations and the fact that the sessions were recorded on the 12th of august 1992. both sessions stand as a hearable testament how kamal keila stuck to a sound aesthetic from decades ago. while incorporating current events into his lyrics. kamal keilas album is the first in a series of releases covering the sudanese jazz scene on habibi funk. be on the lookout for albums by the scorpions and sharhabeel coming soon.

since the release of their critically acclaimed debut album in 2013 on names you can trust. la mecánica popular has quietly been contemplating the evolution of the group s sound. philosophy. and overall approach to making music. band leader efraín rozas experimental nature has continually pushed the boundaries of his own definition of not only latin american music. but its broader relationship with music s global culture and history. the sound of -psychedelic salsa- that lmp helped capture in their debut was destined for further outside-the-box interpretations. and with the formation of a new quintet lineup over the last few years. lmp began to incorporate a more free. improvised and instrumental-focused performance of rozas increasingly radical compositions. the band subsequently took this liberated approach directly into the studio. recording roza cruz live. in its entirety. it was a cathartic experience. a necessary methodology for the new album s concept that embraced the intimate performance of its players and did away with standard techniques of isolation and overdubs. the evolution of the band s sound on roza cruz brings forth a blend of styles rarely heard together. a touch reminiscent of electric-era miles davis or eddie palmieri at his most experimental. as the driving force of timbales and congas provide a bed for a wave of lush. analog amplification that mirrors the dueling leads of fuzz guitar and electric piano. but as far out as those instruments take the listener. the raw rhythm the clave always keeps it tethered to the earth and the dance. a cerebral yet visceral gift for the mind and feet.

rather than rely on their usual full band. live performance. one-room live single recording session. the making of ‘dragonz’ was a departure for the apples. a multi-studio project spanning three continents. they assembled new instrumental tracks based on loops created in the studio and presented them to a wide-ranging selection of vocal collaborators to complete the picture with. and applied this method to the capturing of longstanding live favourites as well. the concept of a “vocal album” was implemented on non-vocalist songs as well. treating the omnipresent turntables’ sample work not as the central element to the band. but rather its frontman. though containing disparate influences. guests and production methods. ‘dragonz’ is undeniably apples. might be their most focused lp to date. and it is certainly their most middle-eastern. elements of the region’s indigenous genres have always been present in the band’s work. but never has their influence been as pronounced.

soundway releases new compilation of rare 1980s south african ‘bubblegum’ & boogie
in 1980s black south africa a local form of pop music evolved as the disco boom died down and slowly mutated. it was often ubiquitously described as bubblegum - usually stripped-down and lo-fi with a predominance of synths. keyboards and drum-machines and overlaid with the kind of deeply soulful trademark vocals and harmonies that south african music is famous for. compilers miles cleret (soundway) and dj okapi (afrosynth records) present a selection of 18 rare. handpicked 1980s cuts that highlight the period that nestles in between the ‘70s (where american-influenced jazz. funk and soul bumped shoulders with local mbaqanga) and the ‘90s when kwaito and eventually house-music ruled the dancefloors of urban south africa.
