PRESENTS THE CHISA YEARS 1965 - 1975 (2LP)
2x12 Inch
23.05.18
the chisa years: 1965–1975 (rare and unreleased) is a compilation album by south african jazz trumpeter hugh masekela. the album consists of 14 rare or forgotten tracks recorded by stewart levine and hugh masekela from 1965 to 1975 when they ran their own chisa records label. thom jurek of allmusic wrote “in sum, there isn’t a weak moment on this entire collection. it’s appeal is wide and deep and one can only hope this is the first of many volumes of this material to appear. bbe records has done a stellar job in making this slab available.” dan nishimoto of the prefix magazine stated “the compilation focuses on masekela’s original idea of “african american music.” from the early experiments of the zulus (a group featuring m’bulu) in mixing doo-wop, rhythm & blues and south african gospel and the mbaqanga/”grazing in the grass”-style work of the generically named johannesburg street band to the clearly fela-influenced ojah (masekela’s band in the mid-’70s, consisting of players from ghana and nigeria) and the readyfor-primetime belting of m’bulu, each track reveals a multi-pronged effort to find and challenge the notion(s) of how african and american cultural forms could interact.”

die vielgepriesenen multiinstrumentalisten der menahan street band veröffentlichen ihr zweites album the crossing auf dem daptone records-ableger dunham records. der titeltrack des albums hatte seine premiere am 1. august auf rollingstone.com.
neben ihrer rolle als offizielle hausband des brooklyner labels dunham records hat die menahan street band bereits 2008 ein erstes album veröffentlicht, dass nicht nur von den kritikern bejubelt wurde sondern auch deshalb von sich reden macht, weil es so oft gesampelt wurde, wie kaum eine andere zeitgenössische funk- oder soul-platte. samples von made the road by walking finden sich unter anderem in songs von weltbekannten kollegen wie jay-z, 50 cent, kid cudi und vielen anderen. 2011 spielte die band no time for dreaming, das debüt-album der soul-sensation charles bradley ein den sie auf seiner welt-tournee auch als backingband begleiteten. das album wurde co-komponiert und produziert von mbs-gründungsmitglied thomas brenneck.
