Les Bantous De La Capitale - Best Of - Ndoundou - 60's Rumba from Congo.Created in august 1959 by former musicians from Orchestre T.P.O.K. Jazz and Orchestre Rock A Mambo,this band was one of the most famous Congolese rumba band in the early 60's.

For the last decade, Argentina has become the epicenter of a musical explosion that characteristically blends folk music from the surrounding Andes and electronic beats. The artist arguably responsible for its emergence on a global platform is one named Chancha Via Circuito- a Buenos Aires native named Pedro Canale whose first album Rodante (2008) opened the floodgates by pushing the borders of Cumbia listeners weren't even aware existed. He's gone on to release other highly acclaimed albums such as Rio Arriba (2010), which Resident Advisor described as 'aural magical realism', and Amansara (2014), which catapulted him onto acclaimed international stages and received praises from Pitchfork to the New York Times.Four years later, in the midst of some very notable global turbulence, Chancha Via Circuito brings us his highly anticipated new album Bienaventuranza- a word that essentially means bliss. Replete with his signature touches of Andean instruments (think lots of flute and charango), the folkloric elements on this album blend fluidly with danceable and digestible electronic beats. He's been cooking this record slowly, with unprecedented amounts of care and in a much more collaborative manner than his past albums.Appearing on the album are heavy hitters in the digital cumbia scene, including Mateo Kingman, Kaleema, and Lido Pimienta, all of whom contribute their highly distinguishable sounds to the natural flow of the album. Most of these collaborations came about almost effortlessly. La Victoria is a track that blends cumbia, dancehall, and a bit of mysticism- carried by Lido Pimienta's luminous voice, Colombian Dancehall wizard Manu Ranks happened to be in town and slipped into the song naturally. Kawa Kawa came from an improv jam during rehearsal one day with Kaleema (Heidi Lewandowski) and Federico Estevez (percussionist in Chancha Via Circuito). Niño Hermoso, which is lyrically a fable, sounds the way it does because Pedro saw a video of Gianluz (Gianluca Zonzini), who he knows from dance classes, singing a Pocahontas song on Youtube.As dancefloor-friendly as it is mystical, Bienaventuranza is as Chancha as it gets- with elements from Cumbia to Dancehall to Andean Folk to Global house, crystal clear production, and collaborations that are evidently natural and genuine, the record holds true to the sound that Canale has played such a huge part in creating. Since the release of his last album, the digital folk scene has also grown exponentially. From a new generation of producers to more listeners in unassuming parts of the globe, Pedro has been humbled to see the sound develop- and proves with this album that he's grown swiftly alongside it.

Panoram long awaited return, Anova, is an hymn to the vacant mind. Digital vocalisms and fragmented musical thoughts push the listening to the edge of the brain dancefloor.car commercials are blown on repeat by the wind of conscience.

Belle copie w/ inner sleeve. Pressage français. Avec Green, Steve Hillage renoue avec ses deux premiers albums, avec des titres space et des spirales de synthétiseurs. Mention spéciale au très funky Unidentified (Flying Being) et à The Glorious Om Riff, reprise de Master builder de Gong, paru en 1974 sur You. C'est le dernier album rock réussi de sa période solo, avant une nette baisse de qualité sur les opus suivants, hormis Live Herald et l'ambiant Rainbow Dome Musick. C'est un des albums préférés d'Ed Wynne, le guitariste/claviériste d'Ozric Tentacles1.La pochette représente une Pyramide poisson de John Michell, un auteur et peintre britannique qui a un intérêt particulier pour les formes géométriques. Son travail repose sur la figure géométrique Vesica piscis : l'intersection de deux cercles de même diamètre dont le centre de chacun fait partie de la circonférence de l'autre.L'album est d'abord sorti sous la forme d'un vinyle vert transparent, puis sous celle d'un disque noir normal. L'édition verte était assortie d'un poster de Hillage devant une chaine de montagne, avec la "pyramide poisson" imprimée sur le visage2.Cet album se classa à la 30e place des charts britanniques.Steve a beaucoup utilisé une guitare synthétiseur Roland GR-500 sur l'album. On notera la présence de Nick Mason à la batterie sur la pièce Leylines to Glassdom sur le disque original, ainsi que Clive Bunker ex-Jethro Tull, aussi comme batteur sur les 4 pièces bonus enregistrées en concert au Rainbow de Londres, sur la pièce Not Fade Away (Glid Forever).

Located on Nyali Beach, south of Mombasa city lies Mombasa Reef Hotel. Catering westerners to safaris and snorkelling, and providing local acts of art-acts and music, including the hotel's then house band the Mombasa Vikings. A band name undoubtedly suited for the many Nordic tourist that frequently visited. It's not exactly afro-beat more of a hybrid, heavy percussive with a a tip of chakacha rhythm pattern, a flute solo ooozing with jazz sensibility. (Afro7)
