Babatunde Olatunji - Drums of Passion (1959) (Nigeria)

Posted by Taraletti on 15:20

Babatunde Olatunji (1927-2003) fue un percusionista nigeriano, educador, activista social y artista de grabacion... esa pequeña introducción creo que pequeña introducción les da el pie a este maravilloso disco lanzado en el año 59 y que desde aquel entonces vendio 5 millones de copias

Reseña de ALLMUSIC (en inglés)

Having come to the U.S. from his native Nigeria to study medicine, percussionist Babatunde Olatunji eventually became one of the first African music stars in the States. He also soon counted jazz heavyweights like John Coltrane ("Tunji") and Dizzy Gillespie among his admirers (Gillespie had, a decade earlier, also courted many Cuban music stars via his trailblazing Latin jazz recordings). And, in spite of it being viewed by some as a symbol of African chic, Drums of Passion is still a substantial record thanks to Olatunji's complex and raw drumming. Along with a cadre of backup singers and two other percussionists, Olatunji works through eight traditional drum and chorus cuts originally used to celebrate a variety of things in Nigeria: "Akiwowo" and "Shango" are chants to a train conductor and the God of Thunder, respectively, while "Baba Jinde" is a celebration of the dance of flirtation and "Odun De! Odun De!" serves as a New Year's greeting. The choruses do sound a bit overwrought and even too slick at times (partly due to the fact that most of the singers are not African), but thankfully the drumming is never less than engaging. The many curious world music fans who are likely to check this album out should also be sure to look into even better African drumming by native groups like the Drummers of Burundi and the percussion outfits featured on various field recordings. [The 2002 CD reissue on Columbia/Legacy adds the track "Menu Di Ye Jewe (Who Is This?)", which was recorded at one of the 1959 sessions for the album, but was previously unissued in the US.]

Kaleta and Zozo Afrobeat - Country of Guns (EEUU) (2008)

Posted by Taraletti on 11:15

Kaleta es un musico nacido en la Republica de Benin, criado en Nigeria en donde fue influenciado en gran manera por el rey del afrobeat, Fela Anikulapo Kuti. Al trasladarse a Estados Unidos forma la Zozo Afrobeat, Zozo es tomado del dialecto Gon y Fon que significa "algo caliente".

Las letras de Kaleta al igual que las de Fela son altamente criticas y combativas. El canta en Yoruba, Gon, Fon y francés.

En fin, una curiosidad de como el afrobeat trasciende fronteras, es algo que (al igual que la Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra) puede dejar anonadado a cualquier

Posted by Edgard on 13:26

El Kronos Quartet es un maravilloso (si esta palabra puede definirlo) cuarteto de cuerdas estadounidense fundado por el violinista David Harrington y especializado en la interpretación no solo de música contemporanea (a interpretado a Piazzolla, Reich, etc) sino que ha revolucionado el panorama de la música “culta” rompiendo todas las barreras. Esto es una muestra de ello.
