In this episode of MFM Speaks Out, Dawoud Kringle comes out of retirement to present a 2023 retrospective. We will share some of the content we brought to you in 2023, and  enjoy a few other surprises as well.   Our guest for the January episode was Haana.  Haana is a violinist, vocalist, electronic music artist, visual performer, and entirely self-contained as a one-woman orchestra. She played with Kanye West, and Alvin Ailey, as well as festivals such as Joshua Tree Festival and Coachella and others in the US, Canada, UAE, and Australia, Barack Obama's inaugural ball, and at Michael Jordan's wedding. Haana has endorsement deals with Ableton, Native Instruments, Even Headphones (manufactured by Blue Microphones), and Realist Violins. She appeared in ads for Intel, Harvey Nichols, Nike, Ferrari, and Apple Computers. In addition, she has experience as a film composer and does artist mentorship/marketing, branding, and production consultation.  In February, MFM board member and co-producer of this very podcast Adam Reifsteck joined us for a very fascinating discussion. Adam is a New York-based composer, electronic music artist, producer, entrepreneur, and music activist. He writes for small ensembles, produces electronic music, and performs improvised group compositions on Wi-Fi-connected laptops. He has collaborated with string quartets, university choirs, and visual and electronic artists. His approach to composition includes elements of improvisation. He is a recipient of grants from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, the Irving S. Gilmore Foundation, and the Kalamazoo (MI) Community Foundation. His music has been performed by the Attacca Quartet, Amernet String Quartet, Cadillac Moon Ensemble, Duquesne University Chamber Singers, Flutronix, Gaudete Brass Quintet, Mana Saxophone Quartet, Western Michigan University Chorale, and many other ensembles. Adam is also an active recording engineer and producer whose studio alias SONIC FEAR has become synonymous with lush, genre-bending sounds—from dance floor-ready tracks to downtempo meditations. He is the founder and CEO of Teknofonic Recordings, an independent record label and artist development platform providing electronic musicians with learning resources, networking opportunities, and career support. Adam holds a master's of music degree in composition from Western Michigan University and a bachelor's of music in music technology from Duquesne University. He is a member of Broadcast Music Inc., the Society of Composers and Lyricists, the Recording Academy, the Audio Engineering Society, and Musicians for Musicians. Our March episode was a landmark. We interviewed Keyna Wilkins, the first MFM member from Australia. Wilkins holds a Master of Music Composition at Sydney Conservatorium, studied composition, classical and jazz piano, and classical flute with several prestigious instructors, and intuitive conceptual improvisation with Tibetan Buddhist musician Tenzin Cheogyal. holds an MA in Flute Performance at Bristol University (UK) in 2008. She is known as a soloist and leader of cutting-edge ensembles and has written over 60 compositions, including 4 major orchestral works. Her works have been commissioned and/or performed by ensembles such as The Metropolitan Orchestra, Syzygy Ensemble, Elysian Fields, The Sydney Bach Society, and many others. She has released 9 albums of original music on all streaming platforms including 4 solo albums. Wilkins is also an Associate Artist with the Australian Music Centre and has five tunes in the Australian Jazz Realbook. She also writes music for films and theatre including the short film "Remote Access" which won Best Short Film at the Imagine This International Film Festival in New York in 2019 and her works are featured on ABC, Triple J, Fine Music FM, Cambridge Radio, SOAS London and many more. Her music is published by Wirripeng and she is a member of Musicians for Musicians. MFM member Sylvian Leroux was our guest in April. Sylvian is a flutist, saxophonist, guitarist, composer, arranger, bandleader, educator, inventor, and prominent member of Musicians for Musicians.  Sylvain Leroux grew up in Montreal where he studied classical flute at Vincent d'Indy; and improvisation and composition in New York at the Creative Music Studio where he attended classes by luminaries Don Cherry, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Karl Berger, Cecil Taylor, and many others. A pioneer of African/Jazz collaborations, Sylvain is a foremost player of the Fula flute, the traditional flute from Guinea. He was selected as “Rising Flute Star” by the Downbeat Magazine Critics' Poll for many years, achieving the #2 spot in 2019. As a bandleader, he brought traditional West African music to Zankel Hall with his Fula Flute Ensemble and held the fort for more than a decade at New York City's Zinc Bar with his African Jazz group “Source”. His 2002 CD “Fula Flute" achieved cult status, and stimulated a worldwide interest in the instrument. His 2012 album “Quatuor Creole” was hailed as “a perfect contemporary music release.” He curated New York's “Griot Summits” which featured performances by 25 West African griots from five countries. He has performed and recorded with Emeline Michel, Adam Rudolph, Karl Berger, Hassan Hakmoun, Billy Martin, and many West African stars. As a maker and seller of Fula flutes around the world, he invented and patented the Qromatica, a Fula flute capable of chromatic functionality. This led him to initiate "L'ecole Fula Flute", a music literacy project that graduated many excellent young flutists who are now re-energizing an endangered flute tradition. Our May 2023 episode featured Mark Chimples, a.k.a. Mark C. Mark is the guitarist and synthesizer player with Live Skull. Formed in 1982, Live Skull is considered by many aficionados to be the quintessential New York City noise band. Rising concurrently with bands such as Sonic Youth and Swans, Live Skull helped define the post-No Wave underground "noise rock" in the 1980s music scene in New York City. Over the following decades, Live Skull released five albums and three EPs with a rotating cast of 11 members, all of whom added new ideas to the group's evolving sound. Themes of struggle and chaos permeated and inspired their music. Their constant progression inspired New York Times critic Robert Palmer to call them “as challenging, as spiritually corrosive, and ultimately as transcendent as Albert Ayler's mid-'60s free-jazz or the implacable drone-dance of the early Velvet Underground. It's one of the essential sounds of our time." Music on this episode:Haana - Bison RougeAdam Reifsteck / Sonic Fear - AuroraKeyna Wilkins - Floating in SpaceSylvain Leroux - In Walked BudLive Skull - Party ZeroSpaghetti Eastern - Jungle BlueArturo O'Farrill and the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra - Amidst the Fire and WhirlwindDave Liebman - Journey Around Truth  SoSaLa - Dadada Dadada DaaDawoud Kringle - Keep Trying CreditsProducer and host: Dawoud KringlePublisher: Musicians For Musicians (MFM), Inc. and Sohrab Saadat LadjvardiTechnical support: Adam ReifsteckLinksBe sure to follow and tag MFM on Facebook ([https://www.facebook.com/M4M.org/] and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/mfm_association/).

It's a truism that jazz has roots in Africa, but compared with other forms of Black American music, it doesn't have a large audience there. Just the same, African musicians have long been smitten with jazz, and have always found inventive ways to incorporate jazz elements into their sounds. On this program we meet young artists forging new paths in Afro-Jazz: Etuk Ubong from Nigeria, Awale Jant Band from Senegal by way of London, Afrikan Protokol form Burkina Faso by way of Belgium. It's a freewheeling musical joyride. Produced by Banning Eyre. [APWW #827]

In this raging hodgepodge of a show, we go from random comments about terrible TV shows to the Final Video, then back to the Mail Bag and finally, we take some of the worst calls in the history of this network.

Jazz is a music genre that originated in the African-American communities of New Orleans, Louisiana, United States, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The roots of Jazz include many Afro-American folk music traditions, such as spirituals, work songs, and blues. It also borrowed from 19th century band music and the ragtime style of piano playing. Our hosts walk us through the colourful origins of the genre and discuss its influence on the African continent.Special mention to the Lincoln Centre School of Jazz.The Down Beat podcast is a PieSlovakiaDance original series. Research and writing, Bongani Dube and Sihle Mkhwanazi. Engineering, Reatile Mosoeu.

he state of New Jersey is situated perfectly between two musical Meccas. The soul brotherhood of Philadelphia and the Big Apple. Musicians who were lucky enough to grow up in this state were privy to the sounds of Dionne Warwick, Sigma Sound Studios and the vibrant African Jazz foothold that was beginning to take root in New York. My guest today took in this music and immediately began to cultivate his own sound. This individualistic streak was the catalyst for his Band The Wizards and Oz which evolved as a live playing band hitting the each coast college circuit. My guest honed his chops on Stage and became comfortable as a singer and a multi-instrumentalist. After high school he found his way to Ithaca is gorges @ Cornell University where he formed another college circuit band called Oz and Ends. Utica, Rochester, Syracuse, Providence, Burlington you name it the Oz was there. Somehow he found time to complete his studies and graduate but not before he formed a new band called Glory River which was eventually signed to Jimi Hendrix' electric lady land label. After experiencing the regional music scene of upstate, NY he headed west to California where he wound up working with two of the best vocalists in modern music - Van Morrison and Jesse Colin Young. Stints with Peter Rowan and Gene Clark was followed by a collaboration with Robert Hunter and Comfort. It was @ this time that he caught the attention of John Kahn and Jerry Garcia who saw his electric keyboard wizardry as a new and fresh sound compared to the half dead acoustic player that Keith Godchaeux had become. My guest was part of the JGB quartet from late '79-1980. While it may not be the longest tenure of any keyboardist the power of the group and Jerry's adherence to some sobriety lent itself to some remarkable live performances that have been released commercially. Just in the last month March 1st 1980 in Passaic was sent into the digital processor for the masses to enjoy. My guest has always tried to play across the musical spectrum. Be it reggae, jazz, new age, movie soundtracks or tv shows and his continued growth spawned a commercial DVD entitled keyboards made simple....living on the edge Ozzie Ahlers welcome to the JFS. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jake-feinberg/support

Timing can be everything in life. When you're born and when you graduate college. What era did you live through and are you satisfied. When Art was considered a sustainable form of business? My guest today took advantage of his timing and luck and fused that with an adventuresome often stream of consciousness taste in music. He understands his own Jewish roots and has devoted much of the last 15 years to promoting unsung international heroes like Chiune Sugihara who as a Japanese Diplomat helped thousands of Jews escape Lithuania in WW II. This bass understanding of history fused with his musical musings melded into an amalgamation of Moby Grape, The Pointer Sisters, Cold Blood and Buddy Rich. He produced African Jazz albums by Herbie Hancock which focused on layers of rhythms that would change moods within the 18 minute track. Like a sleeping giant the tune moved from hypnotic percussion from the entire band to moody black jazz to funky blues back to Hancology. How this ever was pressed on a record and furthermore a major label is vexing to this host. From my insular vantage point it speaks to a time in our society where stretching out was accepted and flaunted. The language of the rhythms indicates a lean towards education and teamwork with an onus on the accompanist. Values that have become liquidated in an downsized Music business. No longer an industry the major labels make offers based on how many Twitter followers you have and not on the quality of the content. My guest has always been content driven from his earliest days on Columbia Records to his merging with Bill Graham and the evolution of Fillmore and San Francisco record labels which produced the sultry funk of early Tower of Power Records. He has dealt with the biggest personalities in music and film like Francis Ford Coppola during the making of "Apocalypse Now." Or rediscovering a magical shepherd with Miroslav Vitous. It's what the kids want, it's the real thing. David Rubinson welcome to the JFS --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jake-feinberg/support

South African Jazz artist Nduduzo Makhathini On Jazz Sessions with MoAfrika 12/04/2020 by TransAfricaRadio

La musique congolaise a bercé et berce encore de nombreuses générations ! Koffi Olomidé n’est pas le seul à multiplier les tubes congolais qui ont marqué le continent. Papa Wemba, Mbilia bel, l’African Jazz, Franco, Tabu Ley Rochereau, le Zaïko Langa Langa, Werrason, ou plus récemment, Fally Ipupa, Fabregas, Ferré Gola, Innoss B… on le voit, Kinshasa fait incontestablement partie des capitales musicales de l’Afrique. En alliant tradition et modernité, une nouvelle génération exporte avec brio la bande-son congolaise non seulement à travers le continent africain, mais pas que... ! Difficile de passer à côté. Ce samedi 14 mars 2020, nous faisons honneur aux chanteurs du Congo et, bien entendu, à la rumba congolaise. Un style musical aux sonorités africaines enrichissant d’autres courants musicaux, et qui fait office de patrimoine culturel du Congo Kinshasa et du Congo Brazzaville.Qui sont les artistes de la nouvelle génération d’origine congolaise ? Pourquoi/comment la musique congolaise fait vibrer les corps et les cœurs depuis des décennies ? Que pensez-vous de ce style musical, en particulier, et plus globalement de la musique congolaise ?

Segunda parte da selecta African Jazz, trazendo para o deleite dos ouvintes o som de Hugh Masekela, Ibrahim Abdullah e Mulatu Astatké. Neste segundo programa apresentamos novos discos destes músicos de origem africana que transitam e passeiam pelo gênero jazzístico incorporando ocidente e africana numa fusão para degustar e adorar. Source

Programa “O Mundo é um Som” abre espaço para a música africana e do mundo, apresentando quatro músicos do chamado African Jazz, gênero que se popularizou a partir dos anos 1960 no Ocidente. Nesta 1ª parte de duas, alguns trabalhos dos sul-africanos Hugh Masekela (trompete) e Abdullah Ibrahim (piano), do… Source

Hugh Masekela had a #1 U.S. pop hit in the late 1960s, but few Americans know his name. The trumpeter known as the Father of South African Jazz was a powerful voice against apartheid in his home country, and a musical inspiration to the world.

La Danse des Bambous – Max Cilla (Martinique)La « toutoun bambou », c’est la flûte traditionnelle de la campagne et de la montagne martiniquaise. Flûte traversière à 6 trous, on l’appelle aussi la flûte des Mornes. Les Mornes ça désigne un relief en bord de mer et c’était aussi le refuge des nègres-marrons, ceux qui se révoltant pour s’évader de l’asservissement esclavagiste, étaient poursuivis par les colons.À la fin du 19ème on décide de se servir des cannes de bambou pour autre chose que comme ustensile agricole. Les anciens commencent alors à les couper, ils pratiquent des trous avec des fers chauds, et commence, de façon tout à fait intuitive, à les accorder et à en jouer.Celui que l’on entend là, est considéré comme le pape de la toutoun bambou. Pescadores a la Mar – Alfonso Puerta y Su Conjunto (Colombia)Et voilà ! Encore un petit bijou que nous a concocté le label Soundway.Le morceau est tiré d’une compilation de vielles cumbias colombiennes rééditées en 2011. L’album s’intitule « The original sound of Cumbia – The history of colombian cumbia & porro as told by the phonograph 1948-79 ». Message pour Brother James – Eboa Lotin (Cameroun)Il est connu pour être le précurseur du Makossa, le rythme typique au Cameroun.La multiplication des lieux de détentes, dans les années 60, où on consommait de l'alcool local a offert aux musiciens locaux un cadre d'expression. Ce qui a fait le succès du Makossa à ses débuts, c'est sa capacité à absorber et à intégrer différents genres musicaux comme la rumba congolaise par exemple, très en vogue à l’époque au Cameroun. C’est Radio Léopoldville qui arrose le pays des rythmes congolais. Les guitaristes qui ont " voyagé " reviennent de Guinée Equatoriale et des deux Congo avec des notions de Rumba. Ils sont LA modernité camerounaise qui répond aux Kabasele de L'African Jazz et Franco du OK Jazz du Congo. Rookoombey – Black Czar (Panama)Encore un nom d’artiste bien vénère qu’on pourrait plutôt croire chanteur de black metal... Et qui en fait non, fait du calypso.Black Czar vient du Panama, et ROOKOOMBEY c’est un titre des années 1950, qui a beaucoup été repris dans toutes les Caraïbes. Le Chant de Malory – Docteur Nico, Tabu Ley Rochereau & l’African Fiesta (Congo)Je l’aime vraiment beaucoup ce morceau, j’espère que vous aussi.Suite à des querelles d’égo, le groupe Grand Kalle et l'African Jazz split, les artistes Tabu Ley Rochereau et Docteur Nico Kasanda créent l’African Fiesta. Puis La tension entre Tabu Ley et Dr. Nico conduit à une scission en 1965. Tabu Ley renommant le groupe African Fiesta National et Dr. Nico formant l’African Fiesta Sukisa .Le Dr. Nico c’est un virtuose de la guitare et aussi un guitariste très influent, on raconte d’ailleurs que Jimi Hendrix lui rendit visite lors d’une tournée à Paris. Rijst Met Kouseband – Max Woiski Jr. (Suriname)De son vrai nom Max Rene Valentino Mackintosh. Ce n’est pas la première fois que l’on entend de la musique qui vient du Suriname sur Taxi Brousse, en revanche c’est la première fois qu’on l’entend chantée en néerlandais, et pour cause, puisque le Suriname est une ancienne colonie des Pays-Bas. Max était guitariste, et c’est d’ailleurs en dépannant son père, lui aussi musicien et chanteur, qu’il a commencé sa carrière professionnelle à Amsterdam.Rijst met kouseband. « Rijst », le riz. « Met », avec. « Kouseband », la jarretière.Le riz avec la jarretière, très beau morceau de calypso surinamais. El Xuc Mix – Bossa (Salvador)C’est de la musique folklo salvadorienne, et je dois dire qu’il y a quelques similitudes avec une autre musique jouée pas très loin de là, dans la Mer des Caraïbes, en Haïti : le meringue ! Les Jaloux Saboteurs – Hamed Gazonga & l’International Challal (Tchad)Encore un nouveau pays que l’on accueille : Le Tchad !La version originale de ce titre, c’est celle-ci ! Hamed Gazonga et l’International Challal, qu’il fonde lui-même, sont sans doute le groupe le plus connu du Tchad.Et pour cause, lors des nombreuses tournées qu’il organisait à travers le pays, les différents spectateurs, souvent très pauvres, pouvaient payer avec ce qu’ils avaient : du sorgho, du riz, du poisson séché, des poulets, des haricots…Et pendant que le groupe allait de village en village, deux camions faisaient des aller-retours avec la capitale N'Djaména, pour vendre au marché une partie des produits récupérés, l’autre était directement donnée aux familles des musiciens. L’argent ainsi récupéré permettait de payer les salaires et avec les profits réalisés, ils pouvaient répéter le reste de l’année et enregistrer de nouveaux titres.Et c’est comme ça, que les tournées eurent beaucoup de succès. Libreville – Hilarion Nguema & Orchestre Afro-Succes (Gabon)Cha-Cha gabonais enregistré en 1965, 5 ans après l’indépendance du Gabon, l 17 août 1960.Comme la grande majorité des colonies françaises d'Afrique subsaharienne, le Gabon accède donc à l'indépendance.Indépendance contraire au souhait de son Premier ministre de l’époque, Léon Mba qui, quelques années auparavant en 58, demanda la transformation du Gabon en département d’outremer français. Demande rejetée par De Gaulle.À l’indépendance Léon Mba devient le premier président du Gabon. Il sera soutenu par la France qui assurera, même militairement, son maintien au pouvoir et cela jusqu'à son décès en 1967 où il sera remplacé par son directeur de cabinet, le célèbre Albert-Bernard Bongo, appelé par la suite « Omar Bongo ». Guajida – Jesus Acosta & The Professionals (Belize)Rumba bélizienne des 70’s.Guajida Guantanamera. Guajida, paysanne. Guantanamera, de guantanamo. Cette fois c’est beaucoup plus compréhensible. La Negra Celina – Los Golden Boys & Miguel Velasaquez (Colombie)Un groupe qui a eu une histoire extraordinaire, qui a connu des reconnaissances au 4 coins du monde grâce à... non je déconne !Ça se passe à Medellin, c’est une bande de copains et de frères, et ils décident de créer un groupe.Ceci dit, quelques-unes de leurs musiques rencontres pas mal de succès et deviennent des bandes originales de téléfilm ou de séries, notamment de Narcos avec le morceau « El Elevao ». Kapingbdi – Kapingbdi (Libéria)Encore un nouveau pays que l’on accueille cette semaine dans Taxi Brousse : le Libéria.Un savant mélange de jazz, funk et de rythmes africains, c’est le seul groupe libérien des années 80 qui a connu un succès tel qu’il enchaîna les tournées en Europe et aux USA Panier su la Tête, ni Chanté – Alain Péters (Île de la Réunion)Tout doux ce Maloya.Alain Péters n’a laissé qu’une vingtaine de chansons, mais elles ont changé à jamais la musique de l’île de La Réunion.Chanteur et poète maudit mort à 43 ans. Génie torturé, alcoolique et autodestructeur, Alain Péters a magnifiquement transformé le maloya en poésie dans les années 70.Danyel Waro, chantre du Maloya, lui rendra à de nombreuses reprises hommages lors de ses concerts.A ce titre je vous conseille un très très bon podcast sur Arte Radio qui s’appelle « Alain Péters, le clochard céleste » de David Commeillas.

Tu connais le Cameroun ?Non ? Bah ça tombe bien on a glissé quelques morceaux pour te faire connaître un peu mieux.Tu veux écouter ? Bah dis, tu veux écouter oui ou non ? Bon bah voilà.Alors on commence d’entrée de jeu et on décolle pour Douala, on va à la capitale directe !Vous êtes chaud ? Allé on embarque. Cameroun Airline – Ekambi Brillant (Cameroun)On le surnomme « Mot'a Muenya », qui veut dire « l’homme important »Alors l’album s’appelle Meilleurs Makossa, mais je dois dire que sur ce titre on est à des années lumières du Makossa camerounais.T’as remarqué on dirait de la country afro. Tu verrais la pochette de l’album... grosse pattes et chapeau de cowboy... si si j’vous jure ! Eddy Mitchel du Camerouns Sentado na Pracinha – Américo Brito (Cap-Vert)Quel beau pays le Cap-Vert ! Des îles du bout du monde perdu au milieu de l’Atlantique.« Sentado na pracinha », ça veut dire « assis sur la petite place », et c’est un peu ça qu’on aime dans ce pays, cette douceur de vivre, le temps qui s’arrête... le soleil, le vent, la mer qui rythment le temps, simplement, et les notes de la musique « crioula » qui nous berce. Resurrection Los – Los Camaroes (Cameroun)Ce grand pays qu’est le Cameroun, coincé entre le Nigeria et le Congo, deux pays bouillonnants, musicalement !Sur ce titre on retrouve des sonorités de soukous congolais d’ailleurs. Table Ronde – Grand Kallé et l’African Jazz (Congo)Le Grand Kallé et l’African Jazz. On en a parlé dans les émissions précédentes.Fondé par Joseph Kabasele Tshamala, connu sous le nom du Grand Kallé.Beaucoup de grands noms de la musique congolaise son passé par ce groupe ! Un des premiers groupes professionnels de ce pays, qui lui vaudra d’ailleurs d’être invité à chanter lors de la table ronde belgo-congolaise, qui a abouti sur une projection de l'avenir du Congo belge dont la date de l'indépendance du futur État, et c’est à cette occasion donc que le groupe a écrit ce morceau. Vaparidzi Vawanda – The Green Arrows (Zimbabwe)Le Zimbabwe, « le joyau de l’Afrique » comme il était surnommé autrefois.Aujourd’hui un des pays les plus pauvres du monde, mais c’est sans compter la richesse de sa musique.C’est un album des années 70 réédité dans les années 2000 par Analog Africa.Et c’est au début des années 80 qu’arrive au pouvoir comme premier ministre le tristement célèbre Robert Mugabe qui plongera le pays dans une sombre dictature socialiste qui durera tout le temps de son « mandat » de 30 ans et qui ne trouvera une fin qu’en 2017 après une longue période de protestation de la population et de l’armée. Sabor a Caña – Los Orientales de Paramonga (Pérou)Vous la reconnaissez ? Mais oui, c’est elle !La Cumbia psicadelica du Pérou, qui descend au galop des Andes, à dos d’âne, avec ses rythmes distordus et chaloupés. Las Cosas del Corazón – Cristina Maica & Reyna Lucero (Venezuela)La musique que l’on appelle « llanera », la musique des plaines, que l’on joue dans cette région éloignée de la côte, entre Colombie et Venezuela.Une région agricole, où vivent de vieilles familles, généralement implanté dans la région depuis plusieurs générations, dans de très grandes fermes...Et justement Reyna Lucero est surnomée « la Reine de la musique créole ». C’est un peu de ça, dont son gardien aussi les fermiers de cette région, c’est de l’héritage de culture « criolla », restée étonnement intacte parce que loin du cosmopolitisme des grandes villes et de la côte. Mininga Meyong Mese – Nkodo Si Tony (Cameroun)« La poule ne chante pas devant les coqs » dit un proverbe Beti, peuple d’Afrique Centrale.Et c’est pour contourner cet interdit que les femmes Beti organisaient des rassemblement festifs le soir au clair de lune, après les travaux champêtres ou encore sur le chemin de retour du marché après avoir vendu leurs produits et fait des achats. Elles formaient un cercle dans lequel chacune d'entre elles entrait pour exprimer ses peines, ses frustrations, ses déceptions, ses mécontentements. Et ce, tout en chantant (paroles imagées et allégoriques), en frappant les mains, sous les acclamations des autres femmes du cercle reprenant en chœur le refrain, en claquant les mains et en trépignant.C’est comme ça qu’est ne le Bikutsi, le genre de musique que l’on écoute. Chinese Cricket Match – Dictator (Trinidad et Tobago)C’est quoi ça ? Hein ? Tu reconnais ? Mais oui c’est ta musique préférée ! Du Calypso.Y a un truc cocasse avec le Calypso c’est que 80% des artistes ont trouvé judicieux de s’affubler de petits noms tous doux comme « Dictator », « Atilla le Hun », « The Executor », « Lord Invader », « The Mighty Terror »... Alors qu’ils font des petits sons tous doux ! Naaaaan ! Ça c’est c’que tu crois c’est pour tromper l’ennemi colonialiste de l’époque qui écoutait la musique et devait sans doute se dire alors qu’il ne bitait pas un mot puisqu’il chantait en créole, « c’est bon, en entendant la niaiserie de ce son, ils doivent sans doute raconter des banalités ». Et non ! Justement ! Les paroles, elles, étaient bel et bien aiguisées, et critiquaient généralement le pouvoir colonial de l’époque. Miri Magnin – Keletigui et ses Tambourinis (Guinée Conakry) « L’orchestre Keletigui et ses Tambourinis », orchestre nationale de la République de Guinée messieurs dames, ce n’est pas rien !Et ça joue du Mbalax, ce style de musique qui vient du Sénégal voisin. D’ailleurs si on ne connaissait pas on pourrait confondre presque et se dire que ça vient de Dakar plutôt que de Conakry.Moi j’aimerais bien que mon orchestre national joue du Mbalax de temps en temps aussi. Dawsi (Instru.) – Baba Bhy-Gao (Centrafrique)La musique centrafricaine est devenue de plus en plus rare ! L’industrie musicale du pays n’investit plus un kopek sur les artistes comme à une époque dû à la pauvreté de la population qui n’arrive plus à acheterOn importe de la musique des pays limitrophes comme le Cameroun ou la RDC et on n’injecte de l’argent que dans les gros groupes centrafricains qui assurent de grosses entrées. Donkey Calypso – E.T. Mensah & The Tempos (Trinidad et Tobago)Ça c’est un calypso beaucoup moins « street » que celui qu’on a entendu avant. Ici c’est formation sérieuse. D’ailleurs, toi qui t’y connais, tu n’trouves pas que ça tend plutôt à la Rumba ? Je Vais à Yaoundé – André-Marie Tala (Cameroun)Le Maxime Le Foxterrier camerounais, néanmoins souvent comparé à Stevie Wonder, du fait de leur handicap commun, la cécité.Complètement rock André-Marie! Le titre date de 1985. Maloya Ton Tisane – Michou (île de la Réunion)Une version soul du séga, qui casse le rythme et ralenti nettement le tempo. C’est intéressant !Suivant les uns, on est dans un rythme ternaire, d’autres parlent de binaire. Mais objectivement, il n'y a pas une énorme différence la plupart du temps entre séga et maloya : même rythme, même langue. La plus grosse différenciation est que d'un côté vous avez une musique avec uniquement des percussions et de l'autre avec des instruments européens.

Comme chaque semaine et tant que c’est possible on accueille de nouveau pays dans notre émission.Cette semaine 2 nouveaux ! La Guinée-Conakry (va regarder où c’est, sur google map) et la Mozambique (tant que t’es sur google map jettes-y un coup d’œil aussi quand même) !Encore de drôle d’histoire à vous raconter, plein d’anecdotes intéressantes, et de rythmes succulents... Allé reste, tu le sais qu’on va être bien de toute façon ! 22 Novembre – Orchestre Régional de Gao (Guinée-Conakry)Issu d’une très bonne compilation de Soundway Records réuni sous un même titre. Un pentaptyque (une réunion de 5 albums) qui s’intitule « Afriques Indépendantes », ce morceau appartient à l’album intitulé « Afrique Engagée ».C’est un morceau écrit à la grandeur de la Guinée-Conakry ancienne colonie française située au sud du Sénégal et du Mali, qui le 21 novembre 1970 a résisté à une tentative de coup d’état que les forces armées portugaises avaient lancé avec l’aide d’opposants guinéen pour renverser le régime d’Ahmed Sekou Touré, premier président Guinéen depuis son indépendance en 1958 Calambre – Conjunto Barbacoa (Colombie)On dit merci au label allemand AnalogAfrica pour ressortir ces morceaux perdus dans les méandres de la musique colombienne, et pas que puisqu’ils vont puiser dans les archives africaines aussi.Un travail colossal à la recherche de pépites musicales !AnalogAfrica qui ne sont pas les seuls, mais qui ré-édite des albums perdus, ou qui souvent crée des compil avec des thèmes particulier, qui peuvent être un style de musique, une région etc... comme celle dont nous venons d’écouter ce titre, intitulée Diablos del Ritmo 1960-1985 : The Colombian Melting-pot. Mambu Na Nge – Mbilia Bel & Tabu Ley Rochereau (Congo)Voilà une histoire africaine comme je les aime !Pendant les années 50 né au Congo belge un des premiers groupes professionnel du pays, « Le Grand Kallé et l'African Jazz », sous l’impulsion de Joseph Kabasele Tshamala, connu sous le nom du Grand Kallé.Dans ce groupe aux standards de rumba congolaise, sont passés ces deux artistes Mbilia Bel et Tabu Ley Rochereau qui se retrouveront plus tard pour une longue collaboration.D‘ailleurs en matière de longueur, il est à noter que 99% des morceaux qu’ils ont composé ensemble ne font pas moins de 9minutes. Celui-ci est donc une exception !On raconte qu’en grand amoureux des femmes, Tabu Ley serait le père génétique de quelques 120 enfants (Y compris du rappeur Youssoupha et de la rappeuse belge d'origine polonaise et congolaise, Shay).Gourmand ce Tabu Ley. Choc Vikings – Les Vikings d’Haïti (Haïti)Pour les connaisseurs !A ne surtout pas confondre avec les Vikings de la Guadeloupe, et les Vikings de la Martinique !Chaque île avait sa horde de guerriers sanguinaires ! Oui messieurs-dames vous ne rêvez pas, c’est la vérité vraieIl existait dans les années 70/80, dans chacune de ces 3 îles, un groupe qui se dénommait « Viking », et qui n’avait aucun lien avec ses homonymes, si ce n’est l’amour de la biguine ! Afic’Ambiance – Bopol Mansiamina (Congo)Le Soukous, fils spirituel de la rumba congolaise, et Bopol qui en est un des plus digne représentant (tant en carrière solo qu’en groupe, notamment avec « Les Quatre Étoiles »)À noter que le Soukous, à la manière du rap par exemple, est un style en constante évolution. Le Soukous des années 80/90 que l’on entend ici, n’a que très peu à voir avec le Soukous que l’on peut entendre aujourd’hui.Les standards de ce style de musique ne sont pas tout à fait arrêtés, et continuent à muter au fil du temps. Pele Odidja – Mose Se Sengo « Fan Fan » (Congo)Voilà un exemple parfait de mutation musicale.On est à cheval entre les 80’s et les 90’s au Congo, moment où la rumba congolaise et en passe de devenir le Soukous. O Comboio – Kiezos (Angola)Vous l’avez peut-être reconnu, c’est toujours ce satané bijou de merengue angolais, plus communément appelé « Rebita », et ça ressemble à la Samba brésilienne.Samba et Rebita ont les mêmes origines... le merengue ! Marry Very Well – Academico and Pimento (Mozambique)Le Mozambique autre ancienne colonie portugaise, mais où l’on on retrouve moins le créole portugais dans la musique que dans les autres colonies.Alors ce n’est pas très criant sur ce morceau parce qu’il est chanté en anglais (approximatif j’avoue), mais on le verra sur les prochaines morceaux, un rythme différents et beaucoup moins de langue portugaise par exemple que l’Angola (70% lusophone en Angola, moins de 10% au Mozambique). When a Man Loves a Woman – Docteur Nico & L’African Fiesta Sukisa (Congo)Quart d’heure américain à la sauce du Docteur Nico !Voilà donc en matière de yaourt là on est plus qu’abondement servi.Un morceau somptueux, formidablement interprété !Je vous conseille de regarder les lyrics de la version original en même temps que vous écoutez celui-ci... Une phonétique absolument irréprochable. El Ratón – Cheo Feliciano & Joe Cuba Sextet (Porto Rico)Magnifique morceau de boléro portoricain !Vous êtes dans le métro ? Exercez-vous, bouges le popotin ! Le Chachacha c’est 3 temps, la rumba c’est 4 temps et le Boléro c’est 4 temps, mais plus lent ! Odo Adaada – Pat Thomas & Kwashibu Area Band (Ghana)Le Prince ghanéen du highlife !Qui a à de nombreuses reprises collaborées avec le king, enfin que moi je surnomme le king du highlife, Ebo Taylor.Pat Thomas & Kwashibu Area Band sont en concertLe Samedi 05/10/2019 à 20:00 au New MorningC’est 7 rue des Petites Écuries dans le 10èmeChâteau d'Eau ligne 4

UCSfm - Café com Notícias 28/07/2017 - Tum Tum Instrumental (African Jazz)

This week we are joined by RnB, African Jazz singer Maleh. We discuss evolutions in her career, from the importance of identifying one’s sense of purpose in life to focussing energies and realising dreams. We consider the role musicians play in society in terms of “speaking” through the medium of music on behalf of those that do not have a voice or platform to express themselves. Maleh shares her journey of womanhood, highlighting her heritage of a line of women who have dedicated their lives to the development of their communities, and her efforts to inspire young woman to pursue their personal ambitions. We remark on education as a necessity to understand business and attain success irrespective of career choice. Tune in for more…

We discuss the inroads women have made in the work front as entrepreneurs or corporate players and the positive impact career mothers have on developing aspirant children. Tune in for more…
