Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/black-pumasSubscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeIn just seven years since meeting based on a recommendation, Eric Burton and Adrian Quesada formed the Black Pumas, released two albums, and have already been nominated for seven Grammys. However, this fruitful friendship was almost never developed.Quesada was enrolled at the University of Texas but flunking out due to his dedication to guitar over textbooks. His parents gave him a proposition: Either stay home in Laredo, or return to Austin without a guitar in hand to focus on studying. He went with option B and headed back for school in Austin—or so his parents thought. Quesada took his remaining book money (about $200) and headed to Ray Hennig's Heart of Texas, where he snagged a Squier Telecaster Thinline. His parents eventually figured out the switcheroo, but Quesada was determined and hasn't looked back. (Side note: The family obviously sees and supports his musical talents, and attended Black Pumas' Ryman show the night before the filming of this Rig Rundown.) That matador move pulled off by Quesada allowed him to become a longtime fixture in the Austin music scene with bands Brownout, Ocote Soul Sound, Spanish Gold, Echocentrics, and Grupo Fantasma (with whom he played for over 15 years, earning a 2011 Grammy for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album). He started to explore new ideas that didn't fit the mold for Grupo, and needed someone to narrate his musical vistas. A friend recommended he link up with Austin newcomer Eric Burton, who traded his busking spot on the Santa Monica pier for the bright lights of Sixth Street. The duo met up, and as the results prove, the rest is history. Before the Black Pumas' second headlining show at the Ryman Auditorium in downtown Nashville, bandleader Adrian Quesada, bassist Brendan Bond, and band tech Bryan Wilkinson invited PG's Chris Kies into the hallowed grounds for a chill conversation about their tonal tools. During our time with the Black Pumas, we learned about Quesada's love for tremolo (he even included it as a secret weapon in a semi-hollow Jazzmaster), Bond's fateful trip to the Wilco Loft in Chicago, and why a '59 ES-125 is Wilkinson's perfect pairing with Burton's expressive and emotive voice.Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/black-pumasSubscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeWin Guitar Gear: https://bit.ly/GiveawaysPG Don't Miss a Rundown: http://bit.ly/RIgRundownENLMerch & Magazines: https://shop.premierguitar.comPG's Facebook: https://facebook.com/premierguitarPG's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/premierguitar/PG's Twitter: https://twitter.com/premierguitarPG's Threads: https://threads.net/@premierguitarPG's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@premierguitar[Brought to you by D'Addario: https://ddar.io/wykyk-rr & https://ddari.io/xpnd.rr]© Copyright Gearhead Communications LLC, 20240:00 - D'Addario XPND Pedalboard0:15 - Chris Kies Intro1:57 - Adrian Quesada Intro3:15 - Touring with Vintage Gear4:02 - Adrian Quesada's Fender Custom Shop Telecaster6:13 - Playing with Fingers or Pick8:03 - College or Guitar?9:14 - Adrian Quesada's Strings10:00 - Adrian Quesada's Gibson ES-34511:53 - Playing ES-345 with DI Fuzz13:11 - Adrian Quesada's Fender Custom Shop Jazzmaster Thinline14:27 - Built-in Tremolo17:33 - Adrian Quesada's Fender Limited Edition '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb18:36 - Adrian Quesada's Pedalboard30:05 - D'Addario XPND & John Bohlinger30:55 - Brendan Bond Intro31:49 - Brendan Bond's 1974 Fender P Bass36:15 - Brendan Bond Fingerstyle & Bass...

When Austin's cumbia-funk institution Grupo Fantasma went to record their seventh album at a studio in Tornillo, Texas, they had no idea that right next door was a tent city for detained immigrant youth operated by ICE. When they found out, they decided they had to do something. So they teamed up with fellow legends Ozomatli and Locos Por Juana to create a sinister funk tune with a message about the walls that divide us. On this edition of How I Made It, members of Grupo Fantasma break down the creative process behind their new song "The Wall."

Of all the ways to discover a song, there are few more inviting and experiential than driving down a desert highway and hearing something come in over the radio—a real life transmission. That was the case for host Jason P. Woodbury driving to Tucson, Arizona, in 2022, when “Puedas Decir De Mi,” by Adrian Quesada featuring Gaby Moreno came over the airwaves of KCXI Tucson community radio. Quesada is best known as one-half of The Black Pumas, his duo with singer/songwriter Eric Burton. But Quesada's musical output is varied: he's worked with Brownout, a Latin hard rock-tinged outfit, Grupo Fantasma, Adrian Younge, and many more. In 2022, he released his debut solo album, Boleros Psicodélicos, followed that same year by Jaguar Sound. He joined us to discuss his trajectory, his worldwide success, his roots in hip-hop, and much more. Transmissions is produced in partnership with Talkhouse Podcast Network. Aquarium Drunkard is powered by its Patreon supporters. Next week on Transmissions? Future soul singer Eddie Chacon takes us back in time and to Ibiza for a conversation focused around his incredible new album Sundown. Subscribe to Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions so you don't miss it. This transmission is concluded.

We first interviewed Adrian Quesada back in 2013 in issue #92 about his band Grupo Fantasma and have since chatted with him about his Grammy winning project Black Pumas on the Tape Op Podcast. During quarantine Adrian created two solo records, Boleros Psicodélicos and the most recently released, Jaguar Sound. Geoff Stanfield caught up with Adrian to discuss. Enjoy.

Austin resident and master of psychedelic funk, Kalu James, sits down with Tom to reminiscence about their fateful first introduction in the rugged mountains of Utah. Along the way, hear a journey of musical enlightenment, peek into Kalu's storytelling, and sit down with two friends who found their way together during a period of isolation. Kalu and the Electric Joint are considered one of the best bands on the Austin music scene right now. With their distinct sound, they have a vibrant live show that enhances their dynamic and uplifting songwriting. Kalu James sits down with Tom and shows his off stage persona as the two share stories of when they met, how their pandemic experience shaped them, and how their experience of moving to Austin has aligned (or misaligned) with their expectations. Texas Monthly has said Kalu and the Electric Joint “pulls Austin's sounds into the global diaspora: this is psych rock with more than a dash of Jamaican dub, Southern soul, and Nigerian funk.” Kalu James grew up the son of a village chief in Nigeria and moved to Austin to enmesh himself in the live music scene. He's been on the scene as a songwriter for years, and when he began a month-long residency at the Continental Club Gallery with another Austin mainstay, guitarist JT Holt, they both knew there was chemistry afoot. Their weekly shows would last nearly three years and along the way, drummer John Speice joined the party, officially forming Kalu And The Electric Joint. The Joint was originally an only-in-Austin conception. Now, they have released their debut album, to introduce the world to the blues-rock, American soul and African polyrhythms. Time Undone, recorded over the period of a year out in Driftwood, Texas, and produced by Brett Orrison (Black Angels, Widespread Panic) include guest stars from members of Widespread Panic, War On Drugs, The Sword and Grupo Fantasma, who all contribute to a soulful world groove. Enjoy Kalu and the Electric Joint's single Garden of Eden at the end of the podcast.

What a killer premiere for Nemegata. Last year’s fiery debut LP Hycha Wy earned the Austin-based band rave reviews by none other than Rolling Stone senior editor David Fricke in a review he did for MOJO, praising the “power-trance trio” for their multifaceted roots grooves.

Seriously. Just listen to what the man said. “Real musicians playing real music.” High praises from one of the greatest artists ever.

Both old and new, Austin-based band Black Pumas is centered around guitarist and producer Adrian Quesada and 27-year-old songwriter Eric Burton. Grammy Award-winning Quesada has played in Grupo Fantasma and Brownout, and accompanied artists from Prince to Daniel Johnston. Burton grew up in church and then got heavily involved in musical theater. He arrived in Austin in 2015 after busking his way across the country from Los Angeles, and connected with Quesada on the phone. From idea to session to self-titled debut album, they've been making music that is neither retro nor derivative, with influences ranging from Sam Cooke to Neil Young and Ghostface Killah. Now a touring machine, Black Pumas brings their skillful combination of folky strum, sticky funk, dusty psych, and old soul to an in-studio session.

For more than two decades, Grammy-winning guitarist and producer Beto Martinez has imprinted Austin with his Latin-leaning outputs: Grupo Fantasma, Money Chicha, and Brownout.

Además de miembro de los Heartbreakers y colaborador de Fleetwood Mac, Mike Campbell ha estado tocando desde hace 15 años en un cuarteto llamado los Dirty Knobs, con un toque que recordaba a Mudcrutch. “Irish Girl” es uno de los 13 cortes que conforman su álbum de debut Wreckless Abandon, que quedó en el limbo con la llegada de la pandemia Es un tema lleno de poesía del propio Mike Campbell inspirado por haber estado conduciendo a altas horas de la madrugada de regreso a su casa escuchando a Van Morrison en la radio. Al llegar al hogar escribió el tema. Durante la pandemia, los Avett Brothets anunciaban la edición de The Third Gleam, con los hermanos Scott y Seth Avett junto al bajista Bob Crawford regresando a los primeros tiempos de la formación. A lo largo del proyecto escriben sobre el prejuicio histórico, la fe, la disparidad económica, la violencia con las armas de fuego, el encarcelamiento, la redención y la mortalidad. Todo ello arropado por una casi espartana sencillez instrumental. “Victory” es uno de los momentos mágicos de esa publicación de ocho canciones. Es una forma perfecta de compartir el arte en lo que parece ser una noche relativamente larga y oscura. El pasado martes supimos sobre los premios de la Americana Music Association, que suele ser el momento cumbre de su anual AmericanaFest, que reparte actuaciones y eventos por Nashville durante una semana y que debido a la pandemia fueron cancelados. Nacida en Nashville, Brittany Haas es la nueva Instrumentista del Año para la AMA. En TOMA UNO la conocimos formando parte de una banda de bluegrass como Crooked Still, donde coincidió con Aoife O'Donovan, actualmente en I'm with Her. Aquel grupo de Boston se dio un respiro y a partir de 2018, Brittany Haas es miembro de Hawktail. El último trabajo del cuarteto es Formations, donde está incluida “Annbjørg”, inspirada en una de sus héroes del violín, Annbjørg Lien. John Prine fue elegido Artista del Año. Desgraciadamente, el artista murió el 7 de abril con 73 años. Con Brandi Carlile en los coros vocales, “Boudless Love”, compuesto por John Prine junto a Pat McLaughlin y Dan Auerbach, fue otro de esos regalos tan maravillosos como inesperados que repartió a lo largo de sus muchos años de magisterio. Se convirtió en el último álbum de un artista que regresaba con un disco de temas nuevos tras 13 años sin hacerlo. Con el productor Dave Cobb supervisando las sesiones, The Tree of Forgiveness parece grabado en una reunión informal a la luz de una fogata nocturna, sin nada impostado, convirtiendo la veteranía de su protagonista es un activo más que en un inconveniente. El vocalista Eric Burton, que siempre nos recuerda a Steve Winwood, y el guitarrista Adrian Quesada formaron Black Pumas hace tres años y en el pasado 2019 publicaron su disco de debut con el nombre del dúo como título, siendo nominados al Grammy como Mejor Nuevo Artista. Quesada había formado parte del Grupo Fantasma, una banda de toques latinos. Se encontraron en Austin, Texas, y decidieron aunar fuerzas como Black Pumas y moverse en el terreno de la Americana, sin olvidar su respeto por los sonidos de Curtis Mayfield y el soul de los 70 y 80. "Confines" es una de las canciones que han convencido a la Americana Music Association para premiarlos como Artistas Emergentes del año. The Highwomen han sido las grandes triunfadoras de la última edición de los premios de la Americana Music Association. La última sensación femenina en forma de supergrupo reunió en formato de cuarteto a Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris, Natalie Hemby y Amanda Shires, que fue la que tuvo la idea inicial como respuesta a la falta de mujeres sonando en las emisoras de radio. El nombre tiene que ver con The Highwayman, el supergrupo formado en los 80 por Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings y Kris Kristofferson. “Redesigning Women” fue el single de anticipo de su álbum de debut que produjo Dave Cobb La canción, compuesta por Natalie Hemby y Rodney Clawson, trata sobre la maternidad, las luchas profesionales, las expectativas sociales y los distintos roles que desempeñan las mujeres diariamente. Su disco homónimo también fue premiado como Álbum del Año y su tema “Crowded Table”, una canción que Natalie Hemby y Brandi Carlile compusieron con Lori McKenna y que se convirtió en un himno que desde que la estrenaron en el último Newport Folk Festival en el que participaron. La nueva canción de Michaela Anne, con un vídeo especialmente divertido y un título que lo explica todo, “If I Wanted Your Opinion”, formó parte del último álbum de la artista de Brooklyn, que creció a saltos entre Washington, California, Virginia, Michigan e incluso Italia. Ha sido esa personalidad errante la que definió las características de ese trabajo, Desert Dove, en el que reflexiona sobre la soledad, el amor, la conexión entre las personas y, por supuesto, la carretera. Ese un álbum, que no ha tenido continuación lógica debido a la pandemia, se ha convertido en vital para su progresión, contando con el apoyo de Sam Outlaw y Kelly Winrich de Delta Spirit, con quienes se marcho hasta San Clemente, en California, para completar una colección exuberante de sueños musicales, con el cielo como límite. Kacy & Clayton, que pasaron por España el pasado año, y Marlon Williams han encontrado en el álbum Plastic Bouquet, que publicarán a mediados de diciembre, la mejor manera de compartir su cariño por la tradición musical, aunque Saskatchewan, en Canadá, y Christchurch, en Nueva Zelanda, no están precisamente cerca. La química es evidente en temas como "I Wonder Why". Firefall fue una excelente banda de folk rock en la segunda mitad de los 70 y primeros 80. Sus miembros habían tenido experiencias en distintas formaciones anteriores, pero sería su encuentro en la banda de acompañamiento de Chris Hillman tras su debut en solitario con Slippin’ Away cuando se gestó el proyecto. Apareció Rick Roberts desde los Flying Burrito Brothers y se sumaron Jock Bartley, Mark Andes, Larry Burnett, David Muse y Michael Clarke, el ex batería de los Byrds. Así nació Firefall, que todavía sigue en activo como demuestra la publicación de su último trabajo de estudio, Comet, un soplo de aire fresco con mucho de emotiva mirada por el retrovisor como ocurre en “Way Back When”, que recuerda aquellos convulsos tiempos de los 60. The Wild Feathers utilizaron estos tiempos de confinamiento para poner al día sus archivos y recopilar canciones que ahora han completado Medium Rarities En el álbum encontramos maquetas, caras B y algunas curiosas versiones inéditas como "Blue" de los Jayhawks, "Almost Cut My Hair" de Crosby Stills, Nash & Young y "Guitar Man" de Bread, cuyo líder, David Gates, se hizo octogenario hace unos días. Ese nativo de Tulsa, en Oklahoma, empezó tocando junto a Leon Russell en los bares de la zona hasta que se marchó a California, formando Bread en Los Angeles y pasando a ser uno de los mejores ejemplos del llamado soft rock de los 70. “Guitar Man” fue el tema central de su quinto álbum. Calexico han regresado justo a tiempo para la Navidad y su nuevo álbum tiene que ver con esta etapa. Se trata de Seasonal Shift, convertido fundamentalmente en una celebración intercultural focalizada en los recuerdos. En el trabajo, Joey Burns y John Convertino han incluido un par de versiones de Tom Petty e incluso John y Yono, además de tener invitados de muy distintos puntos geográficos, lo que lleva a abarcar desde el fado portugués a las canciones populares mexicanas. “Hear The Bells” es una historia que podría tener distintos significados y que esta vez se ha centrado en las tradicionales de estas fechas que se mantienen en Tucson, Arizona, donde la pareja tiene su base de operaciones. Cada año, en la fecha más cercana a la Navidad hay una canción que siempre suena en el tiempo de TOMA UNO para transmitir los mejores deseos de cara a estas fiestas. Los más veteranos oyentes saben que se trata de “Colorado Christmas”, el maravilloso regalo navideño que compuso Steve Goodman y nos transmitieron desde 1987 la Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. El grupo ha grabado en más ocasiones la canción, pero esta fue la primitiva versión, en la que contaron con Emmylou Harris en los coros. Con ella queremos expresaros el enorme cariño y respeto que sentimos por cada uno de vosotros, desearos lo mejor para terminar de una vez con este extraño 2020 y confiar en que el próximo año todo sea infinitamente mejor y, además, nos veamos en los conciertos. ¡Feliz Navidad!

The runway to success was short for Black Pumas. Five months after releasing their debut album in 2019, the Austin-based band was nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammys. And now, one year later, Black Pumas are up for Album of the Year for the deluxe version of their debut. Guitarist/Producer Adrian Quesada and Singer Eric Burton met at a crossroads in both of their careers. Adrian left his first band, Grupo Fantasma after a successful run, including a years-long mentorship by Prince. While looking for a new direction, a friend suggested he work with Eric—changing both of their fortunes. In this episode, Adrian talks about being taken under Prince’s wing, Eric reminisces about writing the group’s biggest hit in church, and they explain their unique chemistry that’s led to instant success.

Adrian tells me about his seminal days in Austin, where he formed Brownout and Grupo Fantasma, the musical ultimatum posed by his parents, meeting Matthew Logan Vasquez and working with him during the Glorietta project. We also dive deep into the history and trajectory of Black Pumas, who were nominated for a Grammy as Best New Artist earlier this year.

En TOMA UNO estamos a la espera del fin del mundo que, por lo visto es hoy. Si así fuera, queremos despedirnos a lo grande y empezamos por una celebración: ¡Feliz Día Europeo de la Música! Los American Honors & Awards se llevarán a cabo en el Auditorio Ryman en Nashville el próximo 16 de septiembre, aunque la Americana Music Association no ha querido especificar el formato debido a la evolución de la situación con respecto a Covid-19 . Lo que si sabemos son los nominados para esta edición, a los que damos un repaso en el comienzo del programa, empezando por el Álbum del año, al que aspiran: And It’s Still Alright, Nathaniel Rateliff Country Squire, Tyler Childers The Highwomen, The Highwomen Jaime, Brittany Howard While I’m Livin’, Tanya Tucker En cuanto al Artista del año, los nominados han sido: Brandi Carlile Brittany Howard John Prine Tanya Tucker Yola La tercera categoría ha sido Dúo o grupo del año, para que se lo disputan: Black Pumas Drive-By Truckers The Highwomen Buddy & Julie Miller Our Native Daughters La tercera categoría ha sido para la Canción del año: “And It’s Still Alright” Nathaniel Rateliff. Compuesta por Nathaniel Rateliff. “Bring My Flowers Now” Tanya Tucker. Compuesta por Brandi Carlile, Phil Hanseroth, Tim Hanseroth y Tanya Tucker. “Crowded Table” The Highwomen. Compuesta por Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby y Lori McKenna. “My Love Will Not Change” Aubrie Sellers featuring Steve Earle. Compuesta por Billy Burnette y Shawn Camp. “Stay High” Brittany Howard. Compuesta por Brittany Howard. “Thoughts and Prayers” Drive-By Truckers. Compuesta por Patterson Hood. Nuestro recorrido por los nominados de la Americana Music Association ha terminado con el Artista emergente del año: Black Pumas Katie Pruitt Aubrie Sellers Billy Strings Kelsey Waldon La herencia de Neal Casal es irrefutable. Trístemente desaparecido el pasado año, su legado en solitario y con Chris Robinson Brotherhood, los Cardinals de Ryan Adams y Circles Around the Sun, nos dejan un legado creativo espectacular. La Neal Casal Music Foundation (NCMF) está trabajando en la edición para el próximo año 2021 de un doble álbum y triple vinilo llamado Highway Butterfly: The Songs Of Neal Casal en el que participan una treintena de músicos como Jaime Wyatt, Marcus King, Shooter Jennings, Warren Haynes, Phil Lesh, Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, Zephaniah OHora, Aaron Lee Tasjan o Billy Strings. Precisamente este último junto a Circles Around The Sun ha grabado “All The Luck In The World”, que en 2001 formó parte del álbum Rain, Wind And Speed del ya mítico artista de Nueva Jersey. El vocalista Eric Burton y el guitarrista Adrian Quesada formaron Black Pumas hace tres años y en el pasado 2019 publicaron su disco de debut con el nombre del dúo como título, siendo nominados al Grammy como Mejor Nuevo Artista. Quesada había formado parte del Grupo Fantasma, una banda de toques latinos, con la que ya ganó un gramófono dorado hace 10 años. Se encontraron en Austin, Texas, y decidieron aunar fuerzas como Black Pumas y moverse en el terreno de la Americana. La semana pasada, a punto de cumplirse el primer aniversario de aquel álbum, el dúo lanzó su versión de “Fast Car”, un clásico de Tracy Chapman que en 1988 nos hizo reflexionar sobre nuestra lucha diaria por que valga la pena vivir. Mary Chapin Carpenter ha sido desde siempre una de nuestras contadoras de historias favoritas y nos encanta poder escuchar un adelanto de su nuevo trabajo, The Dirt And The Stars. Producido de nuevo por Ethan Johns, ha sido grabado una vez más completamente en vivo en los Estudios Real World de Peter Gabriel en Bath, al suroeste de Inglaterra, un lugar perfecto para reflexionar sobre momentos personales e íntimos, algo que Mary Chapin hizo en su casa de Virginia antes de la cuarentena. “Between The Dirt And The Stars”, que es la pieza sobre la que gira el proyecto, recubierta de nostalgia por los días de la adolescencia, un tiempo en el que la vida se podía resumir con “Wild Horses” sonando en la radio. Para su nuevo álbum, Neon Cross, Jaime Wyatt ha podido contar a su lado con Shooter Jennings, que ha dotado de la brillantez imprescindible a un trabajo que suponía casi una confesión pública de la complicada biografía de esta mujer nacida en el estado de Washington. Uno de los momentos más emocionantes del disco ha sido este dúo junto a Jessi Colter, madre de Shooter y viuda de Waylon Jennings, en un himno de tintes feministas como "Just A Woman", reivindicando el valor real de las mujeres a las que se les privado de la voz y del reconocimiento. Estamos ante un registro con enfoque de gran angular, de letras profundas y muy personales expresadas con una voz sin cortapisas. Tessy Lou Williams ha encontrado la mejor respuesta a un esfuerzo muy valioso por recuperar las esencias de la country music, regresando a los modos tradicionales y olvidando todo lo que entretiene en su búsqueda. Rodeada de algunos de los nombres fundamentales de esa perpetua introspección en el estilo, como Larry Cordle, Brennen Leigh, Lesley Satcher, Jerry Salley, Jon Randall e incluso la joven Ashley Campbell, estamos ante uno de los discos más recomendables de este año. Para cerrar un trabajo perfectamente armonizado, Tessy ha escogido “Pathway Of Teardrops”, un tema legendario que han grabado desde Webb Pierce –su compositor junto a Wayne Walker- a los Osborne Brothers, pasando por K.T. Oslin, Rhonda Vincent o Alison Krauss, y que la joven artista de Montana conoció a través de New Monday, el supergrupo que forman Val Storey, Larry Cordle y Carl Jackson. Supone una apuesta formal por la vuelta más respetuosa a las raíces. Para despedir a la Americana en esta semana y emplazarlos para la próxima, hemos preferido a Margo Price con “Drifter”, un tema inédito de las sesiones de grabación de su nuevo álbum, That’s How Rumors Get Started. Ayer comenzó el verano y hoy es el Día Europeo de la Música. Esperemos que el calendario maya nos haga un guiño y nos permita volver los próximos sábado y domingo a la sintonía habitual de Radio 3.

Eric Burton, el cantante de los Black Pumas, está en este nuevo episodio. Los Black Pumas estuvieron nominados a mejor nuevo artista por su álbum debut, que se lanzó hace ya casi un año de manera independiente y que tomó al mundo por sorpresa con una mezcla de soul y funk y dos tipos de experiencia: por su parte, el productor y Multi instrumentalista Adrián Quesada, ganador del premio Grammy en 2010 por su trabajo El Existential con la banda Grupo Fantasma, y quien conectó con un joven cantante callejero de forma mágica e inesperada. En este episodio, Eric, un músico callejero de Texas, cuenta su historia como músico callejero y el camino que lo llevó a convertirse en una de las voces más importantes del soul de esta generación.  ¡Visite el blog!

The guys are back with a producer, a theme song, sponsors and plugs. We open up discussing going to the Saints home opener at the Dome, and speculate on what dirt new kicker Wil Lutz must have on coach Sean Payton. We spend the rest of the pod introducing the Douvillympics, to take place in New Olreans' City Park every two years. Special Thanks to Egg Yolk Jubilee, Griper Nugent, Terranova, Bob Roth's Lounge, and Grupo Fantasma.

Adrian Quesada first made a name for himself as a founding member and producer of the Grammy winning latin-rock bigband, Grupo Fantasma. Since then, he's been writing and working on several projects. Most recently, he partnered with songwriter Eric Burton and formed Black Pumas, an Austin Texas based band that has just released their debut album on ATO Records. It's a collection of classic soul-flavored tracks in great songwriting, but is not simply a retro retread. Taking queues from hip-hop and psychedelic genres and parring them with a mix of classic and modern recording techniques, and a live off-the-floor approach, The Black Pumas have created a future classic of their own. Larry interviewed Adrian back for Tape Op Issue #94, so having Geoff Stanfield, Tape Op online publisher catch up with him was long overdue. Enjoy! Sponsored by Yousician yousician.com

Both old and new, Austin-based band Black Pumas is centered around guitarist and producer Adrian Quesada and 27-year-old songwriter Eric Burton. Grammy Award-winning Quesada has played in Grupo Fantasma and Brownout, and accompanied artists from Prince to Daniel Johnston. Burton grew up in church and then got heavily involved in musical theater. He arrived in Austin in 2015 after busking his way across the country from Los Angeles, and connected with Quesada on the phone. From idea to session to self-titled debut album, they've been making music that is neither retro nor derivative, with influences ranging from Sam Cooke to Neil Young and Ghostface Killah. Now a touring machine, Black Pumas brings their skillful combination of folky strum, sticky funk, dusty psych, and old soul to an in-studio session. - Caryn Havlik Watch the session here:    

Episode 020 of *The Upful LIFE Podcast* returns in its new every-third-week scheduling, back in the saddle with a revealing interview with very special guest Ms. Anna Moss, one half of the quirky, funky, folky, jazzy, and downright intoxicating musical duo Handmade Moments. The group, whom I've worked with a couple of times in the past few years, were coming through the Bay Area for an exquisite gig in a redwood grove at UC Berkeley's picturesque botanical gardens. In between soundcheck, their masterful performance, and a quick departure northbound for the iconic Oregon Country Fair, Anna Moss was kind enough to carve out some time for me: both before their set and after. Please enjoy a heartfelt conversation on a their unique path taken, tragedy and healing, overcoming adversity, and what the future may hold for the enigmatic singer and multi-instrumentalist, her partner Joel Ludford, and their magical musical project, Handmade Moments. ANNA MOSS Intro > Interview @ 17min 30secs We begin with a brief discussion of our stunning environs and the towering redwoods in which we would enjoy their concert at UC Berkeley, before embarking on a trip into the way-back machine and their humble Ozark beginnings. The Eureka Springs, AR-bred singer/songwriter/saxophonist takes us into her formative years with two influential godmothers, progressive women way ahead of their time, who introduced Anna to the likes of Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Louis Armstrong. From there she discovered Nina Simone, Etta James, and one begins to understand just what and who inspired this young woman to emanate a wisdom, voice and aura far beyond her years. Moss then takes us to the moment when she first met Joel Ludford, and how their musical relationship and artistic dynamic took flight. Anna recalls the early days with the rock-band precursor to Handmade Moments, a larger ensemble called Don't Stop Please. Moss reflects on how she and Joel evolved into a new endeavor from the ashes of this band, and how one can trace the DNA of Handmade Moments to this embryonic project.  From there, we get into the thick of things, as Anna details how Handmade Moments made their bones on a 5 year grind of touring, traveling, busking, writing, gigging, and just keeping their proverbial nose to the grindstone. Yet on one fateful May 2016 afternoon in glorious Northern California, their beloved bio-diesel bus- that they spent six months laboring to build, and lived, toured and gigged in for nearly a year- was struck by two vehicles in a devastating head-on collision. In an instant, everything changed. In our conversation, Moss takes us through this experience in harrowing detail. The resulting wreck required a Medivac for Ludford, who was severely injured from the waist down. He spent a month in the hospital, three more in a wheelchair. Moss herself had a concussion, two other passengers were injured as well, and all four called themselves lucky to be alive. At this point in our interview, Anna must excuse herself to soundcheck and then play their gig in the Redwood grove in the UC Botanical Garden. For the pause in the conversation, please enjoy Handmade Moments' exquisite cover of Aaliyah's timeless "R U That Somebody?", and then we return to the interview after their performance. After the riveting set, Moss was kind enough to finish up this story and share a little bit more about herself and the group. In the immediate aftermath of this accident, she and Ludford retreated into the nurturing bosom of Nevada City, CA to recover, and begin the healing process the only way they knew how, through music. Over the next three months, these meditations and ruminations fueled the writing, recording, and realization of Paw Paw Tree, their third full length LP, and first for Jumpsuit Records.  From there, Moss takes us up into the present, including the pair relocating to the great city of NOLA, their tours of Europe, South America, and a recent coast-to-coast stateside excursion as direct support for their pals Yonder Mountain String Band. She exudes excitement for both Oregon Country Fair and Northwest String Summit. To close out this fascinating powwow, Moss touches on some of her favorite, best-kept secrets in the music scene back in Arkansas, making sure to shine a light on some friends, peers, and collaborators back home. She also gives us the scoop on their plans for the future, beginning with a long-awaited Handmade Moments covers album, and Anna's goal for a New Orleans jazz release, something she'd like to create and record right there in the Crescent City.  Anna Moss is a very special artist and human being, and I feel lucky to be in her orbit, and Joel's as well. As I'm fond of saying, 'twas an honor and privilege to sit and share these conversations with her in such marvelous, majestic surrounds. Keep eyes and ears peeled for all things Handmade Moments, this duo is destined for greatness.    HILARY GLEASON Interview @ 1:10:35   Another inspiring female in our extended music family, Hilary Gleason is CEO of Level, a philanthropic consulting firm specializing in humanitarian efforts. Hers is a story of humble beginnings as well, and Gleason was kind enough to take a half-hour out of her extremely busy professional schedule, meet me in the lobby of SF's posh Park 55 hotel, to speak to Upful LIFE. (Please excuse the crowd noise, we did the best we could) Among her myriad goals, Hilary intends to inspire others to seek out their passions, and to take on missions that really matter, not just to ourselves, but to society, to the culture, and to humanity. Her various benevolent endeavors including traveling to Africa and working with neurosurgical teams in Uganda, and also boots-on-the-ground efforts with US-based non-profit organizations like Headcount.org, as well as WinterWondergrass, among others. Gleason also shares a very cool story about how she first got connected with the very same music scene that brings so many of us together: the extended Lettuce/Soulive/Royal Family, taking us back a few years to when she initially landed in Brooklyn and found herself at Brooklyn Bowl's Bowlive, and how kind folks like guitarist Eric Krasno (Soulive) unknowingly helped Gleason identify her path and passion in life. Now she is in turn becoming a facilitator for others, leading by example and being the change; Gleason has dedicated her professional life to this mission. Hilary is a shining example of what can happen when you follow your heart AND the funk, only to find your purpose in life along the way. Keep shining, Hilary Gleason!     *Vibe Junkie JAM of the Week*    The white-hot Austin, TX-based project Black Pumas unveil "Colors", recorded live at Studio 1A earlier this summer. What a powerful slab of emotion, an aesthetic and an undeniable vibe that feels not just authentic, but is nothing short of cathartic for the listener. WARNING: Goosebumps!! Shoutout to Randy Bayers at FunkitBlog and John Speice IV (Brownout, Grupo Fantasma) for putting me onto these phenomenal cats outta Tejas. Stoked for what the future holds for this group, but for now, sink into "Colors." The Upful LIFE Podcast is available on iTunes! Theme Song: Mazel Tov by CALVIN VALENTINE

The latest release from Austin’s world class cumbia ensemble, Grupo Fantasma is an ambitious platter that covers everything from everything from Turkish psychedelia to Tex-Mex. We caught up with Greg Gonzalez and Beto Martinez from the band to talk about growing up on the border, the band’s recent trip to Colombia and why they named the new collection“American Music Vol. VII.”

Holy Golden is the multifaceted musical world of Leslie Schott and Andrew Valenti. who met during a lunar eclipse on Martha's Vineyard and soon began crafting mythological mini-worlds into home-recorded albums, music videos, short films, and photo stories.  Holy Golden's music blends euphoric dream-pop with lo-fi garage rock to create songs that feel both vulnerable and mysterious.  They have released two full-length albums, several music videos, and a new EP, toured throughout the US twice and will release a new album, Otherworld, recorded from a historic ballroom in Newport, Rhode Island, will be released February 2 along with the single from the album,  "Arrival" . Money Chicha is an Austin, Texas based group featuring members of the Grammy-award winning Latin orchestra Grupo Fantasma and its offshoot funk outfit Brownout. They play a fuzzed-out, reverb-drenched and percussion-heavy music inspired by the sounds of Peru and Colombia in the 60’s and 70’s, sometimes called “Chicha” music, known for Latin beats, psychedelic surf guitar pyrotechnics and melodies influenced by the indigenous culture of the Andes mountains. Money Chicha is a modern translation of this South American musical style by highly skilled veteran artists.  Money Chicha’s debut album Echo en Mexico was released in July 2016 on Vampisoul/Munster records, and they have been featured in numerous compilations and tours.

Fantastic Negrito (Xavier Dphrepaulezz) es uno de nuestros protagonista hoy en Future Beats. Su álbum es asombroso, un híbrido formidable de los viejos blues de Skip James y Roberto Johnson; y del sonido de Public Enemy y James Brown hasta el hip hop y el R&B contemporáneos.Su trayectoria es tan sorprendente como su música: hace muchos años un amigo de Xavier que trabajaba como caddie le cogió a escondidas una de sus cintas y se la pasó al manager de Prince, Joe Ruffalo en el club de golf BelAir Country Club. Joe le puso un apartamento a su disposición y empezó a mostrar sus canciones en diferentes sellos. Finalmente el productor Jimmy Iovine le fichó para Interscope Records. Aunque la experiencia de trabajar para un gran sello no fue nada satisfactoria. Un accidente de coche le dejó en coma y le restó movilidad en su manos. Interscope anuló su contrato. Sin embargo, para Xavier esto supuso una liberación creativa y un baño de humildad. Después de licenciar algunos temas para cine y televisión, y tras su paso como promotor de clubs ilegales sólo volvió a crear y tocar música para entretener a su hijo. Poco a poco surgieron los temas y las ideas que le ha llevado a firmar uno de los discos más sorprendentes del año bajo el pseudónimo Fantastic Negrito.Hoy también estrenamos el álbum de debut de River Tiber, una pirueta electrónica con refinada actitud soul. Y el primer disco de la ecuatoriana Maria Usbeck bajo su nombre, pop electrónico cantado en español con sutiles referencias sonoras a su país de origen. Y seguimos repasando los últimos trabajos de Calypso Rose (con la producción de Manu Chao), Money Chicha (el nuevo proyecto desde Austin de algunos miembros de Grupo Fantasma), Miossec y el recopilatorio esencial y alucinante Space Echo: The Cosmic Sound Of Cabo Verde Finally RevealedNuestro invitado hoy es el guitarrista legendario de rock nicaragüense Alfonso Lobo. Su disco La Gigantona es un álbum grabado en 1976 e inédito durante casi cuarenta años. Ha sido publicado y reivindicado finalmente por el sello Numero Group."Cuando me llamaron del sello para decirme que publicaban este disco al cabo de tantos años, lo que más ilusión me hizo no fue el dinero, sino que se dé a conocer esta música. Trabajé con unos músicos formidables, en parte por ello la repercusión de este disco es tan considerable"

Sonidero Mandril, Psicosis Tropical y Wiriko presentan el próximo 9 de julio en Madrid, Sala Caracol al trío Batuk en concierto, house sudafricano tribal de altos vuelos. “Hay un terreno por descubrir en la electrónica. Se conocen las propuestas de América Latina pero desconocemos mucho de lo que se hace al respecto en el continente africano” “La de Batuk es una propuesta muy p.tente, no vistos en España, que aúna voces en directo, bases de deep house y otros elementos electrónicos y de raíz. En todo caso es una reinterpretación de los ritmos electrónicos conocidos ahora mismo.” Además hoy estrenamos el nuevo proyecto desde Austin Greg Gonzalez y Beto Martínez (integrantes de Grupo Fantasma) al frente de Money Chicha; compartimos los diez años de carrera de Negro Dub (Zzk Records) y la publicación de una recopilación con sus mejores remezclas (Stromae, Los Ángeles Azules, Andrés Landero); y revisamos la tercera entrega de Mick Harvey (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds) dedicada a Serge Gainsbourg, su empeño por adaptar al inglés los textos del francés es encomiable, y sale realmente muy bien parado al atreverse de nuevo con clásicos como L'Homme à tête de chou o La décadanse. También suenan hoy en Future Beats el productor dub Adrian Sherwood, del que se ha publicado el segundo volumen de una serie de recopilaciones dirigidas por Trevor Jackson, Ocote Soul Sounds y Robert Le Magnifique.

Hoy Ocote Soul Sounds abren una nueva y poliédrica edición de Future Beats. El proyecto común de Martin Perna (Antibalas) y el imparable productor y músico Adrián Quesada (Echocentrics, Grupo Fantasma) cuenta con una nueva referencia, un single adelanto de su próximo álbum en el que también participan Chico Mann y Quantic.Remate es hoy nuestro invitado. Le entrevista Darío Manrique y presenta Cabello de ángel, tocino de cielo. Su nuevo disco habla de sus antepasados “se trata de mirar con perspectiva de responder aquello del -dónde vengo y a dónde voy-. Mi familia tiene un peso grande en mí. Tuve que alcanzar un punto frío para observar a mi familia como un objeto de estudio. Dejando que la importancia de los sucesos saliera a flote por sí misma.” Y añade, “pienso de forma más cinematográfica que literaria. Pienso en escenas a la hora de escribir”También repasamos los nuevos álbumes de Allah-Las, grabado en Los Ángeles, de nuevo en cinta analógica pero con la misma mesa de mezclas que utilizaron The Beach Boys para Pet Sounds. Los últimos lanzamientos de La Yegros, Public Service Broadcasting, Laura Mvula y Nile Rodgers, Andre Williams con una oda intensa a su añorado Detroit y el sorprendente recopilatorio Space Echo, The Cosmic Sound Of Cabo Verde Finally Revealed.

Along the Texas-Mexican border in the 19th century, Mexicans, Native Americans, and Anglo-Americans living in the region intermingled with European immigrants looking for new opportunities. The clash and fusion of multiple languages and traditions resulted in a distinct "Tejano" culture. Tejano music is influenced by Mexican storytelling ballads called corridos, accordion-based polkas of norteño music, Anglo-American fiddle music, mariachi bands, Colombian cumbia, and the lively brass section of small, local bands called orquestas—not to mention salsa, rock, jazz, blues, funk, and country. Border music also owes its sound to German immigrants who filled dance halls with waltzes, polkas, and the distinctive tones of the accordion. Narciso Martínez was one of the first and most influential accordion players in the border region due to his virtuosic, fast-paced playing. When he brought together the accordion with the bajo sexto (12-string bass guitar) in the 1930s, conjunto music was born.
