Du tonkori à la flûte traversière, un voyage intime entre l'archipel d'Hokkaidô et la France. Et la Syrie. Nous avons profité de la venue à Paris de l'artiste japonais OKI à la Maison de la Culture du Japon à Paris (MCJP) pour l'inviter dans la #SessionLive.  Le Japon n'est pas, comme on le croit souvent, une société composée d'un seul groupe ethnique. Dans le nord de l'archipel, en particulier à Hokkaidô, le peuple aïnou a su préserver sa langue, ses coutumes et sa culture, malgré les politiques d'assimilation et les discriminations. Aujourd'hui, la population aïnoue est estimée à quelques dizaines de milliers de personnes. La loi japonaise de 2019 reconnaissant les Aïnous en tant que peuple autochtone montre que leur situation évolue (MCJP). Oki & Rekpo biographie Depuis plus de 30 ans, OKI joue un rôle essentiel dans la renaissance de la musique aïnoue. Dans ses créations, il perpétue son héritage musical tout en y intégrant des éléments d'autres genres tels que le reggae, le blues ou encore le dub. C'est aussi en électrifiant le tonkori, un instrument à cordes traditionnel, qu'il a donné une dimension résolument contemporaine à cette musique ancestrale. Sa carrière internationale l'a mené en Europe, aux États-Unis et en Asie, dans des festivals aussi renommés que le Womad au Royaume-Uni. OKI a aussi produit des artistes aïnous comme la grande chanteuse Umeko Ando et le groupe vocal féminin Marewrew sur son label Chikar Studio. Sur scène et dans la #SessionLive, Oki se produit avec son épouse, la chanteuse Rekpo, son fils le batteur Manaw et le bassiste Takashi Nakajô (MCJP) Titres interprétés au grand studio - Topatttumi Live RFI - Iuta Upopo (Pestle Song) avec la voix de Umeko Ando - Hekuri Sarari Live RFI.

YouTube - Facebook Bandcamp artistes aïnous 2022 (Five Ainu Artists Revitalizing Indigenous Japanese Music | Bandcamp Daily)    Puis nous recevons Naïssam Jalal pour la sortie de son album Souffles. Naïssam Jalal surprend avec Souffles, son nouvel album écrit comme un dialogue intime et inspiré entre soufflants. Ce dixième album marque une nouvelle étape dans le parcours de la flûtiste, confirmant son talent de compositrice, narratrice et improvisatrice. Elle unit son souffle à celui de huit instrumentistes à vent d'exception et révèle huit duos vibrants. Chaque pièce qu'elle écrit met en valeur la sensibilité et la technique de chaque invité, tout en proposant des combinaisons instrumentales inédites. « Il y a plusieurs années, déclare Naïssam, je me suis rendue compte que je ne jouerais probablement jamais avec ces camarades soufflants qui me touchent dans leur expression musicale et que je côtoie pourtant dans les festivals de jazz depuis des années. J'ai réalisé qu'il n'existerait probablement jamais d'occasion de mêler nos sons et nos souffles à moins de l'imaginer et de la provoquer. » Décrit comme un lieu de rencontre qui interroge le rapport des musiciens à leur instrument et au jeu en commun, Souffles invite aussi à écouter autrement, à percevoir la musique dans ce qu'elle a de plus intime. « Cet album est né du désir de créer un son commun avec mes pairs, puisqu'en tant que soufflants, nous partageons des problématiques auxquelles nous répondons chacun avec notre sensibilité et notre singularité, de manière plus ou moins consciente. Comment créer un discours musical en ne jouant qu'une seule note à la fois, continue-t-elle, même si certains d'entre nous essayons d'échapper à cette contrainte en créant des doubles sons avec nos instruments ou en ayant recours à la voix ? Comment aborder la linéarité mélodique dans l'horizontalité ou en essayant de reconstituer une certaine verticalité ? Comment incarner le rôle de celui qui porte « fatalement » le discours mélodique ? Comment gérer le fait de se servir d'un élément aussi intime que nos souffles, l'air de nos entrailles pour créer du beau ? Cette mise à nu, qu'implique-t-elle dans notre rapport à l'intimité, au spirituel et à l'autre, celui ou celle qui nous écoute et qui entend le fruit de nos souffles ? » Le duo formé avec Thomas de Pourquery inaugure l'album dans une puissante ascension. Elle est suivie par le tandem constitué avec le clarinettiste Yom qui se révèle d'une délicatesse presque mystique. Le troisième souffle aux côtés de Sylvain Rifflet reprend de la vitesse et dessine une escapade rythmée, un jeu de questions-réponses rondement mené. Pour le clarinettiste Louis Sclavis, Naïssam Jalal compose une pièce taillée dans la pierre. Les pleins et les silences s'équilibrent à merveille et tout naturellement, la formation excelle dans l'interprétation. Heureux rebond que celui d'entendre les rythmiques chaloupées du saxophoniste Irving Acao. Le vent souffle en direction du tromboniste Robinson Khoury et l'alliance se joue à cœur battant. La pièce jouée avec Emile Parisien se distingue par sa précision remarquable et une cadence harmonieuse et maîtrisée. Leur union fait mouche et s'harmonise dans leur technicité. «Souffle #1» en duo avec le légendaire Archie Shepp, signe ce qui sera le premier single de l'album.  Pour la #SessionLive Naïssam Jalal est accompagnée par Sylvain Rifflet.

Reggae artist Protoje who graced The Bowl stage at WOMAD Aotearoa this year, speaks to Kadambari Raghukumar in this episode on all things from patties to performances. The world's awash with so many mixed messages about Jamaica but what makes the intrigue endure is this incessant stream of positivity, upfulness and the calibre of music that the country puts out.One of Jamaica's reigning reggae icons Protoje performed at The Bowl stage at this year's WOMAD Aotearoa and Kadambari Raghukumar got to chat with him, pre-show. The conversation goes from chatting about his parents, politics, patties of course, to the idea of why most people nowadays may associate Jamaican music just dancehall. "People here today they're gonna see me a reggae music artist from Jamaica, their perception of what Jamaican music is going to be also that and other stuff. I think it's just visibility. It's about doing the work, being on the ground, playing the shows, being active and spreading that energy globally. it's action, you know? I can do it by going out there and playing music and letting people see the type of songs we have to offer, which we do on a global scale."Protoje along with other artists like Kabaka Pyramid, Lila Ike are all part of a group of artists emerging out of Jamaica responsible for spearheading what's been a roots reggae revival of sorts, focussed on conscious music. "I think we all have some message and if we listen to each other, I'm sure we can decipher the message that all of us have. I just feel that I've been fortunate to have a platform and to share the thoughts that come up in my head on lonely nights and people get to hear it."Born Oje Ken Ollivierre and raised in St Elizabath, Jamaica, both of Protoje's parents were reggae and calypso singers - Lorna Bennett and Mike Ollivierre - but there's no sense of pressure when it comes to him carrying forward a legacy he said. "I don't look at it like that. It's all a good cycle. I'm My parents live within me, I just do the music that I do. I'm privileged to work with my mum. She's my manager. So she gets a second time to live through music and she's excited."Protoje's even keel attitude is hard to ignore, unaffected and unperturbed by the high energies of a festival like WOMAD. "It's life sometimes. Your emotions up and down. For me, especially if I have a show. I'm chill, I'm easy. I save my energy for stage because it's real energy. You're giving your energy to people. So I try to just keep it balanced, as low key as possible."Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

Yadana Saw previews some of the acts that are taking the stage at WOMAD this weekend, plus a look ahead to the final Homegrown festival in Wellington.

I had the best day yesterday at WOMAD with a wonderful bunch of friends. Khruangbin were incredible, I was soaring through the trees for the entire 90 minutes that they played. And I'm still having the best time at the Adelaide Fringe in what has turned from a two-week, eight-show run, into a month-long season of 17 performances.   I feel like I'm getting better at choosing not to engage with things and people that don't make me feel good. There's so much of that out there, especially if you spend even a bit of time on the internet. Comment sections are full of angry, hurt people taking their feelings out on the world. It's their choice to do that, and we really can't do anything to stop them, but we all have the power to choose how we react to that stuff, and I choose to disengage.   Today I tried to wash my Mum's partner's car at the car wash and after downloading their stupid app, giving them my details, confirming my phone number, and then paying for a $12 wash with my card, they told me that the machine was broken and I couldn't use the thing I'd just paid for. It's in infuriating situations like that when the use of those reserves of energy is warranted - I sent them an email, and you better believe I will be calling them tomorrow, and reporting them to consumer affairs if I don't get my money back and some vouchers on top of it. 'Happy Wash' indeed.   And this is my point man!! If I was letting myself get angry at every lunatic I saw on the internet, maybe I wouldn't have enough left of myself to pursue these motherfuckers when I actually need to. And yes I DO need to, by the way. Oh I will have my twelve dollars. And then I'll go back to enjoying good times with wonderful friends, which is where the energy comes from in the first place.

Beloved Kiwi indie rock band The Beths are set to headline the main stage at WOMAD next weekend, ahead of their upcoming Australian tour.

Ahora sí: Julio Correal. Increíble que en 10 años de hacer podcast el "baby" no haya estado aún en ninguno de los episodios, pero por fin lo está. A Julio me une una profunda amistad de música; lo conocí cuando los Aterciopelados estaban lanzando 'Caribe Atómico' en 1998 y yo estaba recién llegado a Bogotá. Luego de eso la vida en la música de él y en la radio mía han conectado una y otra vez y eso ha traido consigo los retos y las cosas buenas de tener amigos en el entretenimiento. Esta charla tiene todo lo bueno que trae una conversación con Julio Correal: anécdotas, risas y opiniones de todo tipo. Una de ellas, sobre el reggaetón; otra sobre Ca7riel y Paco Amoroso, el dúo de moda; otra sobre su proyecto más anhelado en la actualidad: hacer el festival WOMAD en Colombia.

English/Kiwi rock band The Veils were announced this week in the first line-up of acts to headline next year's WOMAD festival. The enigmatic indie band have a reputation for their intense live performances, and they'll be teaming up with a few classical musicians for their performance at the festival. Frontman Finn Andrews told Jack Tame that it'll be a “pretty raucous affair”. He said that working with classical musicians gives them the option to lean into the extremes. “It kinda just intensifies that even more. I think it's gonna be really full on and really quiet and intimate as well.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Grandma Nam reached out to caress Lee Ui-seon's (pseudonym) face that she could make out in the moonlight. There was something in the look Ui-seon was giving her as she loomed over the bed: murderous intent. The long knife reflected the moonlight as she swung it down onto her grandmother's neck with all of the hatred she had in her heart for mankind. Had the feminist group WOMAD radicalized her into a killer? Or was there something more sinister in her heart? Join the KTC's ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ today!

LIVE from WOMAD - Dale really enjoyed the audience questions on this live session which was off the charts, just brilliant.  Great questions, great discussion, wide ranging, free ranging really - and great fun.  Made the day.

Recorded LIVE at WOMAD. We cover the origin of 'Just Stop the Tories,' the significance of the recent Labour election victory, and their rapid policy changes. We also delve into Labour's green credentials, the Green Party's views and the economic benefits of renewable energy... Additionally, we discuss personal anecdotes with Tory MPs, public misconceptions about green energy, and the evolving role of direct action and protest.

Some cracking tracks this week and look at World Music in 1984! Dedicated to the Womad team! Playlist OOTW 740

The Tories have been stopped, Labour wastes no time, and we look at a bit of green-on-green action. Dale's feeling the pressure for a new name, NIMBYs in the firing line, and another eco-activist in the dock as we ask - why are the good guys getting banged up? Another temperature record, windmills with no gears, what has Ian learned in 5 years of doing this… and other fab listener questions. Our last episode of the season ends on a high as we look ahead to a live show at WOMAD and the Vegan Camp Out.

Crawling out of our post-Glasto, post-election black hole – we're back, and the Tories have been stopped by a massive Labour win. We talk about lifting the onshore wind farm ban, banning bee-killing pesticides, and halting new oil and gas licenses, plus Moggy is out... The Tory party leader merry-go-round continues unabashed, and we need a new season title – coz the Tories have been stopped (worth saying twice). Also, we got Grid Faeries powering the Arcadia field at Glasto, and their next gig is Womad, where we'll record the final episode of this series – live onstage...:)

This week kicks off with our fave - the right wingnuts… There's a legal update and we talk about Rees-Mogg, the posh man's Julia Hartley-Brewer, and his claims so wildly untrue they're almost laughable - we fact check him, hard (and yes, it riles Dale up...). The Welsh Government plans to clamp down on exactly this kind of thing - making it illegal for politicians to lie. Big Oil's lies are the stuff of legend, a new expose confirms. Meanwhile, climate change is not the end of the world, says Cambridge Prof, which Dale agrees… We also talk planes powered by sewage, and field some fab questions, not least about the Massive Attack gig, WOMAD, and the ‘Grid Faeries'.

She shares her deep connection to her indigenous heritage, discussing the importance of language, traditional practices, and the concept of radical acceptance.

Theia has clocked up more than 17 million streams on Spotify alone and has earned critical acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone and Billboard Magazine, which described her as “one of the most exciting voices to emerge from New Zealand in the last five years”. Theia's now gearing up to release her debut album, which she revealed for the first time at the official LA Pride 2023 afterparty and headlining Sum Of Us festival in the Sierra Nevada mountains in September. In February she is playing the sold out Camp A Lo Hum, in March she is headlining Vancouver queer club night Babes On Babes and the prestigious WOMAD festival.

STAR SIGN : Libra QUEER FUN FACT : “In my native language te reo Maaori, 'moe' means both 'to marry' and 'to sleep with' - our phrase for 'lesbian' is 'wahine moe wahine' which means 'a woman who marries or sleeps with women' - i think that's incredibly beautiful and tender."

Last weekend I went to the Womad festival in Adelaide. A festival should always be bigger than the sum of its parts, and I was struck by the myriad ways and moments in which different acts spoke to one another, tracing a lineage of genres and their influence – from pioneers of Afrobeat, Ethio-jazz, Tropicália and Zamrock to younger generations of artists, and across multitude permutations of soul, funk, R&B and rock. Tonight I will show you how the speaking was done.Tune into new broadcasts of Liquid Sunshine, LIVE, Tuesday from 8 – 10 PM EST / 1 - 3 AM GMT (Wednesday)For more info visit https://thefaceradio.com/liquid-sunshine//Dig this show?

In Adelaide, thousands of people attended international music and arts festival WOMAD over the weekend. Among this year's attractions, the Ukrainian community created a café to share music, culture and food… and raise money for the Ukraine Crisis Appeal. It's also the culmination of an art therapy project for Ukrainians displaced by the war who have painted the cafe chairs with symbols of hope. - В Аделаиде в минувшие выходные тысячи людей посетили международный фестиваль музыки и искусства WOMAD. Украинская община представила кафе, где делились музыкой, культурой и едой… и собирали деньги для Ukraine Crisis Appeal. Кроме того, была организована арт-терапия для украинцев, переехавших из-за войны, которые расписали стулья кафе символами надежды.
