Less than a hundred miles inland from the capital city of Lima lies the
great Peruvian jungle, an untamed land of impenetrable forests and
endless winding rivers. In its isolated cities, cut off from the
fashions of the capital, a unique style of music began to develop,
inspired equally by the sounds of the surrounding forests, the roll of
the mighty Amazon and Ucayali Rivers, and the rhythms of cumbia picked
up from distant stations on transistor radios. With the arrival of
electricity, a new generation of young musicians started plugging in
their guitars and trading in their accordions for synthesizers:
Amazonian cumbia was born.Powered by fast-paced timbale rhythms,
driven by spidery, treble-damaged guitar lines, and drenched in bright
splashes of organ, Amazonian cumbia was like a hyperactive distant
cousin of surf music crossed with an all-night dance party in the heart
of the forest. While many of the genre’s greatest tracks were
instrumental, and others were simple celebrations of life in the jungle,
the goal of every song was to keep the party going.Radio stations in Lima remained unaware of the new electric sounds emanating from the jungle, but a handful of pioneeringrecord producers ventured over the mountain passes to the cities of Tarapoto, Moyobamba, Pucallpa – even Iquitos, a cityreachable only by boat or plane – and lured dozens of bands to the recording studios of the capital to lay down their besttracks. Although many became local hits, few were ever heard outside the Amazonian region … until now.With eighteen tracks from some of the greatest names in Amazonian cumbia, Perú Selvatico is both the improbable soundtrackto a beach party on a banks of the Amazon and a psychedelic safari into the sylvan mysteries of the Peruvian jungle.
The official retrospective on one of Somalia's most famous and beloved
private bands, Iftin, and a companion compilation to our
Grammy-nominated "Sweet As Broken Dates". Digitized from cassettes
recorded between 1982 and 1987 at the legendary Al-Uruba hotel's secret
studio and the jams for the masses performed in the basement of
Somalia's national theater. Banaadiri rhythms from Somalia's south,
Mogadishu's finest vocalists, Dhaanto reggae-like guitar licks, and
smoldering brass blend seamlessly with the sounds of Asia, the Middle
East, and Africa to form one of rawest, most cosmopolitan eras of music
anywhere. Iftin's Mogadishu is where the world's sounds begin and end.

Fela Kutis 'Afrodisiac' wird zum 50. Jubiläum aufwändig auf limitiertem
marmor-grünen (LP1) und marmor-rotem (LP2) Doppelvinyl wieder
veröffentlicht, inklusive goldenem Obi-Strip und Liner Notes von Chris
May.Fela Kuti (1938-1997) war ein nigerianischer Musiker, Produzent,
Arrangeur, politischer Radikaler, Geächteter und der Begründer des
Afrobeat. Felas musikalisches und gesellschaftspolitisches Vermächtnis
umspannt Jahrzehnte und Genres wie Jazz, Pop, Funk, Hip-Hop, Rock und
mehr.'Afrodisiac' ist das fünfte Album in der Reihe der
Wiederveröffentlichungen zum 50-jährigen Jubiläum von Fela. Die Songs
auf 'Afrodisiac' waren Stücke, die Fela und die Nigeria 70 (später
Africa 70) 1972 in den Abbey Road Studios neu aufnahmen, nachdem sie in
Nigeria zu Hits geworden waren. Der bekannteste Song des Albums, 'Jeun
Ko Ku', ist auf diesem Album unter seinem Pidgin-Titel 'Chop and Quench'
('Fressen und Sterben') aufgeführt - eine Satire über Völlerei und
Felas erster großer Hit in Westafrika. 'Afrodisiac' wurde 2014 als
Teil des von Brian Eno kuratierten 'Fela Box Set #3' erstmals auf Vinyl
wiederveröffentlicht. Eno spielte 'Afrodisiac' für David Byrne und war
damit ein großer Einfluss auf Talking Heads 'Remain In Light'.
'Kel Tinariwen' ist eine aufschlussreiche Entdeckung aus den
Tinariwen-Archiven, eine MC mit frühen Aufnahmen der legendären
Tuareq-Band, die 1992 nur innerhalb ihrer Sahara-Stammesgebiete erschien
und jetzt erstmals die offizielle Veröffentlichung erlebt. 'Kel
Tinariwen' hat noch nicht den vollen Bandsound entwickelt, mit dem sich
Tinariwen international etablierten, und erweitert die reiche Geschichte
der Band um eine weitere Epoche. Ihr Markenzeichen sind die
hypnotischen Gitarrenlinien und der Call-and-Response-Gesang, die sich
zwischen rauen Drum-Machine-Rhythmen und Keyboard-Melodien verweben und
fast an eine arabische Version von 80er Synth-Pop erinnern. Es gibt
deutliche Parallelen zwischen den Klängen auf diesem Band und der
Arbeit, die in den letzten Jahren von Cratedigger-Labels wie Awesome
Tapes From Africa, Sahel Sounds und Sublime Frequencies entdeckt wurde.

Das neue Jeb Loy Nichols-Album besteht aus zwölf düsteren, aber
wunderschönen Stücken, bei denen der langjährige Freund und Produzent
Adrian Sherwood seinen charakteristischen Dub-Ansatz gegen sorgfältig
zurückgenommene Arrangements eintauscht. Akustikgitarre und Jebs Stimme
werden umrahmt von subtilen Bläsersätzen, Cello und Perkussion sowie
Keyboardbeiträgen von Martin Duffy (Primal Scream, Felt). Politisch
aufgeladene Coverversionen ('I Hate The Capitalist System', 'Deportees')
stehen neben eher introspektivem Material, darunter einige der besten
Songs, die Nichols bisher geschrieben hat. Adrian Sherwood fügt hinzu:
'Dies ist Jebs 'Great American Songbook', er ist im Laufe der Jahre ein
großartiger Sänger und Songwriter geworden. Es ist ein wunderschönes
Werk, das an unsere gemeinsame Liebe zu dem Miracle-Album erinnert, das
ich mit Bim Sherman gemacht habe. Ich bin wirklich stolz auf diese
Platte und sie ist ein passender Nachfolger von Long Time Traveller.'
Cuba: Music and Revolution: Culture Clash in Havana: Experiments in
Latin Music 1975-85 Vol. 2 is the new album compiled by Gilles Peterson
and Stuart Baker (Soul Jazz Records) that takes off in exactly the same
vein as the much-acclaimed Vol. 1 - exploring the many styles that came
out of Cuba in the 1970s as Latin and Salsa mixed with heavy doses of
Jazz, Funk, and Disco to create some of the most dancefloor-friendly
music ever made!Much of the music on this album is featured in the
deluxe large format book 'Cuba: Music and Revolution: Original Cover Art
of Cuban Music: Record Sleeve Designs of Revolutionary Cuba 1959-90',
released by Soul Jazz Books and also compiled by Gilles Peterson and
Stuart Baker (Soul Jazz Records), featuring the music and record designs
of Cuba, made in the 30-year period following the Cuban Revolution.
Cuba: Music and Revolution: Culture Clash in Havana: Experiments in
Latin Music 1975-85 Vol. 1 is a new album compiled by Gilles Peterson
and Stuart Baker (Soul Jazz Records) that explores the many new styles
that emerged in Cuba in the 1970s as Jazz, Funk, Brazilian Tropicalia
and even Disco mixed together with Latin and Salsa on the island as
Cuban artists experimented with new musical forms created in the unique
socialist state. The music on this album features legendary Cuban groups
such as Irakere, Los Van Van and Pablo Milanés as well as a host of
lesser known artists such as the radical Grupo De Experimentación, Juan
Pablo Torres and Algo Nuevo, Grupo Monumental and Orquesta Ritmo
Oriental, groups whose names remain largely unknown outside of Cuba
owing to the now 60-year old US trade embargo which remains in place
today and which prevents trade with Cuba - and thus most Cuban records
were only ever available in Cuba or in ex-Soviet Union states. The music
on this album reflects the most cutting-edge of Cuban groups that were
recording in Cuba in the 1970s and 1980s - who were all searching for a
new Cuban identity and new musical forms that reflected both the
Afro-Cuban cultural heritage of a nation that gave birth to Latin music -
and its new position as a socialist state. Most of the music featured
on this album has never been heard outside of Cuba. Cuba: Music and
Revolution is the third book that Gilles Peterson and Stuart Baker have
collaborated on together and follows on from their two earlier
critically acclaimed books, Freedom, Rhythm and Sound (Revolutionary
Jazz Music in the 1960s and 1970s) and Bossa Nova and the Rise of
Brazilian Music in the 1960s, both of which also had related album
releases on Soul Jazz Records. [info sheet from distr.]
