Charlie Hunters 1995er Blue Note-Debüt „Bing Bing Bing!“ war eine
groovende Tour-de-Force, die Ankunft eines virtuosen Gitarristen, der
auf seiner 8-saitigen Gitarre eine Musik hervorbrachte, die
beeindruckend und unbändig war. Hunters Trio legte hier ein Programm mit
Eigenkompositionen und einem unvergesslichen Cover von Nirvanas „Come
As You Are“ vor.

Primed
for a massive summer, multi-award-winning Billboard chart-topper Sean
Paul heats up 2022 with Scorcha, his 8th full-length album and Island
Records debut. The album is a collaborative celebration of his Jamaican
heritage and dancehall roots in which Sean trades the mic with Buju
Banton and Damian Marley. Dancehall can be stereotyped as a competitive,
macho space where sound clashes are king, but 2021’s Live N Livin set
out to emphasize what’s possible when unity is the goal.

This collection of Jamaican doo wop from the late 1950s through to the early 1960s represents a period in which sound systems had begun to dominate the island, and were starting to step up their rivalry by beginning to record and release their own platters rather than rely on imported records to gain the competitive edge.
With the uniquely Jamaican ska explosion yet to completely catch hold, these tracks are largely imitative of the doo wop and R&B sound that had been reaching the island from American shores & radiowaves, albeit peppered with hints of what was to come ~ some of the future stars of ska, rocksteady and reggae are starting to cut their teeth on these tracks, providing a great view into the fledgling record industry on the island.

»Auffallend, dass die Arrangements weitaus bunter und vielschichtiger daherkommen, ›Father And Son‹ bekommt eine kräftige Prise Country Rock verpasst, bei ›Wild World‹ geht es wild zwischen Klezmer, Ragtime und Vaudeville hin und her, und leider hat ›Where Do The Children Play?‹ nichts von seiner brennenden Aktualität verloren.«(Good Times, Oktober/November 2020)

Los Bitchos sind eine internationale Surf/Psychedelic-Instrumentalband, deren Mitglieder aus allen vier Himmelsrichtungen kommen: UK, Australien, Schweden und Südamerika. Ihr Sound bewegt sich irgendwo zwischen peruanischer Chicha, Cumbia, türkischem Psych, Surf-Gitarren und natürlich ein bisschen schwedischem Pop. Serra Petale (Gitarre), Agustina Ruiz (Keytar), Josefine Jonsson (Bass) und Nic Crawshaw (Schlagzeug) haben sich aber auf nächtlichen Hauspartys oder durch Freunde kennen gelernt. Daher kommt auch ihr einzigartiger Sound. Es ist ungefähr so, als wenn ihre spirituellen Cousins Khruangbin - die übrigens auch Fans von Los Bitchos sind – sich eine Nacht im Shacklewell Arms in Dalston mit billigem Mezcal zudröhnen würden.Ihre Instrumentalstücke erinnern an Szenen, in denen man in einen Wüstensaloon stolziert und eine Reihe flammender Sambucas anzündet, mit einer Tarantino-Heldin auf dem Beifahrersitz mitfährt, oder mit all seinen Freunden unter einer riesigen Piñata die Fiesta seines Lebens feiert. Der Opa der Keytaristin ist ein uruguayischer Cowboy, was kann einen also da noch wundern. Ihr Debüt “Let The Festivities Begin!” erschien am 04.02.2022 und wurde von Alex Kapranos (Franz Ferdinand) in den Gallery Studios in London produziert - dem Aufnahmeraum, der Phil Manzanera (Roxy Music) gehört.
