from Metodo Cardiofonico 2014
Music from the heart. In this case, lierally, as the recordings use, as a rhthmic base, heartbeat recorded in the 1930s by a heart specialist. German Diaz adds instrumentation - trumpet, tuba, oboe, hurdy-gurdy, tuba and clarinet - to create a uniquely organic product.

Born from the collaboration between a purist musicologist, a local singer and a French director breaking borders, the new Electro Bamako celebrates Malian music in all its aspects. More powerful, kind of psychedelic trance on computer-assisted rock mixed with traditional instruments.

Techno trad, with laptops throbbing and samples working overtime, beneath the vocals of Paul Sidibe and added guitars and percussion.

Psychedelic and bluesy electric guitars, hallucinated and hypnotic solos, inhabited voices, hot rhythms ... Between rock and funk... Bamako by night !

triple-guitar fusions from Mali
Zani Diabaté, who died in 2011, was one of the great Malian guitar heroes who never quite made it in the west, despite his adventurous fusion of traditional styles and rock energy; he was compared to Hendrix when the exuberant album Zani Diabaté & The Super Djata Band was released here in 1988. But now his music and style are being resurrected, thanks to percussionist Bamba Dembélé, who played with him in Super Djata before joining the legendary Super Rail Band De Bamako, alongside drummer Maguett Diop and guitarist Moussa Diabaté – who now reappear alongside Dembélé in Bamba Wassoulou Groove. This is a band dominated by three guitarists, with Moussa taking the lead on new songs and old Super Djata favourites. On Farima he switches from a cool, drifting introduction to a driving solo, while Bina is a mellow workout featuring inter-twining guitars...

Skip & Die is a collaboration between the South African vocalist / visual artist Catarina Aimee Dahms (aka Cata.Pirata) and Dutch producer Jori Collignon (C-mon & Kypski, Nobody Beats The Drum). What started as a two-man project, has now been transformed into a full-fledged 4-piece live band.

from Cosmic Serpents 2015
After setting stages on fire around the planet during their successful two-year Riots In The Jungle tour, pan-tropical future bass band SKIP&DIE are back with an exhilarating new album, entitled "Cosmic Serpents" - luring their audiences into a landscape somewhere between paradise, the apocalypse and beyond.
With its re-imagining of global music, irresistible rhythms and beats, acoustic instruments, field recordings and spacey synths, SKIP&DIE’s upcoming album, "Cosmic Serpents", reveals a poetic sonic collage that toys with ideas of transient life, looming death, and the notion that our collective DNA coils throughout eternity like a cosmic serpent...

Khaïra Arby (Timbuktu, Mali, September 21, 1959 - August 19, 2018) was a Malian singer. Khaïra Arby, "The Nightingale of the North", from the desert from Agouni, north of Timbuktu, Mali, and cousin to Ali Farka Touré sings in Songhai, Arabic, Tamashek and Bambara.

from Gossip 2015
Gossip is the fifth album from Khaira Arby, known as 'The Nightingale of the North.' It follows the critically acclaimed 2010 release, Timbuktu Tarab, which introduced many listeners to her music for the first time. Since bursting onto the music scene in the late 1970's, Arby has established herself as one of Mali's greatest treasures. Her resounding voice and infectious band have spread the musical traditions of Arby's hometown, Timbuktu, to audiences worldwide.
The group recorded the foundation for this album during tours in North America and Europe between 2010 and 2012. Unfortunately, Arby and many of her fellow Malians had to relocate to Bamako to escape Islamic fundamentalists enforcing Sharia law during the Northern Mali conflict of 2012. In response, Gossip offers a plea for peace and acceptance for all...

Luis Peixoto started his career in the folk music. Like others of his generation, he grew up with the club culture and gave in the temptation to merge these two styles. Assimétrico is his debut solo album presented in 2017, where the acoustic plucked instruments and powerful sampled traditional and electronic drums are together.

Kiran Ahluwalia is a modern exponent of the great vocal traditions of India and Pakistan which she honors intensely yet departs from in masterful, personal ways. Her original compositions embody the essence of Indian music while embracing influences from Mali and Western blues, rock, R & B and nuances of jazz. With her 5-piece group of electric guitar, accordion, organ, tabla and drum kit, Ahluwalia creates boundary-breaking songs that invite us to explore the human condition, transcending the self by losing ourselves in a trance of groove and melody. Born in India, raised in Canada and currently living in New York City – Ahluwalia has long been on a path to master the art of singing and composing.

from 7 Billion 2018
Kiran Ahluwalia occupies a very special place in the vocal music of the Indian subcontinent. Her chameleonic versatility enables her to move seamlessly between classical, traditional (folk), Sufi and contemporary styles... Like her other highly successful recordings this 2018 one, 7 Billion comes with an aesthetic that is wonderfully expressed in an easily accessible aesthetic. However, unlike much music by stars similar to her who rule the roost in India, Miss Ahluwalia expresses a wider world view and also inhabits a more universal sound-world. She has, for instance, been expressing her music in a sharply socially-conscious manner longer than anyone else on the music scene. Her Indian sensibility has long-since prompted her to tackle issues such as brother-and sisterhood between the fractious elements of the Indian subcontinent (her husband, producer and guitarist Rez Abbasi is of Pakistani-American heritage)...

Palestinian vocalist and composer Rim Banna has made a career out of leveraging respect and dignity for her people using her unmatched artistic expertise and integrity. Banna studied singing and conducting at the High Institute for Music in Moscow, one of the world's more challenging conservatory environments...
Rim Banna, Checkpoint 303, Bugge Wesseltoft 
Checkpoint 303 is a non-profit musical collective from the emerging Arabic and Middle-Eastern underground electronica scene. The activist musical project was launched by Tunisian SC Mocha and Palestinian SC Yosh in 2004 and has secured an avant-garde position on the Arabic underground music scene...
Norwegian jazz pianist who made a smooth transition to the techno and dance music scene. Bringing a thoroughly contemporary sound to the piano and keyboards, Bugge Wesseltoft made a huge impact in his homeland of Norway during the '90s. After that, he toured internationally, working in both jazz and rock contexts. In the early '90s he was a member of Arild Andersen's band, and played on Jan Garbarek's Molde Canticle, a commission from the Molde Jazz Festival.

Maryam 5:24
from Voice of Restistance 2018
...The 15 songs on this album are an explosive mix of iron-willed and moving spoken word, experimental sound art, complex beats and powerful provocative and heart-warming piano melodies. In the final recordings completed in Oslo in January 2018, Rim actually managed to sing on some of the songs despite her weak vocal cords. Rim’s lyrics on the album range from being defiant and bold to being heartbreaking and endlessly deep. However, her courage, humanity and incredible positivity transpire from every word she pronounces...

Led by the charismatic singer and musician Kodjovi Kush, this band is all about the joyous sounds of West African music: highlife, afrobeat and ‘agbadjazz’ - a fusion of the traditional 6/8 agbadja music of the Ewe people from Togo, Ghana and Benin with jazz and reggae influences.

...Eventually Kodjovi created the Afrospot club night, named after Fela Kuti’s first nightclub in Lagos. It was frequented by some of London’s finest musicians, and soon the Afrospot All Stars were born: a collective of seasoned players from all over West Africa and the UK.  "Love In Africa" is their debut album.

Los Angelino pop band that marries styles from cumbia, bolero, tango, and rumba with rock, ska, soul and blues. Los Angeles-based La Santa Cecilia is a "new thing" Latin rock group that draws musical inspiration from across the globe, utilizing Pan-American rhythms from cumbia, bossa nova, rhumba, bolero, and tango and marrying them to rock, soul, R&B, ska, jazz, and even klezmer. All children of immigrants, they began their musical journey singing in backyards and alleys in L.A.

...During the past two years, these Los Angelinos have become road warriors, playing clubs, concert halls, and festival stages across the U.S., Latin America, Canada, and Europe. They've gotten married and had children. The maturity from these experiences is revealed panoramically on the produced by Sebastian Krys-produced Buenaventura. La Marisoul Hernández (vocals), José "Pepe" Carlos (accordion and requinto), Miguel "Oso" Ramírez (percussion), and Alex Bendana (bass) have become purveyors of "Pan-American Music," a sound that spreads across Latin genres, rock, pop, Caribbean styles, and R&B...
