داليا [Dalia]: اللي يمشي عادي [Elly Yemshy 3ady] (2021)
I have so much nostagia for Egypt. The ornamentation in their music has a warmth that I haven’t heard anywhere else.
Fabrice Koffy, Marika Galea, Michael Go: Le Soir
From Montréal Sound Resistance: Chapitre I (2021) builds from French spoken word to trio music, to an improvised duo with a lovely African triplet feel. The bilingual album of poetry and spoken word is made in Montreal and dedicated to the memory of George Floyd.
From O Rei Do Carimbó (1983). Yormidable tongue-twister from a Brazillian traditional dance form. I learned that this is the same genre as No Meio do Pitiú from #002.
From ARENA (2021). Beatboxer’s dream and head banger.
Squarepusher x Z-MACHINES: Music For Robots (2014)
Trippy mix of atonal harmonies, jazz solos over drum-n-bass, glitchy video-game music. Sounds like something going wrong, with great precision.
Glitchy, hip-hop jazz had my head boppin’ for twenty-five minutes.
Francis Bebey: Akwaaba — Music For Sanza (1985)
Mbira and raw vocals are set to funky pentatonic bass grooves accompanied by other African percussion. You will sway from side to side.
Joyce Moreno: Revendo Amigos (1994)
Jazz harmonies and wordless melodies.
Joyce Moreno: Passarinho Urbano (1976)
Chock-full of sambas in stereo. Led me to Revendo Amigos (1994), with the kind of jazz harmonies and wordless melodies that I enjoy.
