Tango Si!
Latin-American
Format:
CD
Der Tango geht in die musikalischen Extreme: von extrem akzentuiert, auch aggressiv und dissonant bis zu extrem melancholisch und gefühlvoll. Er bietet besondere musikalische Freiheiten: Die Melodien müssen rhythmisch verändert und mit eigenen Ideen und Phrasierungen erweitert werden.
2006 gründeten die Geigerin Christiane Holzenbecher und die Pianistin Sarah Umiger das Ensemble Tango Sí! mit Karin Eckstein am Bandoneon und Israel Vázquez an der Gitarre. Im Unterschied zu vielen anderen Gruppen, die unter Tango nur Piazzolla verstehen, beschäftigt sich das Ensemble intensiv mit der traditionellen Tango-Stilistik.
Ihr Debüt-Album ¡PRÉPARENSE! ist eine unkonventionelle Mischung von eigenen Arrangements, traditionellen Tangos sowie Tango Nuevo und nimmt die Zuhörer auf eine abwechslungsreiche Reise in die Welt des argentinischen Tangos mit.
Somit schaffen die Musiker, die große Bandbreite des Tangos aufzuzeigen: von klassischen argentinischen Tangos in Originalarrangements (Prepárense, A Don Agustín Bardi, Payadora, Un Placer) bis klassische argentinische Tangos in eigenen, neuen Arrangements, geprägt von erweiterter Harmonik, mehrstimmigen, auch dissonanten Ansätzen und der Behandlung des Kontrabasses als Melodieinstrument (Nocturna, Romance de Barrio), über neue Wege des Tangos und unbekanntere Stücke Piazzollas (Revirado, Concierto para Quinteto, Aire de la Zamba Niña).

Bahur Ghazi's Palmyra
World
Format:
CD
Musical journeys between the Orient and the Alps are now part of the basic vocabulary of the globalized world. However, the Syrian composer and oud player Bahur Ghazi spans a two-way bridge: from his new home, he combines the cosmopolitan creativity of the Swiss jazz scene with the magic of an oasis city, and he spans a fascinating arc from ancient pictures to the bitter present of Syria.
Palmyra - the very sound of this word conjures up fabulous images: the dazzling oasis and caravan city between Damascus and the Euphrates River has been on the world stage of history throughout ancient times. It developed a unique culture as the hub of the Greco-Roman and Persian sphere of influence, had its own language and local deities, experienced early Christianity and Islamic conquest, was destroyed several times and rose again and again like Phoenix from the ashes. After the desert winds swept over the ruins of the temple for 1,000 years, Palmyra's cycle of ascension and descent was repeated in modern times: the site was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980 and since 2015 the Islamic city has had it twice removed, as it has caused deep wounds with explosions.
For the musician Bahur Ghazi, Palmyra is such an immense source of inspiration that he has chosen the city as the namesake for his quintet. He sees the legendary place as the refuge of a thousand-year heritage, as a symbol for an exciting network of cultures and as a symbol of dignity and hope for Syria, that has been destroyed by civil war and the IS. Before the war, Ghazi was one of the leading musical creative minds of his homeland: he discovered his skills on the Arabian lute through the Iraqi oud luminary Naseer Shamma and worked as a teacher at the renowned Cairo institution Bait al Oud Arabi (Arabic according house) headed by Shamma.
His Swiss exile has given Bahur Ghazi the opportunity to continue to practice his art without the daily threat of the brutality of the war breathing down his neck. He now works in a broad range as a jazz musician, but also as a writer for classical orchestras and for theater. The current location gives him a very special, new look at Syria: surrounded by leading Swiss jazz musicians on accordion (Patricia Draeger), piano (Christoph Baumann), upright bass (Luca Sisera) and drums (Dario Sisera), he draws from a distance to his homeland sprawling, colorful tableaus. In them, the Arabian heritage unfolds as a kaleidoscope from Andalusia across the Mediterranean to the desert, and at the same time the musicians combine this legacy of the Arabic maqam scales with the improvisational musical language of Europe.
The introductory piece "Bidaya" balances between the oriental oud intro, the swaying accordion of Draeger and a Cuban-inspired piano interlude by Baumann. Abruptly, the listeners find themselves in the floating, mysterious atmosphere of the "Septimia Dream", which seems to escort one into the ancient past of Palmyra. This then appears magnificently and dramatically in the long title track, as if in a vision the old columns rise from the shimmering desert air. But this is just the beginning of the journey of Bahur Ghazi and his four colleagues, it holds many other stations ready: "The Getaway" is a rhythmically complex hunt over a stumbling, urgent ostinato, that reminds one of a Rabih Abou-Khalil, but also increasingly takes on a rock drive.
Ghazi's dedication to the Qasioun, the local mountain of Damascus, is dressed as a melancholy and equally virtuoso oud song, as a lament to the lost grandeur of a now ruined city. In the presumptuous “Grünfink”, a trumpet with arabesque quarter-tones suddenly takes the command. And in the epic "Salvation Voyage", the combination of the Orient and the Occident succeeds in the most organic form: Bahur Ghazi leaves long stretches of the design to a bass with a singing intro and the accordion, with an almost Balkan melancholy.
With "Bidaya", Bahur Ghazi and his Swiss quartet, combine fabulous antiquity and painful modern times to form impressive soundscapes - always with a highly up-to-date reference that goes far beyond the traditional clichés of 1001 Arabian Nights.

Aline Frazao
Africa
Format:
CD
If you take a closer look at the Portuguese music scene of 2018, it is precisely artists from the former African colonies who have been enormously enriching the country's musical and poetic spectrum for some years now. Angolan Aline Frazão is one of them. Mythical images of the rain, sometimes dance-like, sometimes ballad-like memories of Angola's landscapes, a chanson that mutates into a bossa, a transatlantic cello and images of nature made with Cape Verdean strings: these are just some of the ingredients for her forth work "Dentro Da Chuva", on which the singer / Songwriter draws wonderfully dazzling soundtracks on the Atlantic Ocean.
Frazão grew up in Angolas capital Luanda. At the age of 18 she came to Lisbon. She was already writing songs at an early age, and in these first compositions she was influenced by a wide spectrum of styles; Fado belonged to this just the same as Bossa Nova, Jazz the same as the music of Cape Verde. She didn’t lose touch with her Angolan homeland while in Portugal, on her debut album “Clave Bantu” (2011) she tells of the interactions between Africa, Brazil and Cuba.
After that she decided to join in an experimental phase. On her 2016 released CD “Insular”, also with Jazzhaus Records, she recorded in the seclusion of the Scottish Hebrides with the English producer Gilles Perring a song-cycle, which focused on a melancholic indie rock sound. With a noise guitar, verses of rap, to influences from Portuguese Nobel laureate José Saramago, with themes ranging from ocean romance to daily politics, Aline Frazão created her own island world. On her cliffs she shattered any clichés of Portuguese music, and in so doing, became pleasantly unpredictable.
For her forth work, the now 30 year-old Angolan woman navigates once again in the waters of her roots. Her alternative experiments have disappeared, rather prevailing on “Dentro Da Chuva” (Inside the Rain) is an unrestricted flowing, minimalist acoustic, and pure Lusitanian melodies. It’s as if she’s following up on the final song of “Insular”, with a lighthearted dance with lyrics in the Bantu language Kimbundu saying: Look hear and listen to me, I’m back from the stormy cool of Scotland into the warmer climes of the ocean! Aline Frazão’s new work celebrates the great weaving of the Portuguese-speaking cultures, that spans three continents and an island kingdom between them.
The eleven acoustic gems were recorded in Rio, Brazil. On the sound mixer was none other than Gabriel Muzak, one of the most exciting creators between bossa, rock and funk. We set sail from Rio and arrive in the Afro-Brazilian metropolis Salvador da Bahia, across to Angola, to Cabo Verde and to Portugal. A relaxed cruise on Aline's small boat of sounds, 500 years after Magellan's first circumnavigation of the world, a breeze of sounds, airy-light, but always with a poetic draft. Central to her are the fruity vocals and the acoustic guitar of the singer / songwriter, around which she weaves weightlessly colors of a guest guitar, a duet voice, a cello, from time to time she gives us with drums and Kalimba, sprinkles of dances, which the drummer Zero Telles shakes from his hands.
The anchor is being thrown on the Cape Verde archipelago, where the composer Danilo Lopes da Silva delivers a wonderful ballad about nature’s upheaval with his Angolan “sister” in “Peit Ta Segura” - Frazão sings this single in the local language of Criolu, in an Homage to her Cape Verdean grandfather. From Bahia we find a young representative of the Mùsica Popular Brasileira in Luedji Luna: In their duet “Kapiapia” the two women pour into their sound the mythical pictures of the Angolan poet Ruy Duarte de Carvalho; images of an old man, half human, half Deity, who lives in the midst of the rains. And then, quite surprisingly, Frazão’s adaptation of the Gainsbourg classic “Ces Petits Riens”, when the original already has a breath of Caribbean, she has produced her version to be a sensual sad Bossa Nova.
Angolan cheerfulness exudes in “Sumaúma”, a dedication to all the women who have supported the country’s struggle for independence. With “Manifesto” it becomes even more rhythmic, physical, with the colors of the thumb piano and a weave of percussion. Along with the guitarist João Pires, from Cabo Verde, she celebrates her body as a map of the seas, roaming a criss-cross from Rio to Zanzibar, from Addis Ababa to Luanda. Finally on the beaches of Cabo Ledo she meets the Brazilian cello star, Jaques Morelenbaum, and they paint a transatlantic picture of the melancholy of an unfortunate summer.
"Dentro Da Chuva" combines myths and metaphors from the sea, strong images of nature between water and sky, with the modern lifestyle of a young Afro-Portuguese woman - implemented with frugal instruments, but with the wide horizon of poetic visions.

Mangue Sylla & The All-Star Drummers of Guinea
World
Format:
Binaural+
Dynamic percussionist Mangue Sylla returns to his West African roots, first visited on his 2007 debut recording Kon Koura. The Guinea native’s traditional drumming style showcases his profound mastery of the country’s distinctive percussive instruments: the sangban, doundoun, and djembe. Dunnun Kan is rich with the great strides made by Sylla in the eight years since releasing Kon Koura; his playing is more masterful and electrifying than ever before, yet he still delivers the familiar history and rich stories of his native Guinea, drumming like an artful archivist.
Here, on Dunnun Kan, Sylla and his ensemble play so seamlessly that they become instruments themselves, played by something greater than their obvious musical mastery, almost otherworldly. You can hear the long history of Guinea’s percussion masters who’ve played these instruments for decades—even centuries—before Sylla (and presumably they’ll be played long after Sylla as well). Every beat is a journey of timeless sound that began long ago in Guinea, and continues throughout every track on Dunnun Kan, captured in time, like a photograph taken 100 years ago. Still, you need not be versed in African history, the native Guinea drumming styles or the instruments that make this music so unique for Dunnun Kan to move you.
At a time when the world is full of distractions, Mangue Sylla offers listeners a necessary escape through the rhythmic focus of Dunnun Kan—it’s a tempo respite from the busy world around us and an invitation to something more, something bigger than our everyday lives. Like a pulsing reminder that the present moment is all we really have, it weaves us around and through the human heart and spirit and into that space that’s both here and now and everywhere else all at once. It’s more than just a drumbeat, it’s the rhythm of life.
Part of the Chesky Binaural + Series, all recorded with a single microphone, the group appears right before you with this spacious, lush and multi-dimensional recording. Now headphone users will hear the same three-dimensional sound and imaging as audiophiles have for the past 25 years with Chesky Recordings. Also these new Binaural+ Series albums capture even more spatial realism for the home audiophile market, bringing you one step closer to the actual event. You will hear some of the most natural and pure music ever recorded.

Entre Cada Palabra
€19.99*
Marta Gomez
Latin-American
Format:
CD
The voice of the singer, guitarist and songwriter Marta Gómez, who not only has a great reputation in her native Colombia as a musician, but also as the founder of the "Aqua Dulce" Foundation, which takes care of Colombian street children, has a delightfully straightforward and lively voice . David and Norman Chesky have set themselves the task of making them known beyond Latin America and invited them to a recording session in New York. Accompanied by her band, which also includes guitarist and arranger Julio Santillán, who was instrumental in the production of her album Entre Cada Palabra, Marta Gómez put herself at the service of a wide variety of Latin American sounds and rhythms at Saint Peters Church in Chelsea.
However, those who expect furious dances, a never-ending carnival of joie de vivre and lightness will be more disappointed than an audience eager for political statements. Marta Gómez is a song poet who tells stories of ordinary people's lives ("Dona Luisa", "Quien se acordará"), of a black boy who wishes he were white ("Negrito"), and of the virtues of silence , which is behind every word we say ("Entre Cada Palabra"). The serenity that radiates from her art of interpretation really works wonders. Those who devote themselves entirely to their songs, undisturbed by disturbing noises, experience facets of lived life that are not hidden behind platitudes and sensations.
The spectrum of rhythms, which Marta Gómez fans out with simple brilliance, ranges from Colombian cumbia and bambuco to flamenco and son to candombe from Uruguay and Argentine zamba. One is ensnared by her voice, carried away by the looseness of the band and wishes, like the little fish in "Pececito de agua", to be able to entrust his secrets to a great river that carries them into the world across all spatial boundaries.
Anyone who then discovers a well-known song in all the unexpected songs, such as the Mexican evergreen "Cielito Lindo", will be delighted to find that the delicate, extremely fragile-looking version by Marta Gómez is more carefree and joie de vivre than most of the previous ones interpretations.

Tammorra
World
Format:
CD
The group Tammorra was formed in 1992 in Palermo, Sicily. Her artistic starting point is the culture and folklore of southern Italy, especially Sicily. A surprising, vibrant music show quickly brought the ensemble international success. In January 2000 they received the only prize for European folk music awarded in Germany, the 'Eisernen Eversteiner'; of the Plauen Folk Autumn.
Over the years, the musicians have constantly refined the group's sound, incorporating new ideas and foreign influences: jazz and pop elements, Latin sprinkles, rap, trip-hop - you name it. With a lot of skill and sensitivity, but also with well-founded musical knowledge and ability, Tammorra develops a contemporary, original and convincing synthesis: New Mediterranean folk music without cultural blinders.
In the furious rhythm of Tammurriata and Tarantellaent, the music takes the listener to a festival full of Mediterranean joie de vivre. But that's not all: With sophisticated arrangements, polyphonic choral settings, interlocking vocal and instrumental lines and surprising changes in rhythm, the group is constantly bringing new, small sensations to the attention of the audience. The wealth of ideas of the Sicilians seems inexhaustible.
