Hey friends !!!!

Several days ago it did not come here!

I came today to let a gift (it’s Samim birthday!) from Monopolar and mine.

This is a video of monopolar playing the song “Loco” by Samim & Miguel Toro live on Saturday August 15 in Mexico City.

Filmed by me! I hope you like it!

Pau, a vocalist/producer from Mexico City whose amigos comprise a music/visual arts collective, has been having a remix contest for the original, which is a pretty straightforward disco track about how buzzards are gonna outlive us all because they like to kill and you know, have feathery backs and shit.

Radioclit did a Funana mix. Most people dont even know where Cape Verde is and now there music is poppin up. Why? Hm I guess Radioclit listened to some Buraka Som Sistema and checked the neighboring countries for something to redo theirselfes. What they did on their “Fu (Na Na Na) Mix” is actually the same Buraka Som Sistema did to Angolas Kuduro. You take the original music and mix it with fitting, high tech western music till it passes the bouncer. Since Lissabons Kuduro scene is made up of as many Cape Verdians as Angolans (the countrys are connected since they shared a colonial occupant), I guess they´d go bananas over some pimped out Funana too. The only western guys who did that before is Schlachthof Bronx from Munich far as I know. Read more at schakkerhart.com

This is the video of the song a very good friend of mine called GIORGIOLIVE.

The song is entitled “Bossa 0″ and recorded with a musician of Brazil called Paulo Sergio.

Giorgiolive is a dj / producer  of Drumm & Bass, and in almost all productions made blends Bossa Nova … sounds very nice!

I’m Argentine and I am no great lover of tango, but only recently (listening to the advice of a friend) started to listen to Astor Piazzolla, who was the person who modernized the Tango.

I leave “Adios Nonino”, Live at the 1984 Montreal International Jazz Festival, a wonderful piece!

According to his son, Daniel Piazzolla, music composing offset (Astor Piazzolla) On the same day that his father died (or the grandfather of Daniel), and we consider the following:

“Dad asked us to leave it alone for a few hours. We got into the kitchen. First there was a dead silence. Soon, we heard that he played the bandoneon. It was a melody very sad, terribly sad. Adiós Nonino was composing.”

Listen string arrangements … the ringtones … every piece is memorable! think that was the first person to incorporate an electric guitar in the Tango.

Enjoy it ! (like me…)

Finally finished my new Mash UP! This time take the four sections of crashroots: Latincontra, Babalao, Whorehousebeats and Orientrising. All converted into a single MASH UP! The mix of the Tracks “Colombiana” by Monopolar and “Snow” by Florian Andres is not very smooth, sorry about that! I like leaving little “mistakes” in the mix as it makes it more true to a club mix experience.

Dan Lloyd, Brownell Professor of Philosophy at Trinity College, is using fMRI data from scans of the brain to synthesize “music”, and has found that different brains make very different melodies. (via syntopia)

I don’t have any word for describe this video, it´s really AMAIZING ! The guy in the video says: “Hi ! My name is Yancarlos Sanches and now I’m going to play a song titled “Walking with my friend”, with my Kalimba”

Hours ago I’m looking for this documentary to share with you, but I find it incomplete. Until recently … on this link you can see the WHOLE film! (Click on image to go to link)

I love funk music. This is the real groove!

I love this duet of Break Beat from Japan ! This time they made a mash up between them and BEASTIE BOYS! Songs: Wanamo (Hifana) vs. Intergalactic (Beastie Boys). Enjoy it … like me ! =)

One of the first electric organ in history.

I’m a BIG BIG BIG fan of  Frank Zappa. Browsing on YouTube, specifically this version of Stairway To Heaven, I found! The first time I heard this version was because a friend of my mother gave me a CD compilation of Frank Zappa … the best gift of my life! My two favorite bands together on one song!

I left two very good videos of the same song.

The first is Zack Kim, a Japanese guitarist and the second is Vadrucci Andrea, an Italian drummer.

We danced to Nigeria, Babalao style and came back with this 126bpm kuduro house killer! This is how we rock in Lagos and Berlin! Sample used: Fred Fisher - Asa-sa (79).

8 year old kids playing microtonal music on their invented instruments? This is what this blog’s all about.Composer/musician Paul “Ubertar” Rubenstein teaches New York kids how to build one-string guitars, and play in African and Indonesian-inspired scales. Then they jam. Not just a novelty, this is some seriously good, unique unclassifiable music, whose contents are only hinted at by their song titles. Great sample source for Babalao tracks!

Here is a great track from “Rough Guide to the Music of the Sahara (2005)”. The compilation contains a handful of other southern Moroccan guitar groups like the Sublime Frequency superstars, as well as some great stuff from neighboring Mauritania and the rest of the Sahrawi territory region. These compilations are certainly very rough places to start, but that’s all you can really ask for when they are titled as such. Great sample source for Babalao tracks! (via davequam.blogspot.com)

There is no drummer or percussionist in the world (I’m one of them) who does not believe this man is incredible. The biggest … TITO PUENTE!

Rare, non-commercial 1965 clip of Tito Puente playing “El Cumbanchero” by Rafael Hernandez, one of the most prolific and important Puerto Rican composers of the century. This is from a tribute show to Hernandez that El Banco Popular sponsored in 1965.

With the opening of the section BABALAU, I think it`s a good idea leave this post about on one of the biggest African music … Mr. Fela Kuti!

Frankly, I always dreamed of playing in his group. His music is HYPNOTIC !!!!

If we are going to talk about Brazilian music can not fail to tell about CIDADE NEGRA. This is a band of reggae music.

This song is called GIRASSOL in live version for MTV Unplugged… this is a beautiful song!

Enjoy it !

This is an unreleased track from a band I met in Paris a while ago named GLOBAL GNAWA. I strongly encourage you guys to follow and support this fantastic project: myspace.com/globalgnawa/. Mashup coming soon!
