Rolling Outernational Non-West Non-English (Some Exceptions) 2014 Thread Formerly Known as World

x-post- wished I had seen the reunited National Wake (with maybe 1 original member or 2) performing in DC followed by a showing of that Punk in Africa movie. Saw mixed reviews of the film but it still sounds interesting

I was listening to some African music in 84. I can second

FRanco and Tabuley - Omona Wapi

Sonny Okosuns - Which Way Nigeria?: I love this LP so much, such a great sound

Bonga - Marika: folk and semba singer and songwriter from Angola
Ismael Lo and Mory Kante too

I was in my 20s when I liked that stuff. I hate when folks think only old folks burned out on popular stuff embrace African music with guitars

i'm in my 20s (barely) now! but there is something very refreshing about this kind of music idk.

I obviously agree, and that's not a dis of current programmed beat African stuff.

5 yr old article on international autotune - http://www.frieze.com/issue/article/pitch_perfect/

Just saw Kronos with Malian group Trio de Kali, and it was a great show (their first public show together). I liked Kronos better live than I did a year ago. They did 2 compositions themselves first-- a short impressive kinda noisy one and then a longer one that was dedicated to their friends in Ukraine. After the intermission they were joined by Trio de Kali- a great southern Mali female vocalist; a Malian balafon player, and a Malian bass ngoni player. They adapted Malian tradionals plus a Mahalia Jackson song. All very nice.

Posted this on the Kronos quartet thread

Yeah, and their recording of "White Man Sleeps No. 1" got me into modern South African composer Kevin Volans. The two Orchestre Poly-Rythmo reissues I've heard topped my Pazz & Jops; hopeful about the current line-up's latest album, first in 20 years, with guests incl. A.Kidjo and a couple of Franz Ferdinands:

Orchestre Poly-Rythmo - Cotonou Club

The greatest band in Benin's history, Orchestre Poly-Rythmo, is back. After a year of illustrious comeback live dates including New York's Lincoln Center, WOMAD festival and Barbican London, the band releases its first studio album in over twenty years, 'Cotonou Club', on Strut / Sons D'Ailleurs in March 2011.
Produced in Paris entirely on vintage analogue studio equipment, this new album refreshes Poly-Rythmo classics such as 'Gbeti Madjro' (featuring Angelique Kidjo) alongside a firing selection of brand new compositions. The album also features a special bonus track, an exclusive collaboration between Poly Rythmo and Franz Ferdinand's musicians.

saw some early names for summerstage in nyc; some of y'all are gonna be pretty hyped

also: did we cover jeri-jeri last year? just found that album, so good.

Not sure if we did. Just checked 'em out on Youtube. Love those handheld Senegalese drums

I repped for Jeri-Jeri but I think it got lost in the flow of time.

Dunno if this is the thread where we talk about archival releases but the new Haiti Direct comp on Strut is a very good time.

― a man with legs made of sausages - that's not real! (seandalai)

This is really wonderful music; while it's Caribbean pedigree is certain, it definitely sets itself apart from the rest of the Antilles.

....and this vocal sounds like it could have come from Can's Damo Suzuki...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4umnxnMmQ1Q

great track!

i've never seen this doc, but this clip makes me want to:

Been enjoying Mamani Keita's Kanou album, especially the track Fanatan (Spotify link). Sent me back through her back catalogue, which contains some really fantastic stuff.

New album sounds nice. Wiki reminds me where I sorta vaguely remember her:

was a backup singer for Salif Keïta.[2] She is best known in English speaking countries for her album with Marc Minelli, Electro Bamako.

And I like both that relaxing Haitian track video and the thumb piano one with Bela Fleck (even though I'm not a fan of his)

I like the way Bela plays on that - he really tries to give himself over to the style and not overplay

True

i think he gets a lot of knee jerk "lol npr" hate, but bela is a helluva musician

dude, LIJADU SISTERS live in NYC doing the music of william onyeabor

can't get too excited about the rest of that lineup but damn

Lijadu sisters live sounds like it would be great

http://www.npr.org/2014/03/16/288687538/first-listen-yasmine-hamdan-ya-nass

Hamdan is the groundbreaking co-founder of the duo Soapkills, which was billed as the first indie electropop band in Lebanon, and certainly one of the first in the Middle East. Then, performing as Y.A.S., she collaborated with Mirwais Ahmadzaï (of Madonna's Music fame). Now performing under her own name, Hamdan has perfected a very particular kind of disaffected cool, like a less effortful Lana Del Rey, as you can see from the video we made with Hamdan at this year's edition of globalFEST in New York. It's no wonder that Jim Jarmusch cast this super-charismatic singer in his film Only Lovers Left Alive, starring Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston, which is set to open in the U.S. next month.

She sings pop in Arabic

But:
Hamdan often proclaims her love for iconic Arab singers of the 1920s through the '60s, and her track "La Mouch" is a smart, dark reworking of "Laa Mech Ana Elli Abki," a classic tango by the Egyptian legend Mohammed Abdel Wahab.

Lucky for me-- more live Malian music coming to town

Imharhan Timbuktu (the guys who support the women performers in Tartit, have their own group) for only $5 at Bossa in DC tomorrow Wed. the 19th; and Tinariwen Sat. the 22nd. Current albums by both groups are growing on me, after I was initially underwhelmed by both (yea, yea yea desert nomad guitar...)

Speaking of Lebanon, this is a really good rock pop etc. comp from a few years ago

http://norient.com/files/2011/08/golden-beirut-xl-0.jpg

It was compiled by Thomas Burkhalter of norient, a fortifying musical resource, re Middle East and elsewhere :http://norient.com/blog/goldenbeirut/ This is released by norient and German label Outhere. I got it from Forced Exposure; it's also been on Amazon and iTunes.
The vibe made me think of Wanna Buy A Bridge? There's an expansiveness, wheeling out, but watchful as hell too, mindful of all the furor and collapse, implosion and explosion of the recent past.

I should check that out sometime. Plus all the youtube links just posted on the new Afrobeats 2014 thread.

http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/artsdesk/music/2014/03/19/imarhan-timbuktu-and-tinariwen-talk-malian-desert-music-and-western-pop/

Was discussing with someone how, except for Tinariwen (who have guest rockers on their albums), most of these Malian guitar bands are kinda treated like avante-garde jazz---like its nice you like that weird stuff but its not mainstream in any fashion--but we both think its more accessible than that (not to dis avante-garde jazz).

Plus while old-school critics like Christgau and Pareles give it love, it seems to get less attention from Pitchfork

Pitchfork doesn't seem to cover anything African now that Tangari doesn't write for them regularly. Which is fine, I mostly respect that their genre coverage seems to be writer driven.

Desert Blues! https://play.spotify.com/user/glennpmcdonald/playlist/11Hb0CYKlvGFUA8yvDEJer

curm that seems as much like a marketing issue as anything, probably you need malian guitar bands on tour with american/british acts, some name-dropping by the right cool gatekeepers, spots backing up american/british artists on their records, etc.

Yea, that seems to be working for Tinariwen a bit-- Red Hot Chili P Josh on latest album, recording out in Joshua tree, rebel/refugees from war--

They have their own ilx thread too

http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-26654516

Cool. I need to check out some of the found vinyl that guy got reissed:

from album Pax Nicholas and the Nettey Family by artist Pax Nicholas, Daptone Records 2009

3. "Gbe Keke Wo Taoo" from album Psycho African Beat by artist Psychedelic Aliens, Academy LPs 2010

Noura Mint Seymali's drummer emailed me that he is using my interview with her as part of the presentation to get her a visa to again come tour the US this summer. She has been here before, but I guess each time someone coming to work here must prove why they should be allowed to visit and tour.

some name-dropping by the right cool gatekeepers

When Tabu Ley Rocheraeu passed on, New York Magazine pop critic Jody Rosen tweeted about it, but he never seems to write about either African club beat music or the kind of African guitar music we cover here. Sasha Frere-Jones and Ann Powers also never do. I think its too bad Pitchfork doesn't seem to have J. Tangari writing up any kinds of African sounds these days, because I think even token coverage there could encourage a little of their huge readership to open their ears to African sounds (kinda the way Christgau did in part for me in the Voice ).

I listened to/watched a handful of the many videos on the Afrobeats 2014 thread. But not closely enough to comment over there. Am liking Nigerian Davido's autotuned vocals. He's gonna be in Maryland this coming weekend.

I also listened to some of Habib Koite's new one. I think he has a new band on it. Interesting mix of upbeat and quiet acoustic tunes.

Ibibio Sound Machine - Let's Dance (Yak Inek Unek)

Thanks, will give 'em a listen . Just googled their bio from Soundways

A unique sound born out of the mixed up nature of London today, Ibibio Sound Machine was started by producers Max Grunhard, Leon Brichard and Benji Bouton. After first tracking all the bass and drum tracks they joined up with Ghanaian guitar legend Alfred 'Kari' Bannerman (from fellow Soundway signing Konkoma), before adding Brazilian Anselmo Netto on percussion and synth/horn men Tony Hayden & Scott Baylis to Eno Williams' lyrics. A dose of electronica with a forward-looking, refreshingly un-retro approach that's influenced by London as much as by West Africa,

Still need to get to that plus more afrobeats youtubes and another listen to Habib Koite's newest one

A couple of Forced Exposure's (many) National Record Store Day special editions on vinly. I still don't have a working turntable, but would like to get these prev. unknown-to-me releases in other formats; Sublime Frequencies outernational comps are always worth checking:

DESCRIPTION
Omar Souleyman: Jazeera Nights: Folk and Pop Sounds of Syria

RSD 2014 release. First time on vinyl. Brand-new limited edition LP version in a heavy tip-on jacket with liner-notes by compiler Mark Gergis. Sublime Frequencies is honored to present Omar Souleyman's third Western collection of tracks. This retrospective features live recordings spanning 15 years of Omar's tireless repertoire, and is rife with frenzied Syrian Dabke (a regional folkloric dance and party music), Iraqi Choubi and a host of Arabic, Kurdish and Turkish styles, among others -- an amalgamation that exemplifies the musical essence of Northeastern Syria. Culled from cassettes recorded between 1995 and 2009, this collection offers a further rare glimpse into Syrian street-level Dabke folk-pop -- a phenomena seldom heard in the West, not previously deemed serious enough for export by the Syrians and rarely, if ever, included on the import agenda of worldwide academic musical committees. Over the years, Souleyman's popularity has risen steadily and the group tirelessly performs concerts throughout Syria and has accepted invitations to perform abroad in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Lebanon. In 2006, Sublime Frequencies partnered with Omar to release Highway to Hassake, the first compilation of his works to be issued in the West. The success of this release and the video for the song "Leh Jani" helped see Souleyman and his group invited for their first Western tour in 2009 alongside label-mates Group Doueh from the Western Sahara. This successful tour quickly elevated Souleyman to the status of an international legend -- and deservedly so. The original CD release of this album coincided with the beginning of Omar's 2010 international tour.

VA: Pop Yeh Yeh - Psychedelic Rock from Singapore and Malaysia 1964-1970: Vol. 1 2LP
SUBLIME FREQUENCIES (United States) / SF 079LP
release date: 4/19/2014

DESCRIPTION
2014 RSD release. Until now, for some unknown reason, the psychedelic rock movement in Singapore and Malaysia, aka Pop Yeh Yeh, has never been given the worldwide attention it deserves. This compilation is the first of its kind to focus solely on the Malay rock groups of this region. The Pop Yeh Yeh era, which took place roughly between the years of 1964 to 1970, coincided with the rapid modernization happening at the time in Singapore and Malaysia. Sublime Frequencies has already released many incredible compilations from neighboring Indonesia, so it's about time that the Malaysian groups got some attention! Pop Yeh Yeh artists instinctively cross-pollinated electric sounds of the West with Malay melodies, and added their own local poetic voice to the lyrics they wrote -- sung in Malay (and sometimes Bawean). The Pop Yeh Yeh musicians started out playing in styles inspired by Western groups like the Beatles and Cliff Richard, but they eventually succeeded in creating a sound all their own -- a sound that is not only accessible to the Western ear, but also retains an undeniable Malay personality. Nearly eight years in the making, this compilation was exhaustively researched and compiled by Carl Hamm and features 26 classic tracks of the very best bands and singers from Singapore and Malaysia's Pop Yeh Yeh era, including M. Osman, Orkes Nirwana, Adnan Othman, A. Halim, Roziah Latiff, and the Jayhawkers, J. Sham, Hasnah Haron, Zaleha Hamid, and many more. This 2LP deluxe edition comes in a gorgeous heavy-duty gatefold jacket with a full-size 12-page full-color booklet packed with insanely extensive liner-notes including band/artist bios, an overview of the era, translated lyrics, and plenty of rare photos taken from vintage magazines, album covers, and the artists' own personal collections.

- 2LP heavy gatefold jacket with gorgeous and informative full-size 12-page full-color booklet.
- Compiled & researched over an 8-year period by Carl Hamm.
- Featured in Spin Magazine's list of Best Box Sets and Expanded Editions of 2013!
- "The overall sound is light and breezy, as was the production of that time, ideal for transistor radios and a far cry from the bass-heavy sounds of today. Let me again stress that the magnificent booklets are full of great detail about the artists, history of the scene, wider economic context, record cover art, and photographs of the groups. They could easily form the basis of a lovely book." --PopMatters (7/10)

Didn't Sublime F's Gergis have a falling out with Souleyman after he signed with a bigger label and the Four Tet guy signed on to produce? So now they want to honor Souleyman with a limited release record collector geek vinyl issuance.

MG: I have heard Omar’s new record, and it’s not so compelling to me. Though some of the performances are decent, it’s missing a lot of the urgency and edge, in my opinion. I found this to be true of many of Omar’s previous studio recordings in Syria as well. He’s made dozens of studio albums back home, and in my opinion, with a few exceptions, he is best outside of the studio. It boils down to aesthetics and the choices made by the producer or management in the end. I haven’t managed or produced Omar and his group since 2011, and I’m not a spokesperson for his new direction.

It's also available on CD and download, the former incl. translations of lyrics. MG compiled it from cassettes and wrote the notes. Cool cover:
