¡Gózalo! Bugalú Tropical Vol.1, Vol.2, Vol.3 & Vol.4 (Vampisoul, 2007, 2009 & 2011)

On reste chez Vampisoul et en Amérique du Sud mais cette fois-ci avec le Pérou qui nous avait caché toute sa puissance musicale. Let's Boogaloo!

Big Up Vampisoul.

"During the 1930s, dance bands in Peru were heavily influenced by their Cuban counterparts. The same thing happened in other places such as Dominican Republic, Panama, Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Puerto Rico and the rest of the Caribbean. Those were the days of the American big bands that came about during and after the Second World War.
It wasn’t until the 50s, however, that Tropical, as music from the Caribbean was known, became a complete socio-cultural phenomenon in Peru. An entire legion of amazing musicians erupted: singers and bands who delighted their audiences playing mambos, guarachas, merengues and boleros. Many of the bands recorded for local record labels such as El Virrey, Sono Radio and MAG. During the 50s, Peruvian bands took on guaracha and other Cuban rhythms, incorporating jazz, fox trot, twist and rock & roll influences. Something similar took place in the 60s: musicians incorporated jazz sounds instead of complying with New York’s strict guidelines. According to Alfredo Linares, “the fact that we sounded different from New York was basically because of the jazz influence we stamped into our sound… It was a musical concept we had a grasp on that ended up being beneficial to defining our style.”
Before boogaloo came onto the scene and the generation’s takeover was solidified, the type of Latin music being heard in New York during the early 60s consisted of mambo, pachanga and cha cha cha – and it was the typical Cuban orchestra or brass band that monopolized audiences. Nonetheless, despite of the success of Cuban music and the prestige that some musicians gained, Puerto Rican and Cuban communities continued to be looked upon with uncertainty by the English-speaking population. In New York, the lack of housing forced recent arrivals from Puerto Rico to move to the Bronx, where little by little a new community was formed. Music calmed moods and broke down racial barriers amidst a time of social agitation. Blacks and Latinos not only shared common frustrations, but musical preferences as well. These were times of change.
Without leaving their Latin-influenced side behind, these youths assimilated soul and rhythm & blues. They discovered the Supremes, Joe Tex, The Temptations, James Brown, Wilson Pickett, Marvin Gaye and other Motown stars. A continuous crossing of cultures began, creating an addictive mix of striking, revolutionary sounds. Compelled to create a new rhythm that would identify itself with el barrio, they managed to match the success reached by genres that dominated the market thanks to a hybrid style that would rule the dance floors into the late 70s. Boogaloo, along with its siblings shing-a-ling and Afroloo, had been born." Munster Records / Vampisoul

Des Hits Soul, Funk à la sauce Jamaicaine. Furieusement FunkyGroove.

Un régal / delightful!

"The influence of black American music on the development of Jamaican music over the past fifty years has been nothing short of profound, but while the significance of fifties R&B and sixties and seventies soul has been regularly highlighted, the the impact of funk was largely overlooked until the release of this long over-due collection

Featuring some of the funkiest sounds laid down in Kinston during the late sixties and early seventies, the compilation highlights a mixture of original and cover versions by some of the reggaes greatest musical talents.

Among those gettin it on down on this celebration of Jamaican funk are such luminaries as Bob Marley, Lee Perry, Toots & the Maytals and Ken Boothe a varied cast that reflects the far-reaching influence of hard-hitting American R&B on the islands music industry." Trojan Records

Afro Latin Vintage Orchestra ‎– Ayodegi (Underdog Records, 2010)

Tony Allen Legacy!

La France a le Groove et la Sono Mondiale dans ses gènes. Big Up.

"Autant prévenir tout de suite : il va falloir pousser les meubles. Capable d'ensoleiller les soirées les plus sombres, le groupe français Afro Latin Vintage Orchestra dispense avec une rare ferveur les rythmes les plus soutenus. Opérant une nouvelle fois une fusion entre l'afro-beat, le jazz-funk, le hip-hop et le soul-jazz, « Ayodegi » ravira les mélomanes en quête de groove roboratifs. Fondé en 2007 par le multi-percussionniste Masta Conga et composé de différents artistes issus de la scène underground parisienne, les dix musiciens (deux trompettistes, deux saxophonistes, deux percusionnistes, un clavier, une guitare, une basse et une batterie) ne connaissent aucune baisse de régime. Même les rares titres chantés restent dans le ton. Peu de messages donc ici, juste le projet de marteler les cadences. Et de rappeler que la meilleure façon de danser, c'est de mettre un pied devant l'autre. Et de recommencer." Les Echos

Tony Allen nous a quitté hier. L'occasion de lui rendre hommage avec cette compile de ses 2 premiers albums sortis sous son nom, en 1975 et 1977. Ci dessous, un lien vers un bel article du Point :

Nigeria : Tony Allen, de l'Afrobeat à la source vive du jazz

Il est celui dont Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, dit Fela Kuti, avait dit : " Sans Tony Allen, il n'y aurait pas d'afrobeat. " Hommage, en justice et en justesse, rendu par celui qui est pourtant considéré comme le père de ce style musical.

RIP Tony, et longue vie à l'Afrobeat. Bless.
