Mayaka McCraven and Shabaka Hutchings, leader of Sons of Kemet, are two of the most exciting names in the new jazz scene, thanks to their futuristic vision of tradition.
Both are protagonists of the next day of the Cartagena Jazz Festival this Friday, November 8, where the public has an encounter with the vanguard of jazz.
The appointment is at the New Teatro Circo de Cartagena, at 9:30 p.m.
Tickets, 20 euros.
Makaya McCraven (Paris, 1983) is entrusted with the keys of the avant-garde of jazz, having pushed the boundaries of the genre and having broken them and then transformed into a key piece of the new generation with their acclaimed In The Moment albums, Highly Rare , Where We Come From and his recent double album Universal Beings.
Drummer, producer and "rhythm scientist", is one of the most exciting names in the new jazz scene, thanks to its futuristic vision of tradition.
It occupies one of the most fascinating pieces of the global scene of the new jazz, which in recent years has managed to rejuvenate and expand the audience of an achacous genre.
It represents the global culture of jazz in a time of rejuvenation of a sound, called "organic rhythm music".
Bebop, hip-hop, R&B run through the compositions of this musician born in Paris, raised in Massachusetts, where he studied jazz, and developed musically in Chicago.
His latest album, 'Universal Beings', is recorded in four different cities, New York, Los Angeles, London and Chicago, places where jazz flourishes with young and risky proposals.
After Makaya McCraven it will be the turn of Sons of Kemet.
Beyond established notions, British jazz lives moments of tangible hatching.
Permeable to the influence of other territories, from the regeneration of its African roots to club or electronic culture, there are many musicians and ideals who certify its permanent mutation.
And none like Shabaka Hutchings to take the lead in this fertile scene through projects like Sons Of Kemet.
His proposal is eclectic and open, distant from patterns and forms to use, and subscribes alliances with other profiles in order to make sense of a porous, identity and, above all, evolutionary expression.
Neither more nor less than the values ​​that jazz has represented during its long century of life.
Shabaka Hutchings comes to the Cartagena Jazz Festival leading the one that is undoubtedly his most relevant project, Sons of Kemet, although it is the main leg in addition to The Comet is Coming and Shabaka And The Ancestors.
This English quartet of interesting instrumental endowment (a saxophonist / clarinetist, a tuba performer and two percussionists) manages to create music based on rhythm, but at the same time with a surprising melodic inventiveness.
Sons of Kemet comes with his third album, first for the mythical Impulse! Record house, the same in whose catalog the names of Alice Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Oliver Nelson, McCoy Tyner, Michael Brecker, Danilo Pérez and John Coltrane shine.
Contemporary jazz is a box of surprises.
When it seems that everything is already invented and that there is no way to find a new black thread, projects like Sons of Kemet emerge that leave us with our mouths open.
