Rastafari is a sweet voice, which denounces reggae rhythm of corrupt African politicians.
Alpha Blondy, son of the Jula tribe and Seydou Kone real name, is an artist with a strong conscience, to the point that has come to sing in Hebrew and Arab audiences in Arabic to Jewish audiences.
The Skatalites. These Jamaicans will have the honor of having given way to ska.
The Soviets had launched a few years before the first satellite into space and then combining it with the music they made, the name came from.
His first album, Ska authentic, recorded at the legendary Studio One in Kingston, Jamaica since 1964 had become independent from Britain two years earlier.
So take almost half a century in business, although not continuously, because the Skatalites have been dissolved and re-assembled.
The first time was tested in May 1964 at the Odeon Cinema Theatre, Street Constant Spring Road, Kingston.
They all knew before, the recording studios.
There were Tommy McCook and Roland Alphonso (tenor sax), Don Drummond (trombone), Johnny Moore (trumpet), Lester Sterling (alto sax), Lloyd Knibb (drums), Lloyd Brevett (bass), Jah Jerry Haynes (guitar) and Jackie Mitoo (piano and organ).
An Er some of the best session musicians: those who played in most recordings of Jamaican singers.
They started with ska: traditional Jamaican rhythms adapted to the rhythmn blues with a horn section that stressed the weak beat of the bar.
In three months of summer had become a reference group.
Of course the next year it had spread by personal problems and financial difficulties.
Since then, the Jamaicans have followed in the breach.
With more than twenty discs.
While letting other members along the way, died a few days ago and a year Lloyd Brevet aproxidamente Lloyd Knibb did.
With Lester Starling in the lead, and after last year's revolutionizing the Musics Sea, The Skatalites return, through the front door.
Shangaan Electro. A unique cultural phenomenon directly from the streets of Soweto.
A musical and dance style rooted in tradition but risen through the prism of technology: the musical heritage of ethnic Tsonga Shangaan, reinterpreted with electronic instruments and aesthetics between surreal and magical.
Rhythms devilishly fast (above 180 BPM), treated vocals and percussion MIDI to push the boundaries of the qualities of the most experienced dancers in the scene.
The show features the most emblematic figures of the movement: the stars of the same name that the stamp collection Honest Jon ¿s published in 2010 raising awareness of the phenomenon in the rest of the planet: the producer and vocalist Nozinja, accompanied by great DJ spoko and of course the masked dancers Tshetsha Boys.
The originality made show.
