Limited-edition one-time pressing of 1000 copies. These photos are true "record porn" (that is, shellac 78rpm record porn) -- photographs of shelves groaning under the weight of unimaginable titles, beautiful label- and sleeve-designs from long-gone eras, wind-up talking machines, crammed antique shops, forgotten artists, and more, all of which somehow survived (often barely) India's archival obstacles -- dust, heat, floods, rebellion, partition, and war.</span><u style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;">Indian Talking Machine</u><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;"> is the result of nearly a year in India photographing record collections, interviewing collectors, and visiting archives and record markets; a personal take on the vast worlds of Indian music and the intricacies of collecting sound. One of the earliest non-Western outposts of the "recording industry," India's first recordings were made in 1902. The country's music is as beautiful as it is complex, as subtle as it is profound, and as divine as it is simple; these recordings offer virtuoso instrumental performances, jaw-dropping vocal renditions, folk music, comedy recordings, and even animal impressions.

<b>Roots World review of SF095 CD Radio Vietnam.</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Which brings us to the latest in Sublime Frequencies' confounding, mapless, aural travelogues into “the other.” Like their other radio series recordings, Radio Vietnam is a jarring stew. Here we have politically charged transistor snippets, news in English, ESL lessons, Vietnamese electric slide street guitar, lo-fi, synth drenched pop not unlike the grooves from neighboring Cambodia and Thailand, and hit-and-run hunks of ethnic m<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">inority music that somehow got caught up in the mix. The track titles, as usual, only enhance the confounding collage. “Morning Exercise in the Coded Ether,” for example, starts with digital beats, but switches abruptly to what sounds like a Martian pronouncing doom over a zither and feedback, only to be interrupted by a young Vietnamese woman speaking about something made esoteric by its lack of context before some of the most gorgeous electric guitar balladry ever copped from radio appears. This then is interrupted again by water chimes, incantations, socialist radio and perhaps what truly is an exercise regimen. And all of this takes about five minutes.</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
To go through this track by track seems as futile as trying to alleviate US poverty while Republicans have control of government. On and on this collection goes, perhaps useless to Vietnamese in country, but likely a joy to the few expats to hear it. But for the audience this is no doubt aimed at, it's another blunt missive fired at an already media-saturated west from a label whose early novelty has long been replaced by some seriously profound collections. Whether or not this CD-only release finds itself amongst them doesn't really matter. Oh, and Woody Guthrie even appears for a millisecond. </div>

In spite of this influx of popular styles, a few original talents have emerged, such as Koudbi Koala's Saaba, who perform traditional Mossi music from the region around Ouagadougou, the nation's capital. Popular traditional groups from Burkina Faso include balafon bands, percussion ensembles and others such as Farafina and Gabin Dabiré, who use elements of traditional Burkinabé music.</span></div>

Various Artists – Thai Pop Spectacular 2xLP<br />RECOMMENDED Thai Pop Spectacular collects 21 tracks of Southeast Asian pop nuttiness that was first released sometime in the 60s, 70s, or 80s, and pulled together by Alan Bishop and Mark Gergis in 2007. The CD has been sold out for years, but Record Store Day 2015 is as good a moment as any to reissue it on vinyl. As i<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">s often the case with Sublime Frequencies vinyl, the packaging (a gatefold with notes and a few head-scratch-inducing photos) is fabulous, and the pressing pretty decent too. The music ranges from dusk-of-psychedelia twang to passably deep funk to straight-up disco, and almost none of the vocals are in English; this music was intended for the home market, not tourists. The singing tends towards extravagant nasality, and if the translated song titles are to be believed, this is pretty nutty stuff. But Google Translate didn’t corroborate any of the translated titles, so it is possible that “Papaya Salad Merchant” and “Look Whose Underwear Is Showing” are really about something more prosaic. But for the non-Thai speakers out there, what does it matter?

<div style="font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 1.38;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.38;">The names themselves are exotic: Ouagadougou, the Burkina Faso capital with a thriving underground music scene; the ngoni, a stringed instrument that is an ancestor of the banjo; “Ntijiguimorola,” a song as funky as its title. The Sublime Frequencies label releases music from faraway places with faraway names, and that faraway mood is a big part of the label’s draw. But one of the label’s most recent releases does not offer their usual field recordings with birds competing for sound space or vintage pop records recorded under compromised circumstances and pressed on bad vinyl. Juguya, the new album by Baba Commandant and the Mandingo Band, is a professional studio recording with strong production values that blend traditional Mandingue music and electric instruments for an intensely funky Afrobeat sound.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.38;">Commandant was born Sanou Mamadou in Bobo-Dioulasso, which, after the capital, is the second largest city in Burkina Faso. Mamadou’s stage name suits a commanding musical leader, and his booming voice dominates the album, his dreads and menacing look a compelling visual signature for the music. But is he a figurehead? In a promotional video for the funky title track “Juguya,” you see Mamadou performing the long-necked, six-string ngoni, which adds a delicate texture to the solid rhythm section. Yet the music is dominated by another sound, its grooves breaking out not just with voices but with electric guitar. Simon Chenet and Issouf Diabaté split guitar solo duties on the album’s eight tracks. Frenchman Chenet achieves an electric trance with his solos, while the Burkinabé Diabaté is the more metal of the two. Yes, metal. This smoldering blend of traditional and modern African music sounds a lot like Fela Kuti cranking it up to 11.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.38;">“Tilé” opens the album with a funky guitar line before horns and call-and response chants come in over the simmering groove. This is a more condensed Afrobeat than Fela’s, topping out at six minutes instead of Fela’s typical half-hour pulse. I can only imagine how these songs expand in concert, developing into deep trances and even more incantatory solos.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.38;">Diabaté pushes “Folon” along with sludgy metal riffs, while the amps get turned down for “Siguisso,” which is the album’s most traditional-sounding track. Still, Mamadou’s booming voice makes it an intense piece. “Wasso” breaks out into a blistering guitar solo from Chenet, its rhythms shifting from sheets of sound to sharp, echoing wails and dropping out into an even more heavily reverbed drum and bass section that comes off like Afrobeat dub.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.38;">Juguya is a well-paced groove album, its rhythms based in Afrobeat but taking survey of American rock and funk genres and laying electric waste to them. The music is made of raw materials carefully mixed for sonic effect, like the rippling guitar figure that comes and goes on “Wasso.” French producer Camille Louvel, a champion of hip-hop and other musicians in Burkina Faso, worked on this album’s rich, modern mix with Colin Thevenin and Sublime Frequencies co-founder Hisham Mayet. The production elevates their dense sound without making it slick. If you ever wondered what the music of Konono No. 1 and other Congotronics artists might sound without the lo-fi trappings, get this album.</span></div>

"...The artists featured on Thai Pop Spectacular range from modest players of their time to major stars. The collection includes one of the earliest tracks from Pumpuang Duangjan (dubbed "the queen of luk thung"), who brought that style into popular music to stay. Also featured is the "shadow music" string sounds of Johnny Guitar, legendary comedian Sangthong Seesai, two classic tracks from Thai films, blazing examples of Bangkok disco from the 1970s, and the most outrageous version of "The Night Chicago Died" you'll ever encounter. Thick horn sections, wah-wah guitars, tight drums, and funky organs round out this superb collection, which proves beyond a doubt that the Thai were a completely unique and powerful force during the global popular music explosion of the 1960s, '70s, '80s.

Et si l’on retrouve les sonorités traditionnelles <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">mandingues</strong>, l’artiste originaire de Bobo Dioulasso (ville à la frontière malienne), n’hésite pas à aller emprunter du côté de l’<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">afrobeat</strong> (avec des sections cuivres remarquables, assurées par son groupe le <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">Mandinguo Band</strong>), mais aussi du rock, du <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">punk</strong>, du hip-hop, et même du dub.</div>

L’image de punk du Baba Commandant, Mamadou Sanou de son vrai nom, n’est pas née aujourd’hui ; il faut dire qu’il n’est pas un de ces jeunes premiers pris au berceau sous l’aile d’une maison de disque international, son parcours artistique a débuté en 81 comme danseur, puis petit à petit, au rythme des cabarets et des <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">balani</strong>, et au côté de grand nom de la musique ouest-africaine (notamment le burkinabé <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">Victor Démé</strong>), Commandant Baba s’est forgé une solide réputation.

<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">A very cool set that returns to the earliest style of the Sublime Frequencies label – those 90s releases that often had the company grabbing global sounds out of the ether, then committing them to tape! The set here is exactly what's promised by the title – music from the radio in Vietnam – put together at a level that's extremely thoughtful and a lot more compelling than just flipping the dial in Southeast Asia! Each track is kind of a different pastiche of songs and spoken bits – assembled in a way that creates a certain flavor, and really makes a new sort of music out of these invisible sounds from the air. Titles include "Home Village Identity Event", "Induction Temperature", "Hit Zones", "Morning Exercise In The Coded Ether", "Message To The Age Of Twenty", and "America Lost The Vietnam War". © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.</span></b></div>

<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">With his world-music label Sublime Frequencies, Hisham Mayet has become something of a cross between Alan Lomax and Anthony Bourdain, traveling to war-torn landscapes to record popular and ritual music in Africa and the Middle East. In the process, he exposes the musicians he encounters to wider audiences in Europe and North America. For the de</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">but of his ambitious new project — a planned six-volume series surveying the musical landscape of Niger’s Sahel region, famed for its mix of nomadic animist and Afro-Islamic cultures — Mayet has released a trove of field recordings he collected over the past decade. The album includes live recordings of griots, or praise singers, whose improvised, hand-percussion-backed performances blend storytelling, gossip, and commentary on local events. An astonishing cut from Koudede, a popular Tuareg guitarist killed last year in a car accident, showcases his haunting, Arabic-infused, bluesy songs that made him a local hero. Songs to back the courtship dances of the Wodaabe tribe as well as several call-and-response choruses, syncopated to oil-can drums, round out this collection.</span></div>

One of the most solid albums we've ever heard on the Sublime Frequencies label – a studio recording by a group with a really great approach to their music – a style that mixes classic Afro Funk elements with rootsier elements on the instrumentation! The grooves are tight, but the sound has some nice earthy qualities at times – especially in Baba Commandment's use of ngoni, which rings out in a way that's both melodic and rhythmic at the same time – echoing an older mandingo tradition, but coming across with a lot of punch! Other instrumentation includes lots of percussion, fuzzy guitars, and balafon too – and most of the vocals have a call/response style, in which other singers call out alongside Baba's lead. Really great stuff – with titles that include "Tile", "Folon", "Wasso", "Juguya", "Siguisso", and "Ntijiguimorola". © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.</div>

<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Well, there's Records Of The Week, and then there's Records Of The Week. This one was quite a nice surprise. And it's not like we don't already expect great things from the globetrotting subversives at the Sublime Frequencies label, they're always making great discoveries - we almost take 'em for granted now, we suppose. So with this album, by the wonderfully-named Baba Commandant and the Mandingo Band, which boast a striking cover design too, at first we were like, that's probably going to be cool, but then when we heard it, we were like, this is REALLY cool. We were expecting some kind of funky Afrobeat, and that's what it is, but much wilder than we ever imagined. Totally off the hook!</span><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> </span></div>

Baba Commandant, born in 1973, who sings and plays the ngoni (an ancient, traditional lute), has been an active and original presence on the music scene in Burkina Faso for many years. He's been in various other bands, but as far as we know, this is the debut release from this group. It's a cool discovery on the part of Sublime Frequencies, but we bet Baba Commandant & Co. would have been heard sooner or later over here, just due to the tons of rhythmic energy radiating from their music. Yup, they've got plenty of power (there's guitars to go with the ngoni, horns too, and they don't hold back), making for some pretty hot jams. The wide ranging vocals of Baba and his backup singers are crucial too, and together the group really casts a hypnotic spell. Fans of Konono No.1, of all the cool desert guitar bands that Sublime Frequencies has brought us before (like the late, great Koudede, whom Baba Commandant has performed a live tribute to), of anything Afro-funky and maybe a bit eccentric in that vein, check this out, you will dig!!</span></div>

<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Each month, we are focusing on a record label founded by an active digger. This month, Hisham Mayet, co-founder and co-owner of Sublime Frequencies, a label which, since 2003, has been documenting many obscure scenes, from eastern psyche pop to sahel post folk, from ancient to more futuristic.</strong></div>

<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">When did you start digging records?</strong>Early 80’s, in my early teens.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">What LPs did you buy at first?</strong>I was buying punk and post punk LPs. Some early hardcore singles, stuff on SST (Meat Puppets, Minutemen, Black Flag, UK shit, early Cure, Joy Division, New Order, Mekons, Gang of Four, Wire…).</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Do you still listen to them?</strong>Not so much, but I still have most of it.</div>

<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Do you have any particular style or favorite period?</strong>I don’t have a particular style that I collect. I’m into so many styles and genres. I collect Calypso, Free Jazz, ethnographic records, international sounds from around the globe from the mid-50s to the mid 70s, late 60’s psych from around the world and 60’s/70’s Italian/Euro soundtracks and library LPs… The list is endless. My collection is staggering in its diversity.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; line-height: inherit;">What was your first issue?</strong></div>
We released five titles at once. Three albums (‘Folk And Pop Sounds Of Sumatra Volume 1’, ‘Radio Java’, ‘Night Recordings From Bali’) and two DVDs (<em style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Nat Pwe: Burma’s Carnival Of Spirit Soul</em>, by Alan & Richard Bishop, <em style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Jemaa El Fna: Morocco’s Rendez-vous Of The Dea</em>d by myself).<br />
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Were you at the beginning of story, with Alan Bishop ? How and when did you meet him ?</strong>Yes, I approached Alan about the idea to start an ethnographic style label. When we discussed it further, we launched Sublime Frequencies officially in 2003. But, we had already been discussing and collecting for many years prior. I was a fanatical fan of Sun City Girls (Alan’s along with brother Richard and Charles Gocher’s unclassifiable musical universe for some 30 years)… We started communicating with some regularity in the mid-90’s.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">What could be the editorial/esthetic line of the label ?</strong>We release things we’re passionate about. We all have our own particular aesthetic and the collective is diversified enough to make it interesting moving forward.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">What could be your leitmotif for the label?</strong>I think our mission statement sums it up pretty well. « Sublime Frequencies is a collective of explorers dedicated to acquiring and exposing obscure sights and sounds from modern and traditional urban and rural frontiers via film and video, field recordings, radio and short wave transmissions, international folk and pop music, sound anomalies, and other forms of human and natural expression not documented sufficiently through all channels of academic research, the modern recording industry, media, or corporate foundations. »</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">How do you decide on the choice of reissues or new releases? Is it a team decision?</strong>Alan and I often discuss and have a final say on what is released. We both have very similar tastes so there really is a unified vision moving forward.</div>

If you look at our discography, you’ll see that we are well beyond « oriental/arabic music ». We have outside of SF released (Alan with Abduction/Myself with Outernational/Assophon) over 100 other releases outside of SF. So, we – me as Alan – are not confined to certain geographic regions.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">How did you discover musicians like Group Doueh ? Rumors? Listening to a tape?</strong>All the rumors are true. I landed in a house in Dakhla un-announced and a cassette and boombox later, history was made.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Were you surprised by the success story of Dabke groover Omar Souleymane?</strong>Yes we were. So much so that we decided he was too big for us.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Are you still digging, buying vinyl, visiting record shops?</strong>Yep. Still digging. I’m writing from Trinidad now and just spent a day digging in a storage space. I was just in Paris and digging at Superfly. I know Paulo, Manu and Nico and have been shopping there over the years…</div>

<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">What is the best deal/business : to make reissue or to produce new records?</strong>Both!</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Are they two different jobs?</strong>It can be. Re-issues sometimes deal with dead artists or defunct labels and their archives. Sometimes, there is a lot of missing informations when you are dealing with obscure material from a forgotten location. Lots of archeology in that process. Contemporary artists require a different approach and the variable can be much different. There is touring and new material and a host of logistics involved.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">There are more and more reissues of old LPs. Do you think that the LP reissue market could ever reach saturation point?</strong>I think there is a saturation point, but it is always exciting to see what coming out via the mafia of reissue labels. The production values are amazing as well. I don’t know as a collector, it is an exciting time. But then again as a collector it is always exciting!</div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><big style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></strong></big>This year marks the 100th birthday of folklorist Alan Lomax, whose field recordings provided scholars and musicians with essential examples of American folk music. Sublime Frequencies co-founder Hisham Mayet carries on in this tradition with his own series of field recordings that go further than Lomax would have ever dreamed of. The first volume of the new Sublime Frequencies series <em style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Folk Music of the Sahel </em>focuses on ethnic groups in Niger, and consists of field recordings Mayet made in his travels through the country in the past decade.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px;">Mayet’s interest in the region stemmed from an ethnographic film about the Bori possession cult of Niger. You can’t get more exotic, and “other” than that, but if the allure of the spirit world was what started Mayet on this journey, he found not just spirit ceremonies but the extraordinary music of ordinary life.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Opening track “Al Fulani” comes from the Hausa region and features two musicians playing the <em style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">gourmi</em>, three-stringed instruments played with a stick, accompanied by vocals and a talking drum. The traditional string instruments are percussive, and bring complicated polyrhythms to a song that praises the beauty of women in a region of Western Niger. Lyrics aren’t provided, but I imagine this frenetic music boils down to, “I wish they all could be Fulani girls.”</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Other tracks from the Hausa region tackle more serious matters. Ceremonial music performed by The Orchestra of the Sultan of Zinder has the chaos of free jazz, vocals and horn lines and drumbeats all in apparent discord from another. But there must be some kind of structure I can’t hear, because the chants are in honor of the Sultan, and you’d think he’d demand order in his praises.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">If you came to this set looking for music from possession ceremonies, you won’t be disappointed. “Music for a Hauka Ceremony” is led by a <em style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">goje</em>, a one or two-stringed fiddle frequently used in possession ceremonies. This track is a rare recording of such a ritual, the musicians performing along with a priest, two mediums and a client in spiritual crisis. It’s distracting that, if you’re wearing good headphones, you can hear someone cough and hock up a luger near the end of the track, but perhaps this unceremonious sound is a signal that the spirit was expelled and the ritual was a success. The album includes a brief recording of a second possession ceremony in which the <em style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">goje</em> solo septs out from the traditional rhythm for some free spirited, incantatory improv.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Traditional instruments are featured through much of the set, but Niger is also known for a vibrant modern music scene. The seven-minute “Denke Denke” is guitar-heavy music for a Fulani wedding. “Bismillhia” is a collaboration between Ousenni, master of the stringed <em style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">molo</em>, and Koudede, a beloved Tuareg guitarist who died in a car accident in 2012. Those intrigued by this sound should track down music by Mdou Moctar, whose modernized Tuareg guitar music with electronic treatments are featured on albums released by the Sahel Sounds label. The booklet that accompanies <em style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Folk Music of the Sahel </em>includes vividly colorful photographs of the people of Niger. I wish there were more photos to accompany the set, but as Sublime Frequencies has promised more volumes in this series, I’ll just have to wait for their next exploration of the region.</span></div>

<br />Filmés "roots" comme par des amateurs appliqués et passionnés, évitant souvent les commentaires pour laisser parler les images et les sons, ces <em>field recordings</em> ont plus de charme que bien des documentaires peaufinés et formatés. Axés sur la musique traditionnelle des pays visités, ces récits de voyage s'attardent sur le contre-champ de la vie quotidienne, révélant le paysage sonore et social contemporain où surnage la tradition. <em><noindex><a href="http://www.orkhestra.fr/catalog.php?FIND=SF094" style="color: #662222;">The Stirring of Thousand Bells</a></noindex></em> de Matt Dunning oppose ainsi le gamelan javanais à la fête populaire du Festival Sekaten, un cours de danse dans le Palais Mangkunegaran se superpose à la vie nocturne de Solo.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="274" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/u4wHAFevzAE" width="485"></iframe></div>

<br /><em><noindex><a href="http://www.orkhestra.fr/catalog.php?FIND=SF082" style="color: #662222;">Small Path Music</a></noindex></em> est un voyage de Laurent Jeanneau filmé par David Harris sur les plateaux du Sud-Est asiatique à la frontière entre la Chine et le Laos. De rituels shamaniques en chansons d'amour le collecteur de sons commente sa démarche et ses rencontres. Le road movie s'axe sur les musiques rarement entendues des minorités ethniques qui risquent de disparaître rapidement.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="274" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VMHw5na1Ka8" width="485"></iframe></div>

<br />Le film de Hisham Mayet, <em><noindex><a href="http://www.orkhestra.fr/catalog.php?FIND=SF089" style="color: #662222;">Vodoun Gods on the Slave Coast</a></noindex></em>, dévoile diverses cérémonies vaudous du Bénin (ex Dahomey). On y découvre le culte Sakpata, dieu de la terre, de la variole et de la guérison, les Egoun-gouns, revenants du Royaume des Morts pour conseiller les vivants ou la police secrète des Zangbeto se déplaçant la nuit déguisés en meules de foin...<br />Ces trois DVD appartiennent au label de Seatle, <noindex><a href="http://www.sublimefrequencies.com/" style="color: #662222;">Sublime Frequencies</a></noindex>, dirigé par Alan Bishop des Sun City Girls, qui a déjà publié une centaine d’enregistrements en cd, vinyles et dvd en provenance d’Asie du sud-est, du Moyen Orient, du Maghreb et de l’Afrique. Une partie (dont ces DVD) est distribuée en France par <noindex><a href="http://www.orkhestra.fr/label_vue.php?POSIT=111" style="color: #662222;">Orkhêstra</a></noindex>. Ils n'en révèlent pas seulement les musiques traditionnelles ou actuelles, mais aussi la vie quotidienne, "les curiosités, les petits riens « en voie de disparition », ceux-là même que les reportages s’échinent à gommer si scrupuleusement".<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0ywahsfokAE" width="420"></iframe></div>

<br />Les enregistrements de rue sont évidemment passionnants, mais ce sont les programmes radio qui me font le plus rêver. Certains sont des <em>plunderphonics</em>, zapping de séquences plus ou moins longues comme j'en réalise depuis les années 70, suite de mon enfance où je cherchais les bruits du monde sur les ondes courtes du gros Telefunken de mon grand-père. <em><noindex><a href="http://www.orkhestra.fr/catalog.php?FIND=SF002" style="color: #662222;">Radio Java</a></noindex>, Radio Morocco</em> (on y est transporté mieux qu'avec n'importe quel disque), <em>Radio Palestine</em> (cosmopolite à fond), <em>Radio India, <noindex><a href="http://www.orkhestra.fr/catalog.php?FIND=SF020" style="color: #662222;">Radio Phnom Penh</a></noindex>, Radio Sumatra, Radio Pyongyang</em> (sous-titré<em>Commie Funk and Agit Pop from the Hermit Kingdom</em> !), <em><noindex><a href="http://www.orkhestra.fr/catalog.php?FIND=SF028" style="color: #662222;">Radio Thailand</a></noindex>, Radio Algeria, Radio Myanmar, Radio Niger, Radio Vietnam</em>... Au catalogue on trouve aussi des albums trépidents du Syrien <noindex><a href="http://www.orkhestra.fr/catalog.php?FIND=SF05500" style="color: #662222;">Omar Souleymane</a></noindex> ou du Turc <noindex><a href="http://www.orkhestra.fr/catalog.php?FIND=SF067" style="color: #662222;">Erkin Koray</a></noindex>, des groupes <noindex><a href="http://www.orkhestra.fr/catalog.php?FIND=SF034" style="color: #662222;">Inerane</a></noindex>, <noindex><a href="http://www.orkhestra.fr/catalog.php?FIND=SF066" style="color: #662222;">Doueh</a></noindex>, <noindex><a href="http://www.orkhestra.fr/catalog.php?FIND=SF04600" style="color: #662222;">Bombino</a></noindex> et des kitcheries délicieuses de la compilation birmane <em><noindex><a href="http://www.orkhestra.fr/catalog.php?FIND=SF00600" style="color: #662222;">Princess Nicotine</a></noindex></em>, la merveilleuse <em><noindex><a href="http://www.orkhestra.fr/catalog.php?FIND=SF04300" style="color: #662222;">Bollywood Steel Guitar</a></noindex></em>, le <em><noindex><a href="http://www.orkhestra.fr/catalog.php?FIND=SF02500" style="color: #662222;">Choubi Choubi</a></noindex></em>irakien, le guitariste égyptien <noindex><a href="http://www.orkhestra.fr/catalog.php?FIND=SF05200" style="color: #662222;">Omar Khorshid</a></noindex>, le <em><noindex><a href="http://www.orkhestra.fr/catalog.php?FIND=SF079" style="color: #662222;">Pop Yeh Yeh</a></noindex></em> malais, <em><noindex><a href="http://www.orkhestra.fr/catalog.php?FIND=SF04500" style="color: #662222;">1970's Algerian Proto-Rai Underground</a></noindex></em> et tant d'autres. Il existe d'ailleurs un DVD mp3 réunissant les 51 premières références dont beaucoup sont aujourd'hui introuvables car le label sort souvent en tirage limité. "Vivantes mais également vibrantes, humoristiques, souvent low-tech (parce qu’à l’exacte fréquence des pays traversés), plus proches de l’art audio que des projections « Connaissance du Monde » telles sont les productions Sublime Frequencies".</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal;">
I happen to live in an area of the country that is rather optimistically dubbed “The Sun Belt,” but whoever gave it that name has never spent a February in North Carolina. We are in the cold, gray days my friends, and Punxsutawney Phil has forsaken us. Thank God, then, for the sunny sounds of Baba Commandant and the Mandingo Band to carry us through these dire times. Baba Commandant and the Mandingo Band (henceforth BCMB) hail from Burkina Faso and play a heady brew of Afrobeat and folk music rooted in the Burkinan tradition. Their bouncy jam “Juguya” makes you want to dance until you can’t feel your feet anymore, but it’s not just fun and games: there’s plenty of grit to go around.<br />
<br />
On “Juguya,” Baba Commandant alternately croons and howls his way through waves of dense funk, his voice shifting back and forth like a nimble reveler threading their way across the dance floor. His <i>donso ngoni</i>, a traditional West African hunter’s harp, skitters underneath the electric instrumentation, giving the song’s monster Afrobeat funk a delicate skeleton upon which it ceaselessly dances. Towards the song’s conclusion a saxophone cuts in and picks up speed, racing pell-mell onward to collapse at the finish line, utterly spent. It’s a sentiment anyone who listens to this track can appreciate. Sublime Frequencies is slated to release the <i>Juguya</i>LP in late February. I think I speak for all my fellow stir-crazy, frozen-ass Sun Belters when I say it can’t come soon enough.<br />

Gamelan is one of the ancient music traditions of the world. In Solo,
it’s still a part of everyday life and an important cultural custom. A
complex wonder of human invention, it comes from a timeless world of
aural tradition, contemplation, and relaxed living. These films capture
the essence of the gamelan tradition, in the context of the changing
modern world. Come and experience Java and feel what it’s like to be
lost in a world of history.</div>
<br />
The Stirring of a Thousand Bells (Sublime Frequencies 2014, 51 min), by Matt Dunning<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Sekaten - 35’15” - Experience Java's most cosmic music festival where
the old world and the new are colliding, creating captivating images
and sound. It attempts to put the viewer in the perspective of someone
experiencing the Sekaten festival for the first time, leaving a sense of
curiosity, and desire to learn more about Javanese culture.<br />
<br />
2. Srimpi Muncar - 15’20” - Enchanting melodies and meditative dance
from Mangkunegaran Palace, with arresting images from throughout Java.</div>
<br />
<b>The evening will start with a musical performance:</b><br />
An Imaginary Live Soundtrack for Ambient Worlds: Indonesia meets Canada by the Andrew Timar & Bill Parsons Duo<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
Playing Sundanese instruments from West Java, Indonesia Canadian
composer-musicians Andrew Timar (suling: ring flute & kacapi:
zither), and Bill Parsons (kacapi, & guitar) with guest Matthew
Dunning (kendhang sabet: Central Javanese barrel drum) weave an ambient
soundtrack to an imaginary film, woven with fixed and improvised
interlocking minimalist sonic textures, using threads of Sundanese
songs, bronze Javanese kemanak, bells and gamelan drumming.</div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Sublime Frequencies label is best known for its</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><i style="font-size: 12pt;">audio verite</i><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">recordings and for reissues from Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Recently they’ve dipped their toe into releasing studio recordings of current artists, most famously Omar Souleyman.</span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="14aef2470ed5cae7_more" rel="nofollow" style="color: #222222; font-size: 12pt;"></a><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Now they have another winner in Baba Commandant & The Mandingo Band from Burkina Faso in West Africa. They’re a soulful, gritty, funky band, playing a variety of local rhythms with the forward thrust of Afrobeat and the attitude of rock ‘n’ roll. Baba Commandant has a gravelly voice that growls and moans like Howlin’ Wolf or Moussa Doumbia (the James Brown of Mali); his</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><i style="font-size: 12pt;">donso ngoni</i><span style="font-size: 12pt;">(West African hunters’ harp) playing provides the harmonic center for stinging guitar and saxophone solos that occasionally spiral out into space like free jazz and are brought back to earth by an in-the-pocket rhythm section of bass guitar and drum kit. Is this folk music, pop or jazz? Yes, it’s all of the above and then some. The recording is basic and spends more time in the red than a pro might recommend – it sounds just like they must sound in a sweaty little nightclub. This is the real sound of Africa today – don’t miss it.</span></div>

Coming from Bobo-Dioulasso, the group is steeped in the Mandingue musical traditions of their ancestral legacy. The enigmatic lead singer Baba Commandant (</span><b style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;">Mamadou Sanou</b><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;">) is an original and eccentric character who is well respected in the Burkinabé musical community. A sort of punk Faso Dan Fani activist for traditional Mandingo music, Baba continues to redefine the boundaries between traditional and modern.

Baba Commandant plays the ngoni, the instrument of the Donso (the traditional hunters in this region of Burkina Faso and Mali). His audience comprises multiple generations and strata of Burkinabé society; he accordingly adapts his repertoire to his surroundings, which range from cabaret Sundays in Bobo-Dioulasso to the sound systems of Ouagadougou. Baba Commandant and the Mandingo Band are a formidable force steeped in Ouagadougou's DIY underground musical culture.</span><u style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;">Juguya</u><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;"> is their sound.

<span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;">Radio is an audio compass; the radio antennae, a divining rod. Positioned anywhere, it opens an exclusive window directly into the location in which it sits. Signals received on the medium wave (AM) and FM bands reveal programming intended for a local population by governmental, independent, pirate, or corporate media broadcasters. Anything from low-powered ethnic minority transmissions, high-powered westernized pop stations, and omnipresent state-run radio can be found on these bands. Shortwave bands expand the breadth and scope, pulling in regional and international receptions. Everything received factors into the experience. Music, news, talk shows, advertisements, station IDs, cross-phased interference, errant or intentional static-generated sounds, distant detritus, and random broadcast anomalies all become equally relevant. This disc continues the Sublime Frequencies locale-specific radio collage series with Vietnamese radio recordings culled and assembled from signals received in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City between December 2013 and November 2014. Inside the 70-minute program are moments of outstanding folkloric, traditional, and pop music, including performances on the electric guitar and the dan bau (a one-stringed guitar-like instrument), eclectic Vietnamese folk and rock stylings, dramatic effects-laden radio theater and musical segues, new wave pop forays, traditional percussion and vocal chants, news segments, dynamic radio bumpers, jingles and advertisements, comedic interludes, phoned-in karaoke sing-a-longs, English-language programming, early-morning exercise regimens, and coded messages from the outer ether. The grand total sum of these radio recordings doesn't aim to present a certified ethnographic study of contemporary Vietnam. Rather, the material here aims to distill and replicate the excitement, engagement, and discovery gained during heavy exposure to Vietnamese broadcasts over an eleven-month period during the teenage years of the twenty-first century. CD comes in a beautiful digipak with full color images, a booklet, and liner notes by </span><b style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;">Mark Gergis</b><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;">, who recorded, compiled, sequenced, and produced the project for Sublime Frequencies on location in Vietnam.</span></div>

<tr><td><span id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_lblDescription"><u>Music of Tanzania</u> is a spectacular collection of field recordings gathered by <b>Laurent Jeanneau</b> between December 1999 and March 2000. This debut volume of Sublime Frequencies' exploration of indigenous Tanzanian music compiles sacred and profane songs and dances of the Hadza, Datoga, and Makonde people. Highlights include stoned ecstatic dancing in a Hadza encampment; a drunken celebration of preteen sexual initiation from a Makonde fishing village; baboon imitations performed on the malimba; electrified Islamic trance percussion; and useful tips for amateur hyrax hunters. Many of these poignant, exhilarating performances come from dwindling minority groups whose way of life stretches back to the Stone Age, and who are capable of creating breathtaking music with anything from agricultural tools to tin cans and plastic tubes. Laurent Jeanneau is absolutely fearless in his pursuit of rare, exceptional and vibrant performances. He views his ongoing documentation of ethnic minority music as an act of resistance to globalization, state-sanctioned "peasant traditions," and cultural homogeneity, and accordingly spends months living under harsh and dangerous conditions in order to capture impromptu performances in their everyday cultural context. Using this method, Jeanneau has self-produced almost 100 albums preserving threatened musical traditions from some of the most remote regions on earth, in addition to compiling multiple volumes for Sublime Frequencies. This limited edition double LP tip-on gatefold package includes striking photographs by <b>James Stephenson</b> and detailed liner notes by Jeanneau.</span></td></tr>
