Guelph - "That's a pretty good way to start off a folk festival." So said Old Man Luedecke after hearing a song by Lowlands , his partners in the "That Lucky Old Sun" workshop on the Lake Stage. Of course the Hillside Festival hasn't really been a folk festival for some time now, but it has held on to the general folky, hippie-ish vibe and has continued to book folk performers even as some of the festival's emphasis has shifted towards hot new indie rock acts. The lineup for the festival was generally pretty [...]

...hoje há Mão Morta em Corroios. Os concertos (há mais duas bandas, Pontos Negros e Fato Feto) começam às 22h e estão inseridos nas Festas Populares de Corroios, que decorrem na Quinta das Marialvas. A entrada é livre....e que amanhã há blues do deserto no CCB, com os Etran Finatawa, do Níger, que causaram grande sensação há dois anos, no FMM. Absolutamente imperdível. E a entrada também é livre.
América do Sul e deserto africano unem-se em território niponófilo. Chicha Libre com Alhousseini Mohamed Anivolla, dos Etran Finatawa (Níger), no Japanese American Museum, em Los Angeles. Não há Torres de Babel na música.
Etran Finatawa - Jama'aare Un blues man ar putea sta zile intregi cantand. Doar prin acordarea diferita a chitarii pot rezulta diferente tonale ce modifica aproape integral cromatica unei piese. Acum daca ne intoarcem la radacinile notelor albastre, undeva in vestul Africii, ii gasim pe muzicienii de la Etran Finatawa, care reprezinta doua mari culturi din Niger. Tuaregii, oamenii albastri ai desertului, vin cu o muzica nomada, care in esenta vorbeste despre libertate, o muzica fundamentata de inovatiile muzicale, folosirea instrumentelor, mai nou a chitarilor electrice acordate intr-o cheie diferita(Ichumar), astfel incat suna ca [...]

Etran Finatawa's Desert Crossroads has provided subtly wonderful background music for me these past few weeks, so it was a pleasant surprise to go to Pitchfork last week and read their edifying and well-written review of the record. I'd rehash for you but I honestly think you're better off heading there to learn about this collaboration between members of the Wodaabe and Tuareg tribes. Yes, it will probably help buy Ryan Schreiber yet another ivory back-scratcher but if you have any interest in mysterious, sand-swept Sahara tribal rhythms, you're better off [...]
