Early last year, GZA halted work on Liquid Swords 2: The Return of the Shadowboxer to begin work on an audio-visual project that would be in "a league of its own". Whether his upcoming seventh solo LP, Dark Matter , is that very same project, it's definitely not of this world. Due for release sometime this year, the LP is an exploration of GZA's lifelong interest with various academic fields, particularly astronomy and quantum physics. "I recently met with quantum physicists who deepened my interest in the cosmos and gave me [...]

Grupo Fantasma's body-moving music dances its way to a second Grammy nomination.
Desta vez, não há por aqui grande tempo, nem paciência, para listas inacabáveis de discos e afins. Só concertos, e mesmo assim, com pena de não ter assistido a dezenas e dezenas de espectáculos que aconteceram ao longo de 2010 e nos quais, pelas mais diversas razões, não pude aparecer.

And, as the year winds to a close, they [...]

Grupo Fantasma Summer is the season for dancing. We think so. The New York Times thinks so . And if you need a reason to break out your moves – or to acquire said moves – then spend some time with Grupo Fantasma . The 10-piece orchestra plays a blend of funk, salsa, and cumbia, all powered by percussion, horns, and multiple vocalists. On their fifth album, El Existential , the lyrics belie the upbeat mood, with tales of despair, heartache, and death. In "La Conozco," a guy obsesses over a [...]
