Pibo Marquez & Descarga Criolla 2 -Te Pones a Bailar

first big apologies from all the present team 

that's me and kokolo-and I know that Miguel is always with us,even seemingly absent-

for not updating this nice little spot more often as we certainly should 

it is life's different courses and needs that sometimes oblige us to withdraw from some activities  

and toil in others,as for me after completing a first  circle in my new blog 

I can promise you a  little winter/summer -sensual and spicy party from this spot 

hot and at least more frequent than in the previous months 

let's make a new start

Percussionist, composer, arranger, and band leader Joel “Pibo” Marquez

was born in Caracas June 22, 1966. 

At an early age, he began exploring music with the support of his family.

He began his musical studies of the cuatro, and other string instruments in Venezuelan roots music,

and began participating in different folklore groups at just 8 years of age. 

He continued his formation at the popular school Cristo Rey, in the district 23 de Enero, 

at Caracas where he refined his skill and education of Latin American percussion and its origins.

 His studies soon extended to other countries in Latin America,

 Cuba, Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru and Surinam,

 having the support of an important cultural organization in Venezuela.

 In 1980, he had the opportunity to put into practice what he learned from these experiences,

 linking them with different groups of Venezuelan folklore through 1984,

when Grupo Madera summoned him.

 This group of international recognition helped him to show his excellent musical capacity 

and his extensive knowledge of the percussion.

After separating from this group, Marquez began to explore other musical styles like salsa,

 Latin jazz as well as contemporary music for ballet and theater.

 He then moved to Colombia, where he resided for six years.

 There, in 1998, he was hired as a sideman for Alfredo de la Fe's orchestra.

 Soon afterwards, famous guitarist Carlos Santana commissioned him

 to write some songs to tour with him-a great honor for Marquez, 

who considers Santana to be one of his personal heroes. 

In the beginning of 1998, Pibo Marquez was offered the chance to produce the first recording under his name. The album bears the name Joel Pibo Marquez, Con Las Manos Calientes.....

Passion to play
thegoodone to say

from linear notes: Vasko Atanasovski (born 1977 in Maribor) is one of the few Slovenian musicians who, besides researching contemporary improvised music, Afro-American and European tradition, ethnic music from different parts of the world, succeeded to develop exceptional originality in composition and musical style. Numerous projects, in which he had been researching new 9 concepts of communication, aesthetics and creativity, are behind him. In 1990 he won the r award on the competition of young saxophonists from former Yugoslavia. When he was seventeen, he began to play gipsy music and started to take part in dance and theater projects. In 1996 he joined the legendary Quatebriga jazz ensemble. Ever since he has been devoted to his own productions as a founder of many music groups and projects (Vasko Atanasovski Quartet, Vasko Atanasovski iMPRODooM, Slavika Ensemble, Solo Akupunktura, Atanasovski-Berden-Bartoli Trio). In 2001 he published Akupunktura, a small edition solo album, and in 2002 the album Heat Flower came out at the Austrian record label Extraplatte. Suite de passion brings forth contemporary music, marked with elements of flamenco, jazz and ".ein music. The idea is rooted in existentialism: the existence is a ,,passion in both senses, as md desire. These feelings inspired the conception of Suite de passion, dynamic and passionate v among the excellent improviser Atanasovski, outstanding Italian acoustic bassist Roberto imnd all-round Slovenian pianist Dejan Berden.

my work is done
it is up to you
to pass on thegoodone

From the vaults of radio station SWF (today SWR) and previously unreleased, this fantastic group with a rather unusual instrumentation (flutes, bass, drums) blow your ears away. They played music you probably haven't heard before. Call it Free rock, living new jazz or just extremely good music, this trio is far out of any limitations. The music of the Dieter Bihlmaier Selection possesses genuine power, where explosive eruptions alternate with lyric moments. On repeated listening the music develops an irresistible pull that we wish to share with all lovers of "good music". These recordings are without any doubt not only of high musical value, they are also an absolute rarity, since unlike the two albums of the Dieter Bihlmaier Selection, they were recorded just in the trio formation flute, bass and drums and without the participation of the vibraphone player. The SWF-Recordings 1973 of Dieter Bihlmaier Selection are an outstanding musical achievement. CD comes with full coloured 12 pages booklet including band history and a lot of photos. Digitally remastered from the original master tape. If you want to listen to more...... listen to Dieter Bihlmaier Selection The SWF-Recordings 1973.

warning ! fake freedomblues !

fake freedomblues (and blackstarliners and 0earth) activated.

mY blogs were removed last January along with hundreds of others as  casualties of the megaupload hunt I  presume.I had "almost" forgot about it....
the standard google/blogger policy in such cases till now was that the blog name and it's  url was not available for new blogs anymore.
to my  ultimate surprise I found out lately that all their names were given away and reactivated  by someone who is probably intending to sell blog names!
a very original  and enterprising idea that  oblidges  me to laugh sarcastically with these new age practices..Happy blog sellings then!
Anyway I had to come back to warn my fellow bloggers and friends(starting with this blog)
that still remember my old blogs to remove them permanently from their  lists and preferences.those fake blogs have nothing to do with me now or in the future.
the only freedomblues that is alive is in my heart and can't be deleted from there.

nauma

and to remember freedomblues I'm giving you the two compilations of Tanzanian musiki wa dansi bands
the older first part posted on fdb and the second  for this blog.

the more I listen (again) to these bands the more I love (again) and more deeply,this time-this music.The Tanzanian people must be very proud of it..Dance and entertainment of the highest caliber by these,in most cases "state sponsored" bands.Hope you enjoy it along.As you can imagine,I'm in the middle of a "dansi hurricane" during the last days and this resulted the coming compilation.I have included in the file four pdf's for a more compete understanding  of the era that produced this tre-tre beautiful music.there is enough material for a second round when we visit again Tanzania.NUTA Jazz and Dar es Salaam bands are not represented,since they had their portraits already,but my favorite,taarab spiced, Kiko Kids Jazz are here in full force with 5 tracks:Tanganyika na Uhuru! Kids Jazz!

Musiki wa dansi 1

unakaribishwa!  finally here comes the second,  long  announced , volume of Musiki wa dansi,the   legacy of popular dance music from the divine, I know that I'm  exaggerating a bit using this word but that's very close to (the always personal) truth (= heart)  of mostly state financed  Jazz bands of Tanzania  from the early 60's till the late 70's and by jazz  we surely mean the  local East African brass and percussion rumba variations. 

(add to them some of the sweetest guitars that ever came out of  the Tanzanian tubes)

I must say  that I'm  particularly  happy to dive again in such an effort and  compile a new mix  as  I have many years of  affection for this material. How they sound today apart from the inevitable and  certain nostalgia  that  stimulates  memories?a whole era is unfolding through these  slow burning swahili rumbas that  are still  vintage and unsurpassed to these  ears.

all real music for all real people.I'm sure you get my point ...to be continued....

After producing "Ngola Ritmos", the singer made several tours in Angola as well as in Portugal before recording her first album "Monami".

She later worked with the "Jovens do Prenda" band.
During her musical career, Lourdes Van-Dunem had also performed in Brazil, South Africa, Algeria, France, Spain and Zimbabwe.

Sekou Kouyate Experience - Dia

SEKOU KOUYATE is a musician from Guinea Conakry living in France, who earned himself the nickname The Jimi Hendrix of Africa and Jimi Sékou Kora with playing the 21-string African harp called kora. In his group Ba Cissoko, which is perform-ing all over the world, the kora is often supplemented by electrical effects, which usually rock guitarists use. Sekou comes from the Griot generation, a West African family of artists. Their role and mission have always been carrying on news, resolve conflicts, record history in songs and of course preserve music and dance, which are still being used to accompany rituals and ceremonies such as birth, baptism, marriage and death. In the last decades the music of Griots got a lot of attention across the world with the popularization of the 3rd world music. Characteristically for this type of music are the exceptional melodious sounds and the rhythmical motion. The pre-colonial kingdoms of West Africa were very familiar with the Arabian arts, which were then at the same time influencing the European Renaissance music with the development of string musical instruments. The kora can be retuned into the major scale or into the parallel minor scale and includes three and a half octaves. Once the kora only accompanied singing but is nowadays considered as a solo instrument on which all types of music styles can be played as well. SEKOU KOUYATE EXPERIENCE is a musical project that unites the African virtuoso with Slovenian musicians who are actively involved in playing West African music. The result of the project is an energy-packed whole created with the interplay between traditional African music and various jazz, funk rock and reggae sounds with a lot of lyricism. The songs are mostly originals with some arranged traditionals. The Group has performed all over Slovenia on festivals and in clubs in 2011.source PUBLISHING HOUSE GOGA

A brother writes about wenu wetla

No two things can occupy the same space at the same time, at least not in the physical sense they can’t. So then as far as he was concerned no one in the world saw it as he did for no one could ever take his spot on that hill staring down, up and all the way around it. From this he further deduced that no one could listen to its playfulness as it moulds and shapes mysteries; like how exactly it is that the ocean paints the sky blue using the sun as its paint brush.

His ears would always be the instruments by which his soul plays with both celestial and terrestrial vibrations and no one could play the ear better than he did. Such was his being; the wilderness of his self, that his imagination and curiosity was a vast landscape of hidden secretes waiting to be unravelled. It would then only be a matter of time till he would come across the secrets of love.


On the palm of his hands he held it like a gem that glowed with an amber green. He played with it as though a child preoccupied with a star he had gazed at for two whole days, until on the third it fell to the earth only for the satisfaction of the child’s amusement. But soon the stone would be lost to him, and he would have to remember that his love resided in the distant spaces between the earth and his appreciations’ reach to far away galaxies. It would be at this level of wisdom and listening skill that he would move on to join the band of brothers who rested in a still, continuous, static spot of nothing but motion. He found home in their sounds and unclothed himself with the body paint they tossed to their audience. Before they came across him they had already travelled across faraway backdrops of spiritual hills – shaped by winds that whistled through its trees and they played to souls that danced around fires in trans like states. When finally they reached his ears they had to knock down the gate that opened to this dense forest, shaded by treetops that are crowned with multiple sunsets.
The forest bed however had not experienced light for quite some time and so the bandits would be its sun, angled at the forest in a perfect 90-degree angle. They brought with them promises of dispelling witches, only to replace them with their own enchanting incantations of spells that had their magic in being void of magic. Their light was of the violent sort; it dislodged his spirit from its umbilical cord that lynched it to the limitations of the physical. Such was the violence of these dudes, that under the magic charm of their sounds and motions – when his eyes closed they opened to a revolution but when he opened them they closed to a barren land of conventions and how to guides.

As they passed through him – the vast forest – he followed the lingering scent of their sounds and was led to a clearing where in the middle of the ruffled leaves stood an upright door. He went through the door and walked into a rustic old room, walled with unmatched stones and lit by a wild fire fuelled only by its desire to burn. At the centre of the room set around a table himself and an air he could only describe as God, speaking in a dialect familiar but far to ancient for him to decipher, although of course he knew exactly what conversation was being held. Around the table stood the band of brothers who rested in a still, continuous, static spot of nothing but motion. Guitars on their shoulders, drumsticks in their hands and mic’s romantically close to a kiss, they played a silent melody to the rhythm of the cosmic conversation that was under way in front of them. The lead singer noticed him standing at the door and read the amazement on his face, the singers face turned to a child like state as with the enthusiasm of one he exclaimed; “I know right!!!!!!!!”. 

16 minutes later he opened his eyes to a barren land of conventions and how to guides.
