Psychedelic World Music (Special Podcast)




New Sounds from WNYC show

Summary: <p>Listen to world music that veers into psychedelic territory on this New Sounds, with Native-American inspired percussive drone music and Afrobeat from Brazil in music by Bixiga 70. Hear a mix of Afro-Ethiopian rock and jazz from the Brazilian band, Bixiga70, whose name is clearly a nod to the Afrobeat pioneered by Fela Kuti and drummer Tony Allen (with whom Mauricio Fleury from the band studied with.) This brass-heavy sound bounces through boundaries to harvest textures of Guinean and Malian mandingo from Guinea and Mali, soukous from the Congo and ethio-jazz. Also, there’s music from a Chinese string band, Red Chamber, and their pipa, zheng, zhongruan, among other Chinese lutes and zithers. On this tune,"Ah Ya Zein," they accompany oud player Gordon Grdina, and are augmented by all kinds of percussion from other traditions. Then, hear “tribal folkadelia” from Flamingods, with musicians based in London &amp; Bahrain, and operatic trance music from Toronto-based artist, Alexandra Mackenzie, who records under the moniker Petra Glynt. Also, listen to a song from Nathan Bowles, a pounding tribute in percussive drone to the dwindling population of the Nansemond tribe who were part of the Powhatan confederacy in Virginia. Plus, explosive music from the Belgian brass klezmer punk band Kermesz a l'est, and more.</p> <p>PROGRAM #3638, Psychedelic World Music (First aired on 9/17/2014)  </p> <p>ARTIST(S)</p> <p>RECORDING</p> <p>CUT(S)</p> <p>SOURCE</p> <p>Flamingods</p> <p>Hyperborea</p> <p>Vimana, excerpt [1:00]</p> <p>SHAPE 027 <a href="http://www.shaperecords.co.uk/" target="_blank">shaperecords.co.uk</a><a href="http://shaperecords.bandcamp.com/album/hyperborea" target="_blank">shaperecords.bandcamp.com</a> </p> <p>Red Chamber</p> <p>Gathering</p> <p>Ah Ya Zein [7:40]</p> <p><a href="http://www.asza.com/CD-store/RC2.html" target="_blank">www.asza.com</a> </p> <p>Radwan Ghazi Moumneh (Jerusalem in My Heart)</p> <p>Mo7it Al-Mo7it</p> <p>Amanem [8:54]</p> <p>Constellation Records CST093<a href="http://cstrecords.com/jerusalem-in-my-heart/" target="_blank">cstrecords.com</a> Included as part of <a href="https://www.musicworks.ca/reviews/recordings/jerusalem-my-heart-mo7it-al-mo7it" target="_blank">www.musicworks.ca</a>, Summer 2014 Sampler <a href="http://jerusaleminmyheart.com" target="_blank">jerusaleminmyheart.com</a></p> <p>Kermesz a l'est</p> <p>Kermesz a l'est (2014)</p> <p>Zumkind [6:02]</p> <p><a href="http://www.kermeszalest.com/Bio_En.html" target="_blank">www.kermeszalest.com</a></p> <p>Flamingods</p> <p>Hyperborea</p> <p>Vimana [2:32]</p> SHAPE 027 <a href="http://www.shaperecords.co.uk/" target="_blank">shaperecords.co.uk</a><a href="http://shaperecords.bandcamp.com/album/hyperborea" target="_blank">shaperecords.bandcamp.com</a> <p>Petra Glynt</p> <p>Musicworks Summer 2014</p> <p>Of This Land</p> <p><a href="http://petraglynt.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">petraglynt.bandcamp.com</a></p> <p>Nathan Bowles</p> <p>Nansemond</p> <p>The Smoke Swallower [2:38]</p> <p>Paradies of Bachelors 016 <a href="http://www.paradiseofbachelors.com/pob-16" target="_blank">paradiseofbachelors.com</a></p> <p>FatDog</p> <p>New Found Land</p> <p>Halling Etter Sjur Eldegard, excerpt [1:00]</p> <p>Riverboat Records 1087 <a href="http://www.worldmusic.net/store/item/TUG1087" target="_blank">worldmusic.net</a></p> <p>Kronos Quartet</p> <p>Floodplain</p> <p>Tashweesh [3:24]</p> <p>Nonesuch 518349 <a href="http://www.nonesuch.com/">nonesuch.com</a></p> <p>Bixiga 70</p> <p>Ocupai</p> <p>5 Esquinas [4:31]</p> <p><a href="http://www.maisumdiscos.com/artists/bixiga70/" target="_blank">maisumdiscos.com</a></p> <p><a href="http://maisumdiscos.bandcamp.com/album/ocupai" target="_blank">maisumdiscos.bandcamp.com</a></p> <p>Angeli Drake</p> <p>Deghe</p> <p>Spargiani [6:00]</p> <p>Available at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MUZQZU2/ref=dm_ws_sp_ps_dp" target="_blank">Amazon.com</a> or Emusic.com</p>
