GEZAN & Million Wish Collective
ANOCHI (2023)

punk folk fusion japonais taré

premier album de 2023 qui me met une claque, je ne m'attendais pas à ça — difficile de prévoir un disque pareil ! bizarre, fou, bruyant, en engrish, contient des morceaux de cornemuse pour une raison inconnue mais bienvenue. je recommande fortement l'écoute du disque entier : contre toute attente, de la folie qui part dans tous les sens émerge un ensemble cohérent. il s'agit là d'un album au sens propre du terme, dont la somme est plus que les parties.

Est-ce primitif ou futuriste ?
Leur musique parle d'elle-même.

Kibrom Birhane
Here And There (2022)

excellent album de jazz éthiopien moderne
groove profond aux racines jazz spirituel, avec des légers sons funky ici et là. très bon du début à la fin !

[...] Here And There is a conscious exploration and deep dive into the waters of life; complex yet harmonious soundscapes stem from a diverse range of influences across a broad spectrum, ranging from the sacred and profane, to the pioneering and contemporary.
Having absorbed thousand year old Ethiopian orthodox chanting as a child, while expertly acquainting himself with the traditional instruments of the region, Kibrom has focused his diverse musical talents studying past Ethiopian Jazz legends from the 1970s with modern day contemporaries while continuing to reach new depths and discovery.

The Blaxound
El Maravilloso Sonido Instrumental (2022)

album instrumental funk/soul groovy qui porte bien son nom

The Blaxound come from Barcelona and are the project around the insanely talented Marta Roman, who writes all songs herself, produces them in her own home studio and finishes them with the help of great musicians from the local music scene.
Especially hooked on the soundtracks of the Blaxploitation movies of the 60's and 70's she creates her sound and relies on high quality arrangements. The good feeling immediately floats over to you and leaves traces in your auditory canal. With nine mature tracks on their instrumental album The Blaxound shoots itself into the hearts of friends of instrumental funk and soul music.
