Luvely artwork & sound. The Mike Nock Underground.



The Mike Nock Underground "The Squire"

DOROTHY ASHBY

I really enjoy the way this harp player's tracks sounds. Bass & Drum parts are so heavy, food for thoughts with such a mystic vibe. "Moving Finger" is from the Cadet 1970 "The Rubaiyat of Dorothy Ashby" and "Cause I need it" (1969) from "Dorothy's Harp", and was sampled by Pete Rock.

SOUL OF ANGOLA

Based on traditional rythms and dances (Kazukuta, rebita, kabetula, semba), the urban angolan music of the late 60's / early 70's period were born from a strong desire to oppose a cultural resistance to the colonial portugese power. Music was actually the only way of soft protest. Artur Nunes, known as "the Spiritualist" because of his voice, was one of those freedom fighters; "Tia" became a standard of angolan music.

NEW YORK - ADDIS - LONDON

Everyone knows Mulatu since the man came back with a new album with the moody Heliocentrics crew on the Strut label. The same label presents now the man's old works (1965 / 1975) recording in NY, London and Ethiopia. The track "I Faram" is a winner with a salsa like flavor. Find more about ethiopic music with the unique Francis Falceto's Ethipoiques collection, on the Buda label. Crucial records Sir !

BROWN SKIN LADY

A message from Mos Def : "She's like Flack, Nina, Ella... It's heavy, vibrational music..She's like J.Dilla, she makes her own beats, she rhymes, she sings, and she plays... people going to get their minds blown when they hear Georgia Anne Muldrow."

Blundetto goes : "Damn right Mos !"
