Interview: Q&A with UJI – How To Be Human (October 2022)

Early in October, the Argentinian electronic music producer and ethnomusicologist Uji (Luis Maurette) shared “Lunay”, giving us a glimpse of a harmonious, calming landscape made of flowing waters, motionless bodies and capturing vocals. The track is the final single taken from Uji’s upcoming album, TIMEBEING, which will be released on...

Event Preview & Playlist: Hermeto Pascoal @ Jazz Cafe (London; Monday, 31st October 2022)

That’s because Hermeto Pascoal has never put any limit to his creativity and musicianship and just like Brazilian music, his...

Interview: Son Rompe Pera – Blood, Sweat & Psychobilly (September 2022)

Son Rompe Pera electrified a sleepy Sunday tent at Womad this year; their high-energy cumbia-punk kicked off an early afternoon tropical dance party. Thrash marimba and infectious rhythms punctuated by searing guitar and wild yells drove a dazed crowd into a joyful frenzy. The band’s passion for the new-from-old sound...

Interview: Pascuala Ilabaca – ‘If They Call Us Doves, How Can They Not See Our Wings?’ (September 2022)

Pascuala Ilabaca wants us to take heed, as she responds to traditional Andean folks songs with a fierce feminist voice. Now she tells us, it is the time to respond to an old rhetoric. Misogyny has no place in the future of her Chilean culture. Her new production Por Qué Se...

Interview: Q&A with Alex Figueira – Tropical Instru-Mentalist (August 2022)

We don’t know if a biography of Alex Figueira will ever be published, but if it is, it’s arguably going to be such an intricate, complex and of course, interesting work that its author will eventually end up on the Booker Prize shortlist. Jokes apart, to recall, discern and write...

Event Review: WOMAD Festival @ Charlton Park (Malmesbury, Wiltshire; Thursday 28th to Sunday 31st July 2022)

After a 3 year wait, and returning on its 40th anniversary, to say there was anticipation around Womad ’22 would be a vast understatement. The line-up played it safe in some respects, with old favourites looming large; but there were bright spots of new musical energy, hungrily met by pent-up...

Interview: The Maghreban – Pieces of the Continent (August 2022)

The Maghreban. Even the name had enough air of mystery about it that you could be forgiven thinking this was the new alter ego of Hussein Sherbini or Maga Bo. The first 15 seconds of ‘Eddies’, the intro of the debut album 01DEAS released on R&S, only confirmed the impression. Not...
