Ibeyi - Made of Gold feat. Pa Salieu (Official Music Video)
‘Made of Gold’ feat. Pa Salieu out now on XL Recordings: https://ibeyi.ffm.to/madeofgold
On le fait?
Make sure they hear us
Feel it
We are the anger and the hunger.
Dale!
Holy Water
Crying at the altar
Ignite your desire
Freedom for the mire, mire
Fire
Burning at the altar
Rewriting sacred scripture
So we could be together, together
My Spell made of Gold, Gold, Gold
Meet me at the altar
Prayer
Kneeling at the altar
Gathering our power
Heat is getting higher, higher
I have dreams
My Forefather told me « Complete mission now »
They ain’t really broke us
They can never make our story now
My soul shows them passion
Your history walks through them golden lines
Your blood carries Diamonds
When they thought they cleared that spirit away
We are the reincarnation.
My Spell made of Gold, Gold, Gold
Meet me at the altar
You know that it’s good, you know that it’s good for you
My Spell made of Gold, Gold, Gold
Meet me at the altar
Oh you with a spine, who would work your mouth against this Magic of mine
It has been handed down in an unbroken line
The sky encloses the stars, I enclose Magic
I enclose Magic

LISTWAR ZANSET - Small Island Big Song ft. Emlyn & Putad
"Our voices silenced, our songs and languages banned, the land lost its custodians."
'Listwar Zanset' draws from the heart of Emlyn, a song inspired from the story of maroon slaves of Mauritius; the untold heroes of the slavery on her island. When slaves were brought to work in the cane fields, their singing was silenced, in turn their culture disconnected. Emlyn hums in solidarity with her ancestors, building to an overwhelming crescendo… meeting Putad from the Amis people of Taiwan, the two together reclaiming their identity, that was hidden and repressed by colonization and slavery.
Selina Leem joins them sharing the core focus of the song, “their people displaced, their land taken, my land, drowning” highlighting the affect of the sea levels rising, forcing her people to leave their ancestral land.
'Listwar Zanset' unites the Indo-Pacific, a vast regions sharing similar pasts, histories and current climate consequences.

_____LYRICS _____
Emlyn - Originally in Creole Mauritian
Sometimes I wander
How it was back then
In chains for days and nights
We will remember all the braves that wanted to be
They fought for us to be free today
Wanting to be free
They fought for us to be free today
Putad - Originally in Amis of Taiwan
Such a beautiful place. They took it away.
“What are you saying?” “I don’t understand” Learn our language.
Even at the end we have nothing left
I believe the land and ocean will protect us
We are going to be part of Kawas
Selina Leem - Originally in Marshallese & English
The ancestors
Our islands/lands
Land
Their people displaced,
Their lands taken,
My lands, drowning

Mamak Khadem Official Video feat. Chris Martin "Across The Oceans"
Poetry of Maulana Jalāl ad-Dīn Rūmī,
Translated by Coleman Barks
If you want to be a lover, give up
trying to figure the odds
on what you should do next.
Be a moth! Dive off the cliff!
Become the fearless flame.
Tear down your house.
Live with lovers. Wash your heart
of any anger. Wash it seven times!
Be the wineglass. Toast with yourself!
You are the wineglass. Toast with yourself!
You are the wineglass; The wine here
is love. This love

Makonda is taken from Montparnasse Musique's debut self-titled EP, and features Kinshasa band Konono No1. It will be released on limited edition neon orange vinyl on 14th January 2022.
Filmed on the streets of Kinshasa by award-winning documentary filmmaker Renaud Barret (Systeme K, Benda Bilili!), the music video offers a glimpse of the Congolese capital city’s unique street art movement — a fitting visual accompaniment to the sound of Montparnasse Musique, which connects the acoustic grit of traditional Africa with the pulse of modern Johannesburg through collaborations with Congotronics innovators such as Konono No1 and Kasai Allstars.
Featured in the video are members of the Bakoko collective, a group of fashion designers who combine their unique art with body performance. In their weekly ghetto catwalks, the performers pay homage to the Congo’s famous La Sape movement, representing it in a brand-new way.
The costumes are inspired by the ancient Kingdom of Kongo — the Bakoko collective’s interpretation of an era for which there is very little documented evidence. The garments are exclusively made of bamboo and Mayaka seeds (a plant particularly associated with the area of Lake Mai Ndombe, in the western part of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The name ‘Bakoko’ means ‘spirit of the ancestors’, and the collective’s primary creators Arnold Mbo and Pipiyu see their creations as a political statement, and part of a process of de-alienation. They urge Congolese youth to reconnect with ancient spiritual values instead of diving into heavy consumerism and imported spirituality of the ever-growing Evangelical churches. Their work is also dedicated to great historical figures of the Congolese rebellion against colonisation such as Maman Kimpa Vita and Simon Kimbangu.
Lyrically ‘Makonda’ conveys the message that ‘man is all alone in the face of life and death’. It features the first new music from acclaimed Kinshasa-based band Konono No1 since 2016, with frontman Menga Waku.

Letra:
Soy discreta, pintoresca
Enigmática en la fiesta
Soy cazadora de desamores
Y a veces soy rompe corazones
Soy una deuda de dos patas
Pero con el mínimo soy mágica
Frívola, mística, soy paradoja científica
Si me caigo, me levanto
Me quito el polvo
me quito el fango
Tengo una amiga que no me falla
Y unas otras cuantas que ya no aguantan
Soy lunatica y demente
Cuando suena un buen merengue
Y si me miro al espejo
Me digo: ¡Uy qué linda!
Yo soy really, really bombón
Yo soy really, really bombón
Yo soy really, really bombón
Really Bombón, really bombón
(x2)
Shala lala lalala
shala lala lalala
shala lala lalala
Really Bombón, really bombón
(x2)
Talla sube, talla baja
mi cintura hace acrobacia
tengo un cuerpo singular
y siempre me resbala el qué dirán
Soy matemática analista
Computadora futurista
Creo en fantasmas y extraterrestres
y si la tierra es plana no me sorprende
Auténtica, excepcional
Soy un fenómeno paranormal
para divertirme profesional
vivo a mi manera
sin igual
Soy lunatica y demente
Cuando suena un buen merengue
Y si me miro al espejo
Me digo: Uy qué linda!
Yo soy really, really bombón
Yo soy really, really bombón
Yo soy really, really bombón
Really Bombón, really bombón
(x2)
Shala lala lalala
shala lala lalala
shala lala lalala
Really Bombón, really bombón
(x2)
Sin igual, sin igual
Auténtica
Sin igual, sin igual
inédita
Sin igual, sin igual
excepcional
Sin igual, sin igual
Singular
Uy qué linda!
(x4)
Si me caigo, me levanto
Me quito el polvo
me quito el fango
Tengo una amiga que no me falla
Y unas otras cuantas que ya no aguantan
Soy lunática y demente
Cuando suena un buen merengue
Y si me miro al espejo
Me digo: Uy qué linda

LYRICS
Verse 1
when I get a dog I’ll still name him ‘Bear’
Might still move to Brighton even if you’re not there
Life don’t stop living because you left
Guess I’ll keep our dreams alive…
Chorus
For the both of us
Verse 2
When I get the chance I’ll meet Gregory Porter,
And drag my new man along though he probably won’t want to
He won’t get
The sentiment
I’ll just keep our dreams alive..
Chorus
Outro
We wanted all the things
Ended up with nothing

Hey Mama - Emmanuel Jal feat. Check B || OFFICIAL VIDEO
A Journey to South Sudan...
"Hey Mama is a song for us to imagine our future in a positive way and how we can be part of the solution." - Emmanuel Jal
Sticking to his message of peace, love and unity in his home country of South Sudan, Emmanuel Jal releases “Hey Mama” an Afro pop record that pays homage to his motherland and it’s rich cultural diversity. Jal collaborates with Juba’s Check B, a young activist who was wounded as a chid in the war and who also uses the arts to promote a positive future for young people.
Together they sing, "South Sudan is my mother, tribalism has no place, languages don’t discriminate, we are all equal, no war, love is our cure.” The single is picked from Jal's up & coming studio album titled - Shangah. Remixes will also be released in December 2021, through Kenyan based record label Gondwana Ke from South African producers Da Capo and Black Motion, Kenyan DJs SURAJ and Euggy and Moroccan based Dj/Producer Fnx Omar with more to come! The video directed by acclaimed Kenyan Director Enos Olik and sponsored by the ethical footwear brand Twins for Peace takes Emmanuel and friends on a road trip across the country as it name checks the different regions and towns dotted across South Sudan with the visuals celebrating the beautiful textured culture of South Sudan and its people.
Hey Mama is the first single off Emmanuel's upcoming album 'Shangah' which will be released in May 2022.

THE BUTTSHAKERS - Hear Me
The rewind button brings the tape back several times and, with it, The
Buttshakers. From the tape to the studio, the décor changes to an America
lost in its own reverie, the America that Ciara Thompson left in 2008 to
settle in Lyon, France. Untethered from the idealistic veil of her childhood,
this America, her America, now appears in its crudest reality: disfigured
by violence and racism, the streets transformed into a make-shift shelter
for those without a home.

COUPLET 1:
Like a bad dream
Your love is getting me down
And I can’t help it
Oh no
They tried to tell me
But I couldn’t see
No I couldn’t hear the sound
REFRAIN:
Can you hear the sound?
Hear me!
COUPLET 2:

Your love is so unreal
We’re going faster and faster
Around the bend
This spells disaster
When I’m looking to the end.
REFRAIN:
Can you hear the sound?
Hear me!
OUTRO:
Oh baby hear me!
Hear me!
Oh baby hear me!
Talkin to you right now.
Oh and you’re talking and you’re talking
Talking, talking all night long.
