Last Sunday was truly incredible. Six of North Carolina and Florida’s most innovative electronic acts all under one roof. The audience stuck around for the whole thing, dancing and cheering to sounds that rarely grace Asheville venues. But there was a noticeable distance between the acts/audience…
New visual accompaniment for Troutman from For People from our great friend Joey Morrissette in Maine.
” 2PPM stands for Two People Playing Music, see? Call it experimental if you will, all I hear are jagged, blissfully disorientating soundscapes. They are obviously two good people, they are giving this to you for free. ” (thanks BCH!)
I’ve become very fond of Malian music recently and I love this track on a warm sunny day. The muted guitar, the uplifting rhythm and chanting. I especially love the second half of this tune and the way the twangy guitar helps shift the song into a joyful dance theme. The transition seems so…
Album text:
Immediately after Mali had become independent, her young generation, through Commissariat a la Jeunesse et aux Sports (Board of Youth and Sports), decided to form a national orchestra. Therefore it appealed to all musicians of the different existing orchestras and especially to their public spirit and patriotism. But this sense of serving their country, this feeling for the public interest, not all of them had it. Invited to regroup in a single body in order to give birth to the national orchestra, many who did not find their costs repaid in this solution preferred to emigrate and to seek their fortune.
So, as you see, the National Orchestra of Mali was born by the meeting of some musicians who have sworn to serve their country by contributing with all their genius to the protection and revalorization of Malian musical art.

“It’s hard to describe exactly what the song sounds like or know where to place it within a style or genre, but I believe with the band’s name, doing such things is beside the point.”
