Franck Biyong and Massak Rhythms of our Memory

Franck Biyong & Massak - Rhythms of our Memory
New Directions In Afro Music - Volume 2
(Limited CD/Download) Colored-Inc. COLI017, 2010-06-21

This is the second 'straight from the vault' recordings from Afrolectric Music, a compilation of Massak's most adventurous music, with limited commercial potential (needless to say)... but, who really cares about that?? Based on the celebrations of the abolition of Slavery in France (that took place only 4 years ago officially...), this music dives deeper inside a 'dark night of the soul' state of mind, while bringing forth new sonic dimensions to this bold free-form Afro Jazz madness. The highlight tracks include fine orchestrations combined with the spirit of (outer space) improvised music. These Rhythms of our memory pay homage to a long time oral tradition: Continuity in spontaneity...

Malachi Farrell (brother of Liam Farrell alias Doctor L) was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1970, raised in Paris, and lives and works in NY.

Malachi Farrell's work can be seen summer as the part of the Dreamlands exhibition at the Centre Georges Pompidou with the installation Nothing Stops a New Yorker, created this year during Farrell's residency in NY at Triangle Arts Workshop, DUMBO, Brooklyn and funded through the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and AFAA (Association Française d'Action Artistique).

Franck Biyong & Massak - Visions of Kamerun (COLI011) out June 7th 2010

Published on Monday 07 June 2010 · 15:01 · By Djouls

Franck Biyong and Massak Visions Of Kamerun

Franck Biyong & Massak - Visions of Kamerun
New Directions In Afro Music - Volume 3
(Limited CD/Download) Colored-Inc. COLI011, 2010-06-07

Recorded in Cameroon, this Afrolectric 9-tracker - with 9 spoken interludes of some selected elders' wisdom - tells the history and the links of a Southern country with Europe, with an interrogative and perplexed glance over the present state of things.

Mixed by Grant Phabao in Paris, Visions Of Kamerun gathers African harmonies, delicate traditional percussions, subtle afro-jazz drummings, delicious minimal guitar riffs, the tropically powerful Massak horn section, with soulful vocals from Franck Biyong, Sandra NKaké and Gladys Gambie.

Defining a salutary musical movement called Nuevo Afropean Jazz, with a solid, deeply sincere emotional core, the album balances equally between Jazz exploration, rhythmic vivacity, Soul depth and cultural immersion.

Doctor L - Land-Escape (COLI005) out may 31st 2010

Published on Monday 31 May 2010 · 00:07 · By Djouls

Doctor L - Land-Escape
(Download/Limited CD) Colored-Inc. COLI005, 2010-05-31

In those troubled times, where the world goes upside down, we do need good medecine to cure our sorrows... Hopefully the good Doctor is back with a new remedy, a full LP set untitled Land-Escape.

Some may call it ambient jazz, some others avant-garde or contemporary, the music you're about to hear is the result of hours of rehearsals and musical 'rencontres' at Doctor L's studio. It's free and improvised music with attitude, definitely different and personnal stuff, uncompromised yet popular, one for the road or for your living room, a great combination of live sounds and studio wizardry.
