Black CowBoys
Black CowBoys

Black Cowboys : trois chanteurs-compositeurs qui explosent les barrières musicales et fabriquent une toute nouvelle et fascinante excitation musicale. Avec des influences flirtant de Van Morrison et Nick Drake à Parliament et Sly Stone, ils sillonnent depuis 6 mois les nuits parisiennes et alentours où ils sont maintenant bien repérés. Ils enregistrent leur premier album et gageons que vous serez d'accord à l'écoute de ce son ultra chaud: ce ne sera pas seul!
Free your mind, écoute le son des Black CowBoys!

Kiala Nzavotunga (Lagos – Nigeria) : guitare, voix
Des clubs enfumés et enflammés de Lagos aux quais de la Seine en passant par New York et Los Angeles, les souvenirs tenaces collent à la peau. Cette flamme entretenue et ravivée par Kiala, pionnier des Ghetto Blaster (1984 - 2006) et fidèle compagnon d'armes de Fela (1981 - 1983), avec lequel il "croisa le fer" à la guitare au sein des Fela & Africa 70, n'aura pas mis longtemps pour remettre le feu aux poudres. Kiala, le punch, le groove, l'insolente énergie... Le souffle ardent de l'afrobeat est toujours là, vivant et vibrant.

Allonymous (Chicago – USA) : voix
Groovy jusqu'au bout des gros orteils, Alan Conway de son vrai nom met son corps et sa voix au service de la mémoire de ses ancêtres afro-cubains et américains. On a déjà pu l'écouter aux côtés de Jimi Tenor, The Cinematic Orchestra, Cody Chesnutt ou Keziah Jones. Plus expressif qu'un toon de Tex Avery, plus sexuel que Marvin Gaye, plus charitable que l'Abbé Pierre, Allonymous le poète de Chicago va vous emmener loin, très loin.

Black Magic Hard 2 Find Vol 3
Black Magic - Hard 2 Find Vol.5
(Download/Limited CD) Colored-Inc. COLI019, 2010-12-20

An artistic revolution has been ongoing these recent years in Paris, with some unique producers breathing new life into the idea of jazz music, upping the standards of sound and production to those of the masters - Miles Davis, Lee Perry, Fela Kuti, Sun Ra, Traffic and the such...

From the message-intense material, impressionistic soundscapes and folk musings of Doctor L to the dancefloor-filling cosmic afro and soulful roots reggae vibes of Grant Phabao, the Colored-Inc. collective has managed to create a solid universe, showcasing the many facets of the jazz spectrum in the shape of a free-minded label, undoubtly this year's most ambitious one.

Black Magic is their fifth experience in cooperative expression, a voodoo-themed concept album of music suitable for the dancefloor or the living room, a fresh wave of Jazz, Soul, Afro & Reggae production, untangling the scribble of the wicked world with clarity and maturity, and bringing Paris back to its rightful place, the cultural center of the world.

The Drug Store - Hard 2 Find Vol.4 (COLI009) out september 6th 2010 171

The Drug Store Hard 2 Find Vol 3
The Drug Store - Hard 2 Find Vol.4
(Download/Limited CD) Colored-Inc. COLI009, 2010-09-06

The Drug Store is the first venture for the Colored-Inc. label into Psychedelic Folk & Rock vibes. Blending Nigerian harmonies with American Folk and Jazz, Reggae chants with Stoner Rock and Hip Hop beats or Nyabinghi percussions, freaky electronics with Afrobeat or deep poetry, James Bond-like arrangements with 21st century Chicago Soul, and inviting some famous Zulu Nation King & MC to a deep garage-blues session, this is indeed a kind of a Multi-Colored Thing, a nearly hallucinatory record pushing the Colored-Inc. label's identity towards more edgy forms of African, Carribean and Afro-American music.

Production duties by Erik Rug (3), Doctor L (1,4,6,8,10), and Grant Phabao (2,5,7,9), with star guesting Amayo from the Fu-Arkist-Ra and Allonymous (USA), Kiala Nzavotunga and Tony Allen (from Nigeria), The Jays (from Jamaica), Le Damn Dog, Kactus Hunters, The Joslyns and The Farell Girls (from Paris)

Full of impertinent innovative energy, Kiala blows the afrobeat burning breath. Alive and kicking! Here are acoustic takes on a traditional American gospel and a Fela classic...
