Back in the days when I started to explore beyond the black music I
used to love at this time, I soon discovered that I enjoyed latin funk, a
lot, and Mongo Santamaria was in the cut. This cuban born congero and
rumbero played in New York with a lot of big names of his time. He
composed beautiful tunes and covered a lot of R'n'B and Soul winners in a
latin style. This selection features a lot of genres, in a
chronological sort of way : latin-jazz, boogaloo, latin-soul,
latin-funk, latin-disco and guaguanco. i hope you'll enjoyRenaud BELIAHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00835928897113845142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531531328319857955.post-10457184246735088702016-04-20T03:17:00.000-07:002016-04-20T03:17:41.884-07:00Babaliah loves USSR<iframe frameborder="0" height="120" src="https://www.mixcloud.com/widget/iframe/?feed=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mixcloud.com%2FBabaliah%2Fbabaliah-loves-ussr%2F&hide_cover=1&light=1" width="100%"></iframe>

Here is a selection of rare vinyl records from USSR from the vaults of Melodya. Back in the 70's, if someone from the
west could have had an accurate look (and listen) through the iron
curtain, he would have gotten a big musical surprise. Although the
idea of cultural development in the soviets was highly connected with
the idea of lack of freedom, although the only musical style that
seemed to emerge from USSR was the Red Army choirs, modern music was
very healthy there, and it was, by many ways, even more "western"
oriented than in western Europe. By Western, I mean Black!!!At the
time, Jazz, Soul, Funk and even Tropical was having a golden age in
Russia, Georgia, Azerbadjian, Armenia and other regions of the USSR.
The reason why is both complex and simple : primarily, listenning to
this music and playing it was allowed and that's the main reason. But
we can consider other facts :
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
-This genres perfectly matched the high
versatility of classical infused musicians, composers and big band
conductors/arrangers</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
-Black music from the USA was more
considered as the music of a dominated people than imperialist propaganda.<br />
-The cultural links and exchanges with african and latin american countries wes very tight. There was even a relationship between the USSR and some revolutionnary / protester groups from the United States amoung which the US Communist Party and the Black Panthers.<br />
-The youth, just as in any place in the world at this time, was in demand for party/freedom music and took no time to enjoy the dancing rythms<br />
-The folk heritage in rural soviets was about rythm, emotion, musical skills, voices and dance. That's what the musicians and the listeners found in Jazz, Soul and Funk!<br />
<br />
To highlight the sampling potential, the intro is live edited with my old DJM 400.. I hope you'll enjoy as much as I did.</div>

Fondateur du collectif Palmwine Records qui
inonde la région Rhône-Alpes de grooves tropicaux depuis 10 ans,
Renaud BELIAH alias Babaliah creuse les musiques du monde depuis
toujours. Collectionneur et DJ, il est spécialisé dans les musiques
noires des 60's et 70's mais explore volontiers d'autres espaces
culturels. Enseignant et conférencier, il a mis au point un cycle de
conférences musicales pour le grand public titré « L'Age d'Or
des Rythmes Noirs ». Il est aussi pionnier en pédagogie, grâce
à une vision transversale des programmes pour construire un
enseignement universel, interdisciplinaire, explicite et
individualisé. Beatmaker également, il produit des morceaux et des
remixs pour le dancefloor urbain actuel. Pour la deuxième édition
de ce nouveau rendez-vous « Disques et Culture » dédié
aux musiques de l'âge d'or de tous les continents, il propose une
confécoute sur l'Europe de l'Est : armé de deux platines vinyles,
d'un micro et d'un diaporama, il nous fera découvrir les musiques
produites en Europe de l'Est pendant les années 60 et 70 avec un
éclairage
historique et musicologique. Le voyage musical passera par les musiques
traditionnelles, le jazz, le jazz-funk, mais aussi par la soul, la funk
le rock psyché et la disco. Tout cela pris sur des disques vinyls
originaux deYougoslavie, de Pologne, de Tchécoslovaquie et d'URSS, mais
aussi de Bulgarie, de Hongrie de Roumanie ou d'Allemagne de l'Est...La
confécoute sera suivie d'une

My 60's serie goes further with a selection dedicated to Sega. This
exotic music from the indian ocean kept its name during years although
it changed a lot since its birth. in the 60's, the swaying rhythm of
sega was often played by subtile percussions and the creole melodies
were often mixed with jazzy arrangments. just like the Biguine in
Guadeloupe and Martinique, early sega was influenced both buy the
african rythms and colonial music from old europe like Mazurka. The
selection here contents nice pieces of sega, including somr really jazzy
ones, recorded in the 60's, from "la réunion", Maurice (Mauritius) and
Madagascar, as some of the musical exchanges in the Indian Ocean gave
the opportunity to some musicians from Madagascar to play sega... The
selection highlights the work of the likes of Mr Jerry " Sega Nelson,
Franckie Hart, Roger Clency, Loulou Pitou, Luc Donat or freddy
Ranarison.I hope you'll enjoy! Renaud BELIAHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00835928897113845142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531531328319857955.post-42949524375661027182016-03-28T05:54:00.000-07:002016-03-29T05:58:50.842-07:00Babaliah loves Madikera 1 ( Calypso)<br />

As some of you already know, Madikera is a double word, or "Mot-valise"
as we say in french, composed with Madinina, the original name of
Martinique and Karukera, the original name of Guadeloupe. This first
selection dedicated to those two french departments, more often called
"Les Antilles", focuses on a little know side of their music. Calypso
wass THE big musical phenomenon in non spanish caribbean music back in
the 40's. The social and political commentaries of rural callypsonians,
and the Jazz-big-band-esque arrangements of urban calypso made their way
to the world, especcialy in west Africa to participate to the birth of
Highlife. But also to the neighbouring french speaking Islands! and a
lot of calypso tracks were recorded in the late 50's and early 60's by
musicians and singers from both Martinique and Guadeloupe! Sung in
french créole! Here are some of them. On rare early 60's records from
the likes of Debs, Maison des merengues, Aux ondes, Karukera...I hope
you will enjoy!Renaud BELIAHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00835928897113845142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531531328319857955.post-42975210611683268102016-03-07T12:35:00.003-08:002016-03-29T05:54:31.387-07:00Babaliah sort des disques <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

During the last 15 years, beeing a hardcore record seeker in the flea
markets, I've put my hand on dozens of 45's from former Yugoslavia. Some
of them were cheesy ballroom music with no big interest as far as I was
concerned. Some other were modern grooves mixing pop, rock, jazz, funk
with the traditionnal background. Some other were really tasty
traditionnal grooves that I learned to love after hours of listenning,
trying to sort the ones I was going to keep or not. Interculturality and
interethnicity are part of former Yugoslavia. And it seems that it
can't be denied by the musical production. Some people helped me to know
which track or musician belongs to which ethnic group. Partly in vain.
This selection is an ode to interculturality which features syncopated,
and even really oriental tracks alongside offbeat accentuated, balkanic
rythms. The footprint of the ottoman Empire is deep. It's my first
journey into Europe and traditionnal music. I hope you'll enjoy as much
as I am!Renaud BELIAHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00835928897113845142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531531328319857955.post-28707432253009974772016-02-13T07:48:00.003-08:002016-02-13T07:52:58.809-08:00Disques et Culture # 1 : SPECIAL TURQUIE / Le Sucre / Lyon / Vendredi 26 Février 2016<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For my first Beninese selection ( it will soon be followed by 3 other
ones), I tried to focus on the latin side of 70's Beninese Music. The 2
opening tracks are 2 different versions of "Gendamou Si we" (Policeman's
wife-La femme du Gendarme), a great example of "Pach Fon" which was a
really famous style at this time : Pachanga sung in Fon (Fongbe). The
lovely track is played in 2 slighly different ways by Orchestre
Polyrythmo and is featured on two lovely 45's on the mighty LA Aux
écoutes Label. The selection also highlights the latin work of one of
the greatest african latin legend, who was influenced by both Benny More
and Charles Aznavour : the great Gonnas Pedro! At the time he recorded a
serie of LP's with His Djadjes band. Finishing with lovely "La Musica
en Vérité"!

Since I started to try and collect vinyl records from a large array of
cultural spaces around the globe, I've had a couple of big surprises.
The music of Turkey's 70's has been one of the biggest ones. So modern,
so funky, so psychedelic and yet sofaithfull to its roots!! As usual the
tracks you will discover in this selection are not taken on
compilations or re-edits, although I am sure that some of the tracks
here have been reedits by labels doing a wonderfull job... Electric Saz,
Mad darbukas, sometimes Davul or Zurna, Big Breaks, sick Hiphop
samples...the list of the discoveries is long for the ones who do not
know yet how it's like to listen to Turkish Spych. For the others, I
hope the selection will be good enough to please the good connoisseurs.

For my first journey into colombian music, I offer you some musical heat
that I've found amazing since I first met it about 15 years ago, as one
friend of mine came back from Latin America with a few cd's and let a
few of us have a listen, and then a copy... Cumbia is one of the most
important syles in the african diaspora. Easy to blend with hip hop,
reggae, ska or eastern brassbands, Cumbia has became a DJ tool, but for
me it will always be a music from the rrots. Here you will here several
cumbias, but also gaïtas, porros, fandangos, merecumbes,... the number
of ruthms in Colombia is outstanding and it's quite difficult for me to
even know the rythm when I hear it. But I love the jazz arrangments of
porro, the wild percussive rythm section of the cumbias, the highly
melodic themes of the gaïtas, and the brassband power of the fandangos!
Ramon Vargas, Lucho Bermudez, Climaco Sarmiento, La Sonora Curro, Pedro
Laza, los Corraleros de Majagual and others take part to the
journey...Hot!<br />

Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey is one of the most renowned Juju musician.
Juju is a very modern musical styles from Nigeria and takes its musical
roots in the Yoruba rythm tradition and chants. The multilayered guitar
lines are calling and answering in a really original way. Ebenezer Obey
seems to be a very innovative Juju musician, whose music, sometimes
psychedelic, sometimes more deep, can be influenced by other musical
styles, among which afrobeat, which is not unexpectable. But Obey also
used somtimes the Blues scales and chords, and even latin rythms... I
tried to show this diversity and modernity in this selection.

Ry-Co Jazz is one of my favorite bands. It started its carreer in Congo
and takes its name from the french "Rythme Congolais Jazz". In the Mid
60's, after extensive sessions in Paris, they were invited to Martinique
and Guadeloupe for a little tour, but this tour happened to be 3 years
years long, and it tottally changed the musical lendscape of these
french islands, adding a deep west-african twist to the biguine rooted
sound. Even with the influence of the neighbouring latin music and
haitian compas direct/cadence rempa, The musical style called Tumbélé
would'nt have really been the same without Ry-Co Jazz... Here are my
favorite tracks from the band, mostly on 7 inches records, with rumbas,
merengues, tumbélés, buiguine and impossible to describe afro-carribean
UFO's...Alors, est-ce que tu bois beaucoup?Renaud BELIAHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00835928897113845142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531531328319857955.post-33439368477641637762016-02-13T01:39:00.002-08:002016-02-13T01:39:37.538-08:00Special Mix to Promote "Afrotropical Party #2" <iframe frameborder="0" height="120" src="https://www.mixcloud.com/widget/iframe/?feed=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mixcloud.com%2FBabaliah%2Fafrotropical-party%2F&hide_cover=1" width="100%"></iframe>

"Afro Tropical Party" set up by Kalakuta Prod. I've recorded this mix to
promote the party on their Radio Show. It features 2 funky tracks at
the begining (look at the tracklist to be surprised) and then rare
bouncing winners from Kenya, Sao Tome, Angola, Guinée Bissau, Cabo
Verde... And A smoking Porro at the end!

Jazz is a part of life. As a personnal musical background and as an
everyday listenning pleasure. This selection is the first of a "Jazz"
serie. It's hard to know the limits of the music called Jazz. So I gave
no limit... I hope you'll enjoy. The (Bonus) is made of two long tracks
taken from the same LP's as the opening and the closing tracks...Renaud BELIAHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00835928897113845142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531531328319857955.post-78242113869788599582016-02-13T01:34:00.001-08:002016-02-13T01:34:13.213-08:00Vodkakoka / Babaliah au MellotronInvité pour la soirée à Paris par <a href="https://fr-fr.facebook.com/vodkakoka" target="_blank">Vodkakoka</a>, on en a profité pour aller faire l'apéro au <a href="http://www.lemellotron.com/" target="_blank">Mellotron</a>, un vrai lieu de vie réelle avec une énorme rayonance virtuelle, où les boissons et la nourriture sont excellentes, mais surtout où la sélection musicale est aussi pointue qu’éclectique.

This is a Remix of "Cobra" a great tune from Antony Joseph and the spasm band's last album.<br />
Released on a special record store day 12 inches on the great Heavenly Sweetness label.<br />
From
the oriinal track I kept the voice and some flute loops, the rest is
the kind of afro latin beat I like to built....with a lot of respect for
this beautiful and psychedelic poetry, which I tried to emphasize.
HOT!!!<br />

About twenty years ago I've played alto saxophone in a band called
Mellow Mood. We played 50's and 60's jamaïcan ska and rocksteady. Some
classics and some caribbean jazz covers of soul, bossa nova and jazz
classics. The short selection here is mostly made of 45's, some Blue
Beat ones, some white label ones... In the landscape of "Tropical" or
"Black" music, Ska has had a particular place. In my "musical history"
too. I now consider this soulfull and jazzy music from one really rich
Island from the big antilles as a really good example of early
independant and modern african rooted music... Enjoy!Renaud BELIAHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00835928897113845142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531531328319857955.post-77213974402227522312016-02-13T00:35:00.003-08:002016-02-13T00:35:28.965-08:00Babaliah Loves Madagascar<iframe width="100%" height="120" src="https://www.mixcloud.com/widget/iframe/?feed=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mixcloud.com%2FBabaliah%2Fbabaliah-loves-madagascar%2F&hide_cover=1" frameborder="0"></iframe>

<br />
If you don't know much about music from Madagascar and think it's the
same as music from Réunion or Mauritius, you could be surprised by this
selection : First by the level of modernity in these recordings,
although some of them were made in the 60's, then by the diversity of
genres. The first genre highlighted here is very close to Kenyan Benga,
with a strong "kick" beat. You will aslo listen to psychedelic sSalegy,
to old school electric Salegy and even one Sega, one slow soulfull
groove and one traditional folk track... You will soon discover that the
records I used for this selection are not mint ones, Lot of surface
noise and clicks, but I thought it would fit perfectly with this raw
music...

<br />
I've been digging further for this one... Whereas my selection at this
point always focus on the african diasporas, this new psychedelic trip
starts in England and ends in India. At school, when we talk about
continents, I always discuss with the children why Europe and Asia are
considered as two entities. Is the border cultural? Well, let's "cross
the bridge" : folk funk from England, Electric folk from Occitanie, Dark
R'n'R from Malta, Break Pop from Yugoslavia, Psychedelic Belly Dance,
Soulfull grooves Raw Funk and Oriental Disco from Greece, Turkey,
Lebanon, Israël, Armenia and India. Buidling slowly but really
addictive!!! I hope you'll enjoy this new exploration of my record
collection. Vintage vinyls only!Renaud BELIAHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00835928897113845142noreply@blogger.com
