DR Israel : Patterns Of War

Tuesday 25 November 2008

(2 votes, average: 3.5 out of 5)

Dr Israel is back after three years off !
He comes with a purest sound, less punk and more focused on the rythm sections, but still the same musical way.
Still the same dub and reggae roots, and a dash of hip hop. He even successfully adds tribal sounds.
We love it !

Level 42: Biography

Wednesday 3 October 2007

(1 votes, average: 4 out of 5)

Loading ...

LEVEL 42 was formed in early 1980. The Gould brothers, drummer Phil and guitarist Boon, together with bassist Mark King all came from the Isle of Wight and had played together in various bands during their teenage years. In late 1979 Phil introduced Mark to keyboard player Mike Lindup, a soul mate he had met while studying at London’s Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Mike was studying piano but had taken a course in percussion and he and Phil found that they shared a clutch of musical heroes - such as Miles Davis, John McLaughlin, Keith Jarrett and Jan Hammer. Mark was working in London, but would play regularly with them in loose rehearsal sessions and the arrival of Boon, who had previously traveled with Mark to the states in an ill-fated attempt to be “overnight successes”, was the final piece in the musical jigsaw.

Loading ...

Alpha Blondy de son vrai nom Seydou Koné, né à Dimbokro le 1er janvier 1953, est un chanteur de reggae ivoirien.
Avec Youssou N’Dour, il est sans doute la star internationale la plus populaire de la musique afro/reggae depuis la mort de Bob Marley auquel on le compare souvent, notamment pour son charisme et son engagement. Il chante aussi bien en français, en dioula (langue véhiculaire de l’Afrique de l’Ouest), qu’en anglais. C’est un artiste de scène qui se produit dans le monde entier.
