*****

BIKUT-SI:

The Bikut-si is a traditional, rootsy and brutal musical style and dance of the Beti ethnic group, from Center and South of Cameroon, that has evolved into one of Cameroon’s most popular forms of cultural expression

The word bikut-si means in Ewondo "beat of the earth" (bi is a mark of the plural, kut means beating and si means earth).

 Bikut-si music is historically rooted in the cultural traditions of the Beti people. [...] The Beti have historically inhabited villages spread throughout the equatorial forest region surrounding urban Yaoundé, and further South into neighboring Equatorial Guinea.
[...]
 Bikut-si is characterized by its intense and instantly recognizable 6/8 pounding rhythm.
It’s a beat that grabs you, grooves you, and finally overpowers you into stomping your feet rhythmically to the beat. Once you’ve heard it, it is forever impossible to mistake bikut-si for any other Central African music style. [...]

from: 'A History of Bikutsi music in Cameroon'
by Hortense & Charles Fuller

Since the start of the 80s, John’s been playing African and Latin music in clubs and on radio.

He formed Ashanti with Congolese music specialist Martin Sinnock and they launched a regular weekly radio show. With Latin music pals, John opened a very successful weekly club called The Salsa Party which ran for 6 years, and in 2002 got together with Guy Morley to create AfroBase.

To coincide with their launch of a Friday club night at the Volks on Brighton’s seafront, they created the radio show in early 2004 which is still available on Brighton’s Juice 107.2 and on totallyradio.com. John continues to present the programme every week along with special guests.

Y11W46 .LA SECONDE MÉTHODE - DAH MA SÉMÉ.

Accompanied by his n'goni, a small harp, Abaye Adam Abakar, from Tchad, has traveled for a long time around the African and European continent as a singer and storyteller. 

It was in Toulouse that he meets Nicolas Lafourest, guitarist of 'Cannibales et Vahinés', with whom he formed the band 'La Seconde Méthode'.

 The quartet offers a music melting African tradition, trance, rock and noise.

Check 'Dah Ma Sémé'

Y11W45 .KUNGOBRAM - PAS DE CHAUFFAGE.

KUNGOBRAM is a mixture of near and far 

made of back and forth between Paris and Bamako where five musicians come together to engage in dialogue mixing jazz, urban music and West African style.

Thereby they offers an original work based on two driving principles: rhythm and energy. 

The result is surprising, unusual, exciting, sometimes quiet and meditative.

Check 'Pas de chauffage'

extract from their first instrumental Ep.

Have also a look and a listen to others tracks on their MySpace.

 Don't forget to check the 'Tracks Of The Weeks' section for more contemporary bands and reissues.
