The Live Pop-Up Radio Experience
Live from Brooklyn, it’s Afropop Worldwide! In collaboration with Brooklyn Internet radio station Stewart Avenue, Afropop invited New York-based artists from Africa and the diaspora to our office for a unique live broadcast on Sat., Feb. 11. In case you missed it, we have highlights from the six-hour broadcast which featured interviews with singer and keyboardist Jean Gnonlonfoun of Beninois band Jomion and the Uklos; urban dancer, teacher and choreographer Kim D. Holmes from New York; bandleader and percussionist Courtnee Roze from New York; and bandleader, singer and composer Nkumu Katalay from Congo. In the first half of the show, Alejandro Van Zandt-Escobar, Afropop writer, producer and DJ from duo Eko’ fo Show, set the tone with music from Afropop’s in-house record collection and producer Morgan Greenstreet interviewed our director of new media, Akornefa Akyea, for a throwback discussion on Ghanaian hiplife music. Enjoy music and voices from Brooklyn, the place Afropop has called home for over 20 years. Produced by Akornefa Akyea.

Bee Gees – Timeless- The All-Time Greatest Hits (2017)
320 kbps | 179 MB | LINKS
There is a spirituality about this album and these songs always meant the most to us. So, it is extraordinary that it came together in such a natural way. I chose the songs with the intention of having a chronological order to the whole album, and although there are many other songs, these songs I feel are the songs that Maurice, Robin, and I would be most proud of. These songs represent the path of our lives, moments in time. Moments that will never be forgotten. – Barry Gibb

The Nile Project: Live in Boston
The third U.S. tour by the shape-shifting, musical/environmental/activist phenomenon known as the Nile Project thrilled a packed house at the Somerville Theater in Boston on April 15. The concert, presented by World Music/CRASH Arts, came near the end of the tour, perhaps one reason that the 12 artists on stage seemed so joyously at ease and in synch. This is an ambitious act. The musical concept of the Nile Project is to bring together artists from divergent cultural backgrounds within the 11 countries that border the Nile River, and get them to collaborate. There are differences of language, custom, musical modes, rhythms, vocal ornamentation lexicons, on and on. And this musical challenge is a metaphor for the larger challenge of getting leaders and opinion makers in these 11 nations to collaborate on the future of the river itself.
Nile Project, Sommerville Theater (Eyre 2017)
Sticking with the music, six or so years of creating collaborative music have yielded a method that clearly works. This program consisted entirely of songs the artists co-composed during a 10-day retreat before the tour began. And the songs were excellent. This particular lineup benefited from the presence of a number of veterans. Egyptian oud and flute maestros Mohamed Abozekry and Nader El Shaer have emerged as tremendously versatile (as well as virtuoso) players, comfortable in the realms of Egyptian art music and Kenyan guitar benga boogie alike. Steven Sogo of Burundi also returned with characteristic humor and original take on roots idioms. Kenyan percussionist Kasiva Mutua assumed the role of MC for this tour, which she carried off in Boston with alacrity and charm.
Ethiopian vocalist Selamnesh Zemene, another veteran, is sensationally powerful, like a full-throttle blues belter when she lets loose. This time she was joined by three new vocalist participants, Asia Madani of Sudan, Ibrahim Fanous from Eritrea and, especially, Saleeb Fawzy from Egypt, a man with the power of the deepest, strongest Sufi trance singer and unrivaled nuance and technique. Saleeb electrified the crowd each time he approached the microphone.
Ibrahim Fanous, Saleeb Fawzy
Another noteworthy addition was Kenyan guitarist Dave Otieno, who created a kaleidoscope of colors on electric guitar throughout the night, but shone especially brightly on an old school benga number near the end of the second half.
What is most impressive here is the easy interaction and harmonizing between sonic textures: guitar and oud, oud and Eritrean krar, guitar with Ugandan adungu, Egyptian kawala flute and Burundian ikembe. And the percussionists, merging idioms from north and south, kept the grooves richly engaging all night. So many colors and textures came together in this performance, and with such ease. This is likely the most coherent, expansive and impressive presentation of East African music to ever reach an American stage.

Preservation Hall Jazz Band – So It Is (2017)
Although primarily known as one of the main proponents of traditional New Orleans jazz since debuting in 1961, New Orleans’ own Preservation Hall Jazz Band has transformed over the past 20 years into an open-minded and stylistically adventurous ensemble. One of the main drivers of this creative metamorphosis is musical director and tuba player/bassist Ben Jaffe, son of Hall founders Allan and Sandra Jaffe. Since graduating Oberlin Conservatory and joining the band in the late ’90s, Jaffe has worked to broaden the band’s appeal and find ways to combine their joyous acoustic style with all sorts of artists and musical genres outside of traditional jazz. This was the approach they took on their 2011 bluegrass-steeped collaboration with the Del McCoury Band, American Legacies,…
…and 2013’s Jim James-produced That’s It!, which featured their originals alongside covers by Paul Williams and Semisonic. It’s also the approach they take on 2017’s ebullient So It Is. Produced by Jaffe along with TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek, So It Is showcases a soulful, bluesy, groove-oriented set of songs heavily influenced by the roiling, kinetic sound of Afro-Latin and Cuban bands. However, rather than playing standards of the genre like “The Peanut Vendor” or “Oye Como Va,” here Jaffe and his bandmates deliver the Preservation Hall Jazz Band’s first album of all-original compositions. Cuts like “Santiago” and “Innocence,” both co-written by Jaffe and saxophonist/clarinetist Charlie Gabriel, are ferociously bumping, dance-inducing anthems built around titanically rolling drumbeats, evocative keyboard lines, and bristling, puckered horn riffs. Similarly, the kinetic “La Malanga,” co-written by Jaffe and Tao Rodriguez-Seeger (the grandson of Pete Seeger), is a carnival-level, mambo-ready jam replete with searing trumpet lines from Branden Lewis and an angular, post-bop-accented solo from pianist Kyle Roussell. Elsewhere, they dive deep into New Orleans R&B traditions on the funky, organ-steeped, minor-key, Dan Wilson co-write “One Hundred Fires,” and borrow the brassy bombast of fellow New Orleans institution the Rebirth Brass Band on the vocal and handclap-heavy audience pleaser “Mad.”
Along with being a joyous and infectiously jubilant album, So It Is offers the one-two punch of letting the Preservation Hall Jazz Band play the kind of raw, no-holds-barred jazz and blues that they helped personally create a renaissance for, while surreptitiously luring their listeners into what often explodes into a full-on Afro-Latin dance party.
