Duke Mushroom Presents: BOLE 2 HARLEM 的最新部落文章
[訂閱部落格]
DEBO Band at L'Orange Bleue Tonight, FRIDAY! 10:00, $10
(檢視更多...)
Bole is the entry/exit point for Ethiopia, and Harlem is the entry/exit place for African music in America. This record is DUKE MUSHROOM's concept of "ASHAGRE" -Building the bridge between those worlds... Creating a space where they can both exist without musically or culturally dilluting either one.++++++++++++++++
This project began as a Rhythm, a drumbeat, that started at the weekly gathering of their Friend Vincent's French-Morroccan-Senagalese restaurant, "L'Orange Bleue", with DUKE and friends playing drums over DJ Pirrot's Saturday night World Beat Sessions.+++++++++++++++
From there it was obvious, take DUKE's Musical Vision, add The Beautiful Raw voice of TIGIST SHIBABAW, blend in MAKI's Amheric ryming style and revisit traditional Ethiopian song themes while mixing with all our current influences and creative friends -creating a sound we titled the, "WORLD FLOW"...+++++++++++++++
Bole2Harlem is a party, a celebration, our gift back to Ethiopia.+++++++++++++++The World can Flow as One.. Music is the Frontier to pave the way.+++++++++++++++
Album is available from itunes or Amazon.com..

My connection to Allah (God)?
It’s like a Mega dose of Vitamin C
Coursing, streaming thru all five foot seven inches of me
Right after I eat one of those sweet, sunny
Delicately
Round Oranges
Out of the wooden crates from the Sunshine State
That’s how His Glory Magnifies Me
That’s just Simply
His Grace in Me
“Now which of the Bounties of Your Lord would you Deny”
My connection to my Lord…Allah is Simply Heavenly

“Tell Me Girl, What Does He Look Like?” Poem by Jewel
His description?
Mystical…
2 picture him in my minds eye?
Well
Well
It’s like
Borderline
Mysticism
Images of he as my Mayan king
Suspended between
Magical Equinoxes
And waterfalls of liquid chocolate
the strings in his voice
Harmonize my interior
Inner being
Heart of hearts
His vocal chords
Call..they talk to me
commanding my
Most sacred parts
Hmm…this could be the start
of sumthing good
I pinch myself
Awake from the dream
The girl in me
Tries to flee
I am must resist him
With superhuman strength
This is to honor my friend David "Duke Mushroom" for showing me the importance and meaning of VIBE in music (and life). All the best to you David and a great New Year. May your projects meet with success. Sylvain
