BUCARELI NU-JAZZ
méxico/francia
Fue formado por Charlie Cuevas y Fabián Cocho en 2004 con el concepto inicial de crear un universo sonoro donde la improvisación jugara un papel activo, en tanto se fusionara con bases grooves, principalmente de la música electrónica como: trance, drum&bass, house, soul, etc. sobre la influencia de diversas propuestas englobadas en la corriente “Nu Jazz” como: Jazzanova, St. Germain, Tosca, etc.
El Proyecto tiene como base el bagaje heredado del Jazz, es por ello que buscan reinventar de alguna manera ese lenguaje y hacer que “el Jazz vuelva a las pistas de baile”.
En 2007 editan su primer album, con participaciones de Magos Herrera, Regina Orozco, Tony Brown y remixes de DJs de Nueva Zelanda, Finlandia y Reino Unido.
Para entonces ya se había incorporado la vocalista Surya de Lyon, Francia y más tarde el grupo se consolida con la participación de Chuco Mendoza en el bajo y de invitados especiales para cada presentación.
Bucareli puede definirse actualmente como un colectivo donde el Hip-Hop, la música Latina y el Dance se entremezclan con el Jazz y la libertad creativa de improvisación.

First there was Hollywood…then Bollywood…and now…Halalwood, Morocco's first and foremost digitalizer's debut album for Crammed.
‘Halalwood’ is a tour-de-force which puts gnawa music, dub, sinuous classic Arabic arrangements for qanun, flute & violins, electronic beats, rappers & MCs, big drums & crunchy rock guitars in a giant blender to produce something fresh and original… U-Cef has all the legitimacy & inspiration needed to navigate between cultures, without any prejudices, disrespect or fear: Born and raised in Rabat, he absorbed much of his native Morocco's multiple traditions before moving first to New York and then to London, immersing himself along the way in the Western world's electronic & rock scenes. His first CD ‘Halalium’ (2001) was a milestone in Moroccan urban dance music, and has inspired a whole generation of rappers, b-boys and pro-tools adventurers, from Tangiers to Taroudant and Melilla to Marrakech.
Featuring an exciting cast of high-profile guests including Damon Albarn, Natacha Atlas, Rachid Taha, Mirror System (Steve Hillage & Miquette Giraudy), UK Apache, Amina Annabi, Justin Adams and Moroccan rap duo Dar Gnawa.
