Band Members DIRTMUSIC is CHRIS ECKMAN, HUGO RACE and CHRIS BROKAW. In the new year of 2007, three reknowned musicians – each of them with a long history in the alternative scene of rock music - decided to form a new band together. Their vision of this band was to strip back their music to the bare essentials and rediscover the original folk music which was the source of their inspiration. Using acoustic instruments - guitars, dobro, banjo, harmonium, melodica, foot percussion and harmony vocals - Dirtmusic made a European tour to develop their sound and material at the end of which they recorded their debut album in the Sono studio in Prague for the German independent label Glitterhouse Records. This self-titled album (“Dirtmusic”) will be released Europe-wide in November 2007. The Dirtmusic sound evokes the landscapes of the artists’ origins: the pacific north-west USA (Chris Eckman), southern Australia (Hugo Race) and the atlantic north-east USA (Chris Brokaw). All three are or have been expatriates and have travelled widely around the world with their various music projects. Drawing on the folk music traditions of these ex-frontier societies, Dirtmusic tell stories of individuals searching for orientation in the urban wilderness of a ‘new’ world. Melodies are drawn from blues and folk, but refashioned through the life experience and musical journeys of this international trio.

Reaktion & Tapsit are very happy to introduce 2 new records of tuareg music:

TERAKAFT : LIVE 2008
6 tracks recorded during the European tour 2008. Includes 2 unreleased tracks: “Targa” et “Ewarnanagh”

AZAWAD : LIVE 1999
Behind the name of Azawad are hidden three original members of the Tinariwen collective: Abdallah, Hassan and Kedou. These are the live recordings made in 1999 in France, which can perhaps be considered Tinariwen’s first concert outside Africa.

Only available for downloads on all the legal platforms (iTunes, emusic...).
Exclusively on tamasheq. net : tracks + digital booklets (english & french).

Nor Mozart, Charlie Parker or Jimmy Hendrix had such an instrument at their disposition!
All music we know is made on instruments we know.
New weapons generate killings,
new musical instruments generate....
Can’t wait for people like you to start exploring the Kelstone.
