ShantyHouse's Blurbs |
About me:
Shanty House brings a range of global urban music to a music night in Whitechapel East London. The music ranges from Baile Funk from the Brazilian favelas, to Kwaito the house-influenced sounds of South African townships and Desi, fusing traditional Indian music with Bhangra, hip hop, garage and reggae; from the Hip-Hop of the Deep South Crunk, to Jamaica’s dancehall and London’s Grime. The night will include performances and DJs and is curated by David Moynihan.
“Shanty House is the new strain of post World Music engaging in the same cultural and social dynamics that have given us Crunk and Grime in the first world and Dancehall in Jamaica. Detractors might bemoan the need to give Favela Funk, Kwaito and Desi a brand name. However, like it or lump it these forms are always going to exist on the peripheries of most people in the west's experience of music. If they aren't called something specific then they'll be less absorbable in their own right, and conversely will be viewed as an extension of World music. The concept of 'World Music' is inextricably intertwined with concepts of the natural, the earthen, and the rooted. However, the new wave of global urban music is mercilessly hooligan in it's agenda, synthetic by choice and necessity, often produced in a crucible of urban existence yet more extreme, precarious and violent than that which characterises the temperature of New York, London, Berlin”.
