Music   

ANTONIO EL PIPA FLAMENCO ENSEMBLE from Andalucia, Spain, is one of the most traditional flamenco groups performing today. Born in Jerez, Antonio comes from a family dynasty of Gitano artists, among whom are his grandmother, the legendary Tía Juana la del Pipa (now deceased) and his aunt Juana la del Pipa, who dances in this group and sings with a gravelly voice that feels as raw as centuries of pain. Their 'Gypsy Passion' dance production brought Antonio and his aunt Juana accolades from critics in the USA and Europe, and they continue to perform around the world and to the toughest flamenco audiences - in Spain.



  

ESMA REDZEPOVA from Macedonia, has been performing for more than 40 years and is recognized globally as the musical "Queen of the Gypsies." Her impassioned voice easily reduces audiences to tears, and then gets them dancing in the aisles. Esma is accompanied acoustically by the accordion, clarinet, trumpet, tarabuka and double-bass. A glamourous diva by appearance, Esma has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for her Rom-related political work. With her late husband she adopted 47 children and then trained them to earn a living with music. Her basement became home to a 24-hour Romani TV station reporting on everything from new Romani pop hits or community birthdays, to Macedonia's 5,000 Romani refugees from Kosovo.



  

FANFARE CIOCARLIA is an eleven-man brass and woodwind band that comes from the village of Zece Prajini, near the Romanian-Moldavian border. Their music combines Romanian, Gypsy and Turkish influences, even elements of klezmer. The group's three CDs have enjoyed huge success, and they have appeared on festival stages all over the world, as well as playing on film soundtracks for artists such as Goran Bregovic and Emir Kusturica. "We're one of the last, and we're the fastest of them all!" says the group's leader, Ioan Ivancea. Fanfare Ciocarlia truly deserves the title of the fastest and perhaps the craziest of the Romani brass bands.



  

MAHARAJA is a group which combines leading musician tribal castes from the desert of Rajasthan in northwest India. Maharaja has performed at hundreds of concerts worldwide and dazzled audiences with an energetic hybrid of Indian music, acrobatics and dance. Founded in 1995 (originally named 'Musafir'), this group gathers musicians, poets and shamans who in Rajasthan would not play together, but here create an exciting fusion of North Indian folk, classical, Arabic, sufi trance and crossover styles that create an eclectic aesthetic. On the first Gypsy Caravan tour, they discovered the richness of flamenco and have since begun a side project, Maharaja Flamenca, which performs on this tour with Antonio El Pipa.



  

TARAF DE HAÏDOUKS is a vibrant group of Romanian musicians whose repertoire includes Romanian wedding music, violin ballads and accompaniments to jazz, classical and rock. They have performed with Yehudi Menuhin and the Kronos Quartet, played a prominent part in Tony Gatliff's acclaimed film "Latcho Drom" and appeared alongside Johnny Depp in Sally Potter's "The Man Who Cried." On stage, 12 musicians deftly pass back and forth musical creations that appeal to a range of music lovers far beyond World Music and Fusion fans. But however strange their new found fame may seem to themselves, their music stays true to itself, keeping a strange "edge", an undefinable charm. It seems to be getting better with each concert and new album, and they elicit ever more praise from the press. The oldest lead violinist is 79, there are others in their 60s and 20s, playing cymbalum, accordion, flute and powerful lungs. When Taraf return to their home village, the economy is boosted because modest concert earnings allow them to put their children in school and buy a few local goods, which is enough to keep the village going until the next tour paycheck. Clejani is a Romani village of musicians who were once in constant demand for weddings, but dwindling tradition has taken its toll. Now international tours are the goal. Taraf de Haïdouks (literally "band of brigands") is probably the best known of Gypsy musicians today.

About me:
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Shot by legendary cinematographer Albert Maysles, WHEN THE ROAD BENDS documents five Gypsy bands from four countries who unite for the Gypsy Caravan as they take their music around North America for a six-week tour, astounding every audience they meet. Their musical styles range from flamenco to brass band, Romanian violin to Indian folk. And with humor and soul in their voices, they celebrate the best in Gypsy culture and the diversity of the Romani people in an explosion of song and dance.

As the film follows the amazing performances and behind-the-scenes action from the tour, we discover the real lives of these musicians. We visit Macedonia, Romania, India and Spain, meet their families and see what music brings to their lives. The tales of these characters are woven between their performances -allowing us to understand and celebrate Romani culture and the prejudice of their shared ancestry.

WHEN THE ROAD BENDS... features performances by Macedonian diva and "Queen of the Gypsies" ESMA REDZEPOVA, traditional Indian folk troupe MAHARAJA, Romanian FANFARE CIOCARLIA, the violin wizardry of Romanian group TARAF DE HAIDOUKS and the ANTONIO EL PIPA FLAMENCO ENSEMBLE.

K.u.r.a.M & Caro - Virüs E.P ÇIKTI!

Müzik kariyerine 2005 yılında Se7enty'nin desteğiyle Infeksyon Records'ta başlayan, son olarak ise Antalyanın önde gelen ekiplerinden South Station Records bünyesine katılan K.u.r.a.M ile, Ankara'da Beatmaker olarak müzik hayatına devam eden, son olarak Exxis ile "The Last Sleep" adlı Beat albümünü yayınlayan TurkBeatMakerz bünyesindeki Caro ortak bir E.P albümünde buluştular. Aslında K.u.r.a.M ve Caro 2006 yılından beri birçok sayısız çalışma içinde bulundular fakat ilk defa yayınladıkları "Virüs" adlı albümleriyle bunu renklendirdiler.İkilinin asıl amaçlarının Vocal ve Beat konusunda kendilerini göstermek olduklarının altını çiziyorlar.Yeni projelerinde stil olarak daha çok protestlik üzerine olacağını ve bu tarzlarını ileriye götüreceklerine dikkat çekiyorlar.Albümün kapak tasarımı MGeyik'e ait. Feat.'lerde ise K.u.r.a.M'a Tenko, Nah Bin Seffah, Iceman ve Gülin Şencan eşlik ediyor. Albüm kayıtları (1,2,3,4) South Station Records ve (5) Hodri Meydan Records'ta alınan, Mix & Mastering ise (1,2,3,4) Tenko ve (5) Iceman'a ait olan "Virüs" adlı albümle sizleri baş başa bırakıyoruz. Keyifli dinlemeler.
