Dudu Tassa & Jonny Greenwood - Taq ou-Dub (feat. Nour Freteikh) (Live At The Hamam) World Circuit Records 2023-05-18 | New album 'Jarak Qaribak' out now: http://worldcircuit.lnk.to/JarakQaribakID Celebrated singer, musician and producer Dudu Tassa teams up with award-winning composer and guitarist Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead, The Smile) for new album ‘Jarak Qaribak’, bringing together vocalists and musicians from throughout the Middle East for a very special album of cross-border collaborations. ‘Taq ou-Dub’ features Palestinian singer Nour Freteikh. Tassa and Greenwood share their comments on the collaboration: “The first song we recorded for this project was Taq ou-Dub. It’s an old Lebanese song, now performed by Nour Freteikh and in fact it was the starting point for the entire album, connecting Ramallah, Tel Aviv, Beirut and Oxford. Nour, such an incredible singer, first recorded her vocal track remotely but eventually the three of us got together in person to rehearse and perform – and connect properly. We feel very lucky – and very proud – to have made a song, and a friendship, with such a remarkable musician as Nour.”Filmed Live at the Hamam in October 2022 Musicians:Nour Freteikh - VocalsDudu Tassa - BassJonny Greenwood - Guitar, Drum MachineAriel Qassis - QanunYaniv Taichman - OudBen Dagovitch - RiqOded Aloni - DarbukaItzhak Ventura - FluteDaniel Hoffman, Johanna Riethmueller, Lea Gadaev - ViolinJackie Fay - CelloTamar Shawki, Dema Kablan, Jameel Faris - Backing VocalsJarak Qaribak Team:Production Company: Davidson Artists ManagementBatel Pipano - Production ManagerRoy Berkovich - DOPRoi Habany, Yaniv Vaknin, Aviv Meseznik, Rami Katzav - Videographers Roy Biberman - GripYoav Osterreicher - Stage ManagerDana Tkatch, Elad Kalai, Dana Hazan, Yaniv Kalai - Space and light design and ExecutionRam Tsizling - LightingIlan Harush - RecordingRoy Langley - Recording AssistantBen Essev - Guitar TechShai C Sivan - Mixing & MasteringAlmog Maimoni - EditorIlan Azoulay - ColouristRaz Danon - StylistRoza Shwartsman, Marina Eskenazi - MakeupIdan Barir - TranslationManagement: Or Davidson, Brian Message#DuduTassa #JonnyGreenwood #JarakQaribak
Dudu Tassa & Jonny Greenwood - Ya Mughir al-Ghazala (feat. Karrar Alsaadi) (Live At The Hamam) World Circuit Records 2023-04-27 | New album 'Jarak Qaribak' out now: http://worldcircuit.lnk.to/JarakQaribakIDCelebrated singer, musician and producer Dudu Tassa teams up with award-winning composer and guitarist Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead, The Smile) for new album ‘Jarak Qaribak’, bringing together vocalists and musicians from throughout the Middle East for a very special album of cross-border collaborations. “Jarak Qaribak” translates, more or less, as “Your Neighbour Is Your Friend”. It’s an expansive, inclusive sentiment. The songs on the album, and the singers, are drawn from all over the Middle East – and, in keeping with the theme established by the album’s title, each singer takes a turn at a tune from a country other than their own. Jonny says that his somewhat incongruous benchmark when assembling the tracks on “Jarak Qaribak” was “trying to imagine what Kraftwerk would have done if they’d been in Cairo in the 1970s”. Though Dudu says that he scrutinised every lyric as carefully as he could for even the vaguest hint of a political subtext, and insists – accurately – that “Jarak Qaribak” is an album of classic love songs, the romance and heartbreak they chronicle exclusively personal, neither Dudu nor Jonny are naïve enough to believe that nobody will project their own political prejudices onto this project, favourably or otherwise. “We didn’t want,” says Jonny, “to make out that we’re making any political point, but I do understand that as soon as you do anything in that part of the world it becomes political, even if it’s just artistic. Actually, possibly especially if it’s artistic.” Dudu, however, believes that it would have been an act of bad faith to make “Jarak Qaribak” any other way. “Israel,” he notes, “is a small country between all those countries, so we’re very influenced by those cultures and by that music. And a lot of us in Israel – like my family – are descended from people who came here from elsewhere in the Middle East, so everything gets mixed up.” “It’s a letter in a bottle, thrown into the ocean,” he decides. “Who will get it, who will hear it, I don’t know. But someone will love it.” Filmed Live at the Hamam in October 2022Musicians:Dudu Tassa - Vocals, Guitar, BassJonny Greenwood - Bass, Guitar, Drum MachineAriel Qassis - QanunYaniv Taichman - OudBen Dagovitch - RiqOded Aloni - DarbukaSefi Zisling - CornetYuval Peleg - TrumpetMaayan Milo - TromboneTamar Shawki, Ariel Qassis, Dema Kablan, Jameel Faris - Backing VocalsJarak Qaribak Team:Production Company: Davidson Artists ManagementBatel Pipano - Production ManagerRoy Berkovich - DOPRoi Habany, Yaniv Vaknin, Ram Tsizling, Aviv Meseznik, Rami Katzav - VideographersRoy Biberman - GripYoav Osterreicher - Stage ManagerDana Tkatch, Elad Kalai, Dana Hazan, Yaniv Kalai - Space & Light Design and ExecutionRam Tsizling - LightingIlan Harush - RecordingRoy Langley - Recording AssistantBen Essev - Guitar TechShai C Sivan - Mixing & MasteringAlmog Maimoni - EditorIlan Azoulay - ColouristRaz Danon - StylistMarina Eskenazi - MakeupIdan Barir - TranslationManagement: Or Davidson, Brian Message#DuduTassa #JonnyGreenwood #JarakQaribak
Dudu Tassa & Jonny Greenwood - Ashufak Shay (Featuring Rashid Al Najjar) (Official Visualiser) World Circuit Records 2023-04-13 | Taken from 'Jarak Qaribak', out now: http://worldcircuit.lnk.to/JarakQaribakCelebrated singer, musician and producer Dudu Tassa teams up with award-winning composer and guitarist Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead, The Smile) for new album ‘Jarak Qaribak’, bringing together vocalists and musicians from throughout the Middle East for a very special album of cross-border collaborations. “Jarak Qaribak” translates, more or less, as “Your Neighbour Is Your Friend”. It’s an expansive, inclusive sentiment. The songs on the album, and the singers, are drawn from all over the Middle East – and, in keeping with the theme established by the album’s title, each singer takes a turn at a tune from a country other than their own. Jonny says that his somewhat incongruous benchmark when assembling the tracks on “Jarak Qaribak” was “trying to imagine what Kraftwerk would have done if they’d been in Cairo in the 1970s”.

Ali Farka Touré - Voyageur - New Album (Trailer) World Circuit Records 2023-01-17 | 'Voyageur' out 10th March on CD, LP or digital: http://worldcircuit.lnk.to/AFTVoyageur‘Voyageur’, the new album from the legendary African guitarist and singer Ali Farka Touré, will be released by World Circuit Records on 10th March. Produced by World Circuit's Nick Gold with Ali's son Vieux Farka Touré, it is the first release of unheard Touré material since 2010’s posthumous Grammy-winning ‘Ali & Toumani’, and features a collection of gems captured at various points in Ali’s illustrious career. No African musician has made an impact at home and on the international imagination like the great Malian guitarist, singer and spiritual father of the Desert Blues, Ali Farka Touré. From Grammy-winning collaborations with Ry Cooder and kora maestro Toumani Diabaté to gritty lo-fi recordings made in his remote home village, Ali’s inimitable voice and hypnotic guitar playing communicates with listeners with an authority that transcends boundaries of markets, fashions and genres. Sixteen years on from his death, Ali remains a towering figure, one of a handful of great talents – alongside Jimi Hendrix and Fela Kuti – whose music feels perennially vital and relevant, whose charisma burns as brightly after their passing as it did in life. Ali’s mystique shines on brightly, inspiring listeners around the world and a host of illustrious admirers, including Robert Plant, actor Matthew McConaughey, who based his famous humming chant in the Wolf of Wall Street on one of Ali’s rhythms, and Texas indie-rockers Khruangbin, who recently recorded a collection of Ali’s songs in company with his son Vieux. Captured spontaneously over the course of 15 years, on the road and in the studio between sessions for other albums, the songs on ‘Voyageur’ were all of immense personal importance to Ali. They reflect his passionate commitment to the creativity and cultural diversity of his homeland, and a life spent in motion, as a traveller – a Voyageur – between the desert stages of Timbuktu, studios of West Hollywood, the concert halls of London and Tokyo, and tiny villages strung out on the Malian riverside, where Ali was – of course – known by everyone. From pared back, mesmeric grooves in Ali’s signature Sonrhaï style to anthemic fishermen’s choruses, pulsing hunters’ rhythms and an African “noise band” of reverb-laden guitars and lutes (‘Kombo Galia’), ‘Voyageur’ showcases a secret store of songs which Ali built up through his long and varied career, shedding new light on an extraordinary and enigmatic talent. #alifarkatoure #voyageur #desertblues FOLLOW ALI FARKA TOURÉWebsite: http://www.alifarkatoure.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/alifarkatoureInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/alifarkatoureofficial Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/3mNygoyrEKLgo6sx0MzwOL?si=6kdAJiTjT7e2rPKNzCTh1QApple: music.apple.com/gb/artist/ali-farka-tour%C3%A9/7420807

Together with Fela Kuti (with whom he played for 15 years) Allen co-created Afrobeat - the hard-driving, horns-rich, funk-infused, politically insurrectionary style which became such a dominant force in African music and such an influence worldwide. His iconic drumming has since underpinned an extensive catalogue of solo works as well as collaborations with the likes of Damon Albarn (as part of The Good, The Bad and The Queen), Charlotte Gainsbourg, Sebastien Tellier, Grace Jones, Malian superstar Oumou Sangaré, Jeff Mills and Hugh Masekela.His 2009 World Circuit debut, the raw and uncut Secret Agent, has all the ingredients that combine to make Afrobeat so special - fat, full-throated, hard riffing horns; nagging tenor guitars; jazz- and funk-informed saxophone and trumpet work outs; effervescent chicken-shack keyboards; lyrics rich in folk metaphors and proverbs, some of which confront state corruption and oppression (Kuti’s most frequent targets); deep-soul call and response vocals; and, of course, energising everything around it, Allen’s majestic drumming. To mark the 2nd anniversary of Tony Allen’s passing at the age of 80, World Circuit re-released this classic album on 2 x 180g heavyweight vinyl. The audio has been remastered and the package features the original 2009 sleeve notes in a 4p 12” booklet. worldcircuit.lnk.to/SecretAgent2022FOLLOW WORLD CIRCUIT: Subscribe: https://WorldCircuit.lnk.to/WCYouTubeID Website: http://www.worldcircuit.co.uk Facebook: facebook.com/WorldCircuitRecords Twitter: twitter.com/WorldCircuit Instagram: instagram.com/world_circuit_records/?hl=enSpotify: open.spotify.com/user/worldcircuitrecords#TonyAllen #ElewonPo #Afrobeat

Preorder now: http://worldcircuit.lnk.to/SecretAgent2022Tony Allen (1940 – 2020) has long been acknowledged as Africa's finest drummer and one of the continent's most influential musicians. Together with Fela Kuti (with whom he played for 15 years) Allen co-created Afrobeat - the hard-driving, horns-rich, funk-infused, politically insurrectionary style which became such a dominant force in African music and such an influence worldwide. His iconic drumming has since underpinned an extensive catalogue of solo works as well as collaborations with the likes of Damon Albarn (as part of The Good, The Bad and The Queen), Charlotte Gainsbourg, Sebastien Tellier, Grace Jones, Malian superstar Oumou Sangaré, Jeff Mills and Hugh Masekela.His 2009 World Circuit debut, the raw and uncut Secret Agent, has all the ingredients that combine to make Afrobeat so special - fat, full-throated, hard riffing horns; nagging tenor guitars; jazz- and funk-informed saxophone and trumpet work outs; effervescent chicken-shack keyboards; lyrics rich in folk metaphors and proverbs, some of which confront state corruption and oppression (Kuti’s most frequent targets); deep-soul call and response vocals; and, of course, energising everything around it, Allen’s majestic drumming. To mark the 2nd anniversary of Tony Allen’s passing at the age of 80, World Circuit will re-release this classic album on 2 x 180g heavyweight vinyl. The audio has been remastered and the package features the original 2009 sleeve notes in a 4p 12” booklet.FOLLOW WORLD CIRCUIT: Subscribe: https://WorldCircuit.lnk.to/WCYouTubeID Website: http://www.worldcircuit.co.uk Facebook: facebook.com/WorldCircuitRecordsTwitter: twitter.com/WorldCircuit Instagram: instagram.com/world_circuit_recordsSpotify: open.spotify.com/user/worldcircuitrecords#TonyAllen #Celebrate #Afrobeat
Tony Allen & Hugh Masekela - Never (Lagos Never Gonna Be The Same) (Cool Cats Mix) (Official Audio) World Circuit Records 2021-10-22 | Subscribe to World Circuit - worldcircuit.lnk.to/WCYouTubeID Buy/Stream the album Rejoice: https://WorldCircuit.lnk.to/RejoiceSpecialEditionyvFor this Special Edition release, World Circuit have gone back to Allen & Masekela’s original 2010 mixes and added previously unheard parts from the follow-up 2019 sessions to create 8 reimagined bonus mixes. Having first met in the 70s thanks to their respective close associations with Fela Kuti, the two world-renowned musicians talked for decades about making an album together. When, in 2010, their touring schedules coincided in the UK, the moment presented itself and producer Nick Gold took the opportunity to record their encounter. The unfinished sessions, consisting of all original compositions by the pair, lay in archive until after Masekela passed away in 2018. With renewed resolution, Tony Allen and Nick Gold, with the blessing and participation of Hugh Masekela’s estate, unearthed the original tapes and finished recording the album in summer 2019 at the same London studio where the original sessions had taken place. ‘Rejoice’ can be seen as the long overdue confluence of two mighty African musical rivers – a union of two free-flowing souls for whom borders, whether physical or stylistic, are things to pass through or ignore completely. According to Allen, the album deals in “a kind of South African-Nigerian swing-jazz stew”, with its roots firmly in Afrobeat. Allen and Masekela are accompanied on the record by a new generation of well-respected jazz musicians including Tom Herbert (Acoustic Ladyland / The Invisible), Joe Armon-Jones (Ezra Collective), Mutale Chashi (Kokoroko) and Steve Williamson.FOLLOW WORLD CIRCUIT: Subscribe: https://WorldCircuit.lnk.to/WCYouTubeID Website: http://www.worldcircuit.co.uk Facebook: facebook.com/WorldCircuitRecordsTwitter: twitter.com/WorldCircuit Instagram: instagram.com/world_circuit_records Spotify: open.spotify.com/user/worldcircuitrecords#TonyAllen #HughMasekela #Rejoice

No stranger to a genre-defying collaboration, he has recorded two Grammy-winning albums alongside desert blues pioneer Ali Farka Touré, as well as projects with Taj Mahal, Björk, Béla Fleck, Damon Albarn and Afrocubism.Commissioned as a special project by the Barbican Centre in London and produced by World Circuit, these recordings feature Diabaté and his group of eminent Malian musicians (including Kasse Mady Diabaté and Lassana Diabaté), accompanied by the soaring presence of the LSO, in dedicated arrangements by Nico Muhly and Ian Gardiner and conducted by Clark Rundell.The title bestowed by Diabaté on this unique and groundbreaking release, ‘Kôrôlén’, translates from the Mandinka language as ‘ancestral’ - a fitting theme for an album that brings together ancient griot melodies and Western orchestral arrangements, resulting in an achingly beautiful and fresh Afro-neo-classical sound that will appeal to admirers of African, traditional and new classical, and ambient music.FOLLOW WORLD CIRCUIT: Subscribe: https://WorldCircuit.lnk.to/WCYouTubeID Website: http://www.worldcircuit.co.uk/ Facebook: facebook.com/WorldCircuitRecordsTwitter: twitter.com/WorldCircuit Instagram: instagram.com/world_circuit_recordsSpotify: open.spotify.com/user/worldcircuitApple Music: music.apple.com/gb/curator/world-circuit/1487850681#ToumaniDiabate #LondonSymphonyOrchestra #MoonKaira

Pedro Laza Y Sus Pelayeros - Cumbia Del Monte (Official Video) World Circuit Records 2021-02-22 | Description:Subscribe to World Circuit - worldcircuit.lnk.to/WCYouTubeID ‘Cumbia Cumbia 1&2’ - https://WorldCircuit.lnk.to/CumbiaCumbiaID Cumbia, the music and the dance synonymous with Colombia, has been around almost since the 17th century. Today, it’s a badge of identity for Colombians everywhere, but is now also enjoying a global renaissance; filling dance floors and captivating a new generation of music fans.Originally released by World Circuit as two separate albums – ‘Cumbia Cumbia’ in 1989 and ‘Cumbia Cumbia 2’ in 1993 - this collection brings together some of the greatest recordings made by Colombia’s legendary record label, Discos Fuentes, between 1954 and 1988.Discos Fuentes was founded in Cartagena in 1934 by the visionary musician, arranger and producer, Antonio Lopez Fuentes. It was the first important record label in the country and grew into a company of immense significance for Colombian music, responsible for thousands of hits and scores of legendary singers and musicians over six decades. Fuentes hand-picked his musicians and singers then meticulously arranged, produced and recorded their music in-house.This collection presents thirty of these three-minute-masterpieces, showcasing the gamut of styles that make up the distinctive and irresistible cumbia sound; a sound typified by a loping 2/4 gait and a pulsing rocksteady bassline, overlaid with heavy rural percussion, brass, accordion, clarinet, electric guitar and vocals.

Toumani Diabaté And The London Symphony Orchestra - Haïnamady Town (Official Video) World Circuit Records 2021-02-17 | Description:Subscribe to World Circuit - worldcircuit.lnk.to/WCYouTubeID ‘Kôrôlén’ - https://WorldCircuit.lnk.to/korolenIDKôrôlén is a very special collaboration between two titans in music: Toumani Diabaté, the Grammy-winning Malian kora virtuoso, and the London Symphony Orchestra, renowned worldwide for their performances of orchestral music on record, film and stage.Diabaté, a griot whose musical lineage stretches back generations, is well known as one of the most creative musicians on the African continent, and is almost single-handedly responsible for bringing the iconic sound of the kora to worldwide audiences. No stranger to a genre-defying collaboration, he has recorded two Grammy-winning albums alongside desert blues pioneer Ali Farka Touré, as well as projects with Taj Mahal, Björk, Béla Fleck, Damon Albarn and Afrocubism.Commissioned as a special project by the Barbican Centre in London and produced by World Circuit, these recordings feature Diabaté and his group of eminent Malian musicians (including Kasse Mady Diabaté and Lassana Diabaté), accompanied by the soaring presence of the LSO, in dedicated arrangements by Nico Muhly and Ian Gardiner and conducted by Clark Rundell.The title bestowed by Diabaté on this unique and groundbreaking release, ‘Kôrôlén’, translates from the Mandinka language as ‘ancestral’ - a fitting theme for an album that brings together ancient griot melodies and Western orchestral arrangements, resulting in an achingly beautiful and fresh Afro-neo-classical sound that will appeal to admirers of African, traditional and new classical, and ambient music.FOLLOW WORLD CIRCUIT: Subscribe: https://WorldCircuit.lnk.to/WCYouTubeID Website: http://www.worldcircuit.co.uk Facebook: facebook.com/WorldCircuitRecords Twitter: twitter.com/WorldCircuit Instagram: instagram.com/world_circuit_records Spotify: open.spotify.com/user/worldcircuitrecords Apple Music: music.apple.com/gb/curator/world-circuit/1487850681
Afel Bocoum - Bombolo Liilo (2020 Rehearsal Performance) World Circuit Records 2020-09-07 | Subscribe to World Circuit - worldcircuit.lnk.to/WCYouTubeID Afel Bocoum 'Lindé' out now: worldcircuit.lnk.to/AfelBocoumLindeNamed after the wild expanse near Bocoum’s hometown of Niafunké, ‘Lindé’ is a remarkable blend of deep tradition and audacious innovation. The album was recorded in Mali’s capital Bamako, and stitches together the age-old music of the Niger bend with styles from across the globe, boasting performances from a number of eminent Malian musicians including Madou Kouyaté, the late ‘Hama’ Sankaré and Madou Sidiki Diabaté, along with the drums of recently-departed Afrobeat pioneer Tony Allen, the trombone of Vin Gordon (Bob Marley / Skatalites) and the violin of Joan as Police Woman. Traditional instruments like the ngoni, njurkele, kora and calabash blend with guitars, percussion and call-and-response vocals. The result is a gently undulating flow that emanates from a source hidden deep in the historical and mystical traditions of Bocoum’s native land, enriched along its way by musical tributaries and cross-currents. It’s music that rolls rather than rocks, graceful, unforced and minimal by design. ‘Lindé’ is also an album with a message – in the face of an uncertain and turbulent world, and a homeland struggling with jihad, poverty and tribal war, Afel Bocoum urges hope, solidarity and unity. “We have to meet each other, talk to each other, look each other in the eye and tell the truth,” Afel says. “If we’re not united, I can see no solution. Our social security is music. That’s all we’ve got left. People love music, so we have to make use of that fact.” #AfelBocoum #BomboloLiilo #Linde Produced by Paul Chandler with Mark Mulholland.
