Ana Carla Maza – Caribe (2023) [Official Digital Download 24bit/48kHz]

Ana Carla Maza – Caribe (2023)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/48 kHz | Time – 54:09 minutes | 637 MB | Genre: Afro-Cuban Jazz, Latin Jazz, Bossa Nova, Female Vocal
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Persona Editorial

Entirely produced by Ana, Caribe will be her third album proper and is a continuation of her love letter to Latin American music taking influences from cumbia, son, bossa, samba, tango, rumba and salsa.

“In Latin music, women sing, and men do everything else. I decided to approach this new record without a music producer. I arrived in the studio with all the scores, written for a sextet, instrument by instrument. I have a classical background, I can play Brahms or Shostakovich, whose music is complicated. So why not take on a new challenge: entirely produce a Latin album that reflects my feminine sensitivity, my desire for positive celebration of the here and now, of ‘Alegria’, spontaneous joy.”

FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/44,1 kHz | Time – 47:32 minutes | 528 MB | Genre: Psychedelic Rock
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Innovative Leisure – Calico Discos

For the last 15 years, Allah-Las have alchemically melded surf rock washes with folk rock jangle and rock, building up their lauded music podcast, Reverberation Radio, and record label, Calico Discos, in the process. But a lot has changed since Matthew Correia (drums/vocals), Spencer Dunham (bass, guitar, vocals), Miles Michaud (guitar, organ, vocals), and Pedrum Siadatian (guitar, synth, vocals) first bonded over psych rock vinyl in the back room at Amoeba Records in the late aughts. Zuma 85 signals the start of a new era for Allah-Las, and finds the band reinventing itself in defiance of the algorithmic categorization and robotic sterility. Recorded in the midst of the shift from the Old World to whatever branch of reality we’re on now, it’s a return, too: The album will be released October 13th on their own label, Calico Discos, in partnership with Innovative Leisure, which released early defining statements like Allah-Las (2012) and Worship The Sun (2014).

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Universal Music Division Barclay

4 ans après Les Chansons de l’innocence retrouvée, vendu à plus de 150000 exemplaires, ce Diskönoir entêtant qui donnera lieu à la tournée de toutes les extases, Etienne Daho était prêt pour une nouvelle aventure. Celle-ci prend corps sous le nom de Blitz, un nouvel album que le chanteur a voulu comme un défi, un bras d’honneur à la torpeur ambiante, nous enjoignant à rester «léger face au danger», lui qui ces dernières années est ressorti plus fort de bien des batailles et n’a jamais perdu sa légèreté de vivant, ni sa prodigieuse inspiration. En témoigne l’un des albums les plus aventureux de ses (presque) quarante années de funambulisme pop, à la fois fresque psychédélique de haut vol et recueil de ballades planantes qui ajoutent quelques chapitres (Les Flocons de l’été, L’Etincelle) à cette déclinaison de l’élégance française dont Daho est l’incontesté souverain. Porté par l’imparable tube, Les flocons de l’été, ce Blitz est l’événement de cette fin d’année / 4 years after The Songs of innocence found, sold more than 150000 copies, this Diskönoir heady, which will be the tour of all the ecstasies, Etienne Daho was ready for a new adventure. It takes a body under the name of Blitz, a new album that the singer has wanted as a challenge, an arm of honour to the torpor ambient, requesting that we stay “light in the face of danger”, which in recent years has emerged stronger in many battles and has never lost his lightness of living, nor her prodigious inspiration. Witness one of the albums more adventurous of his (almost) forty years of wire walking pop, both fresco psychedelic high vol and collection of ballads planing to add a few chapters (The Flakes of the summer, The Spark) at this declination of the French elegance that Daho is the undisputed ruler. Worn by the unstoppable tube, The flakes of the summer, this Blitz is the event of the end of the year

And jazz standards including “Stairway to the Stars” and “Ray’s Idea” rub shoulders with seven Scofield originals that are variously swing, funk and folk-inflected.

In a 1991 interview, Garcia said, “So they used to have this Monday night jam session, but Howard gradually sort of took it over. Howard’s this amazing organ player — difficult person, but wonderful musician. And for some reason he liked our playing, John [Kahn] and mine. We didn’t know each other, John and I. In fact we played with Howard for almost a year before we even actually started talking to each other. Really. We would just show up, plug in, and play. About half the set I’d be whispering to John, I’d be saying, ‘Hey, man, what key are we in?’ Howard didn’t have tunings or anything, he just played. Sometimes he would do these things that were so outside that you just couldn’t — unless you knew where it was going, you had no idea where to start. Sometimes they’d turn out to be just these things like four-bar blues turnarounds, relatively simple musical things, but they were so extended the way he’d play them — ‘God, what is this?’
