Pacifika 'Asunción'
2008-04-09 14:53:00
Pacifika Asunciónavailable now Vancouver based trio, Pacifika has received impressive press accolades for their debut album, Asunción, due out in the U.S. on April 8 on Six Degrees Records. Early press reviews have said, “the group’s new album is nothing short of transcendent-a bold fusion of jazzy beats, electronica and Latin flavor that suggests a multi-phased trip to paradise,” according to Global Rhythm. While the NY Post recently featured the band and said, “the album they created is eclectic, a little bit chill-out and melancholic but also with several ass-shaking songs. Imagine the sounds you might hear while traveling through the worlds where their music finds inspiration - Latin America, Spain, North America and the UK and you'll get what they are aiming for.” The ...
 
Jef Stott - free download and pre-order of his new album 'Saracen'
2008-04-08 17:21:00
Saracen is the first full-length solo recording from Jef Stott, and it's about time. Stott has been on the global music scene for over a decade, helping to found the bands Stellamara and Lumin and producing records by the Tunisian-born MC RAI and the Persian fusion group Somma, among others. He released last year's SoukSonik, an EP, on Six Degrees' digital-only Emerging Artists series, but with his convincing blend of Middle Eastern and North African instruments and rhythms with modern dance music, Stott "emerged" fairly quickly. The EP charted heavily on CMJ and Jazziz, and a busy live touring schedule in Japan, Canada, Los Angeles, and Miami helped set the stage, finally, for his solo debut.Stott began as an experimental guitarist in Los Angeles, but his work with Stellamara, a group...

Popmatters review: Ojos de Brujo Techari Live
2008-03-03 12:01:00
In the past few years, Ojos de Brujo has become one of the leading purveyors of nuevo flamenco. Audiences worldwide began to take notice of them after the release of their breakthrough sophomore album, Barí, and their subsequent 2004 tour. Their Grammy winning follow-up, Techarí, only increased their popularity among lovers of eclectic fusion. Incorporating genres of music such as bhangra, and featuring no less than 14 guests, their most exciting, sonically adventurous record to date is undeniably live album material. Recorded in their hometown on the last date of their 2006 tour, Techarí Live is an aural testament to Ojos’ passion and cohesive musicality. Charismatic singer Marina Abad’s voice, which is as vibrant as her colorful, flowing clothing, takes center stage on the tw...
