Friday Post (May 6, 2011 blog roundup)

Posted on by

A shout “hello!” from an otherwise quiet blog this week. Traffic, comments and my posts were a little less frequent this week due to a number of things. But I am here and wanted to give a quick rundown of what’s been happening as of late with some of the projects and features on this here blog.

Blog Features update

Firstly you may have noticed a pause in the Multi Kulti Pandora’s Vase feature. Our lovely host, Marianne, has been very busy with her DJ sets and her appearances on RadioSonar in Rome. For now you can check back there to see what’s she’s up to (I’ll keep you posted of any upcoming DJ set streams) and I will also be putting up an archives page for past posts of that as well.

Secondly in the radio department, due to circumstances of the work kind, I was unable to archive this week’s airing of Trash City Radio Show, so if you’ve been looking for that, apologies, and for now I’ll point you to the Trash City Archives page that has been updated and includes several recent weeks of shows. Next week I will resume again with the archive.

Project updates

A few items in the project arena . . . I’ve announced the newest group project you can get involved with last week, that being the more elaborate but potentially very dynamic and exciting Musical Heads project. Check it out, and consider screwing on your music loving head and let me know if you’re willing to submit a post. I’ve started to collect a few items to give away to those willing to dish out a few hours of their time listening to music, researching, writing and creating something for it.

Mondo Instante 8 is coming up fast…Saturday, May 28th, 2011 at 20:00 UTC. Go to the Mondo Instante page for details and what time you’ll need to take a photo.

As far as submissions are concerned, the blog now has a new official email address to use for any future submissions. Please make note that blog at tuliptreepresents dot com is the new method of contact (I’ve removed the Contact Form page).

Free Music Alerts!

Finally, for some musical goodies, I’ve got a few links in the free music alert category. First is a track by good friend Donny Taylor and his band, Lovesoul. If you head on over to the band’s page, you can download the brand newly available “reason 2 live” It’s infectious, funky and I love the sound of Donny and band mate Rebel Mariposa’s voices together. There’s also three other songs you can stream there as well. Check them out!

I also want to point you over to 19 free tracks from Hayvanlar Alemi, a band I recently discovered during a jaunt in psyberspace, self-described as “contemporary Turkish improv-psych-folk-rock freakouts!” You can listen as well as download any of the songs posted there . . . a virtual treasure trove from a really interesting band.

And that’s pretty much an entire week of blogging in one post. Hopefully next week will find me posting a little  more often. Now to get the sketchbook out! For now it’s off to work for me . . . enjoy the weekend!

 

Multi Kulti Pandora’s Vase – Vol 12

Posted on by

Good morning Friday, and as has become customary, I am passing the blog over to Marianne for her Multi Kulti Pandora’s Vase feature. This week she’s taking us on an educational journey into the music of Russian musician Garik Sukachev. Enjoy!

MULTI KULTI PANDORA’S VASE – VOL 12
by Marianne, Rome, Italy

Hi all, Friday again,

This time I want to tell you about one of the greatest Russian artists that I’m aware of, (Igor) GARIK SUKACHEV -  he started his first band in Moscov in ‘84 they were called BRIGADA- S, and became famous in Russia in 1986, after have played the first ever underground music festival held there. The first video I saw of his, was this one… FALL IN LOVE WHIT ME

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F32Z5pNDU9E&feature=related

Sukachev left the BRIGADA-S in 1993, and rigth after formed a new band, Neprikasaemye “Untouchable”

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PO9HDAgWOWE&feature=related

He’s much more than just a singer, also an author of various solo projects, a writer, a talented actor and a successful director. His last movie, the “House of the Sun,” became very popular last year. Unfortunally, I’ve not been able to find any videos of his film works, but he has made, and directed some great music videos to, an example is:

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4sgF0JcME8&NR=1

On March 1, popular Russian rock-musician Garik Sukachev and “Neprikosaemye” played a concert in the Minsk Palace of Republic ( Bielorussia?).

Concerts in the Palace of Republic are notable for their academism. Traditionally, attempts to dance near the stage and in aisles were suppressed by the securities, and the audience had to sit and listen to the first songs as if they had attended a performance of Wagner’s symphony. This fact surprised Sukachev, who noted: “I have an impression that people here work in a standing position.” The musician called on the audience to be more open and free, he added that people were “even allowed to dance” at his gigs. However, first “heroes”, who tried to go to the stage and dance in aisles, were met by strict securities. Then Garik ordered to put on the lights and tried to inflame the audience with  his songs, and  the audience became more alive and during playing of “I Recognize my Sweetheart by his Walk” all people stood up and a real gig began.

Securities of the Palace of Republic didn’t surrender and continued suppressing of all attempts to dance near the stage, but during the song “My Grandma Smokes a Pipe” a mighty riot militiaman in a cold-weather cap and a jacket tried to take away one of the viewers. Sukachev stopped singing and said: “Do not touch people. Or we’ll stop playing. Don’t mix fun with a protest demonstration,” he addressed the securities and riot militia. “There won’t be any barricades here.”

The audience roared with delight in support of the musician. The man was set free, and the concert turned into a normal rock gig. The Belarusian audience was in euphoria: Garik Sukachev and his musicians showed a high quality concert and what mean to be free people.

Critics believe that his work is similar to works of Tom Waits: “Garik successfully creates atmosphere, and his concerts are always full of people, who highly value his unique music.”

Thanks for peeping here again, see you next week.

Multi Kulti Pandora’s Vase Vol 11

Posted on by

Volume 11! It’s been eleven weeks since Marianne started her weekly feature on the blog here, where does the time go? I would like to extend a huge thank you to her for all her time she devotes researching and writing for us, she’s a busy gal, an up and coming dj in Rome and last I spoke with her she had so many things going on that I am astounded (and so thankful) that she still managed to find time for Multi Kulti Pandora’s Vase. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, and if so, please take a moment to let her know either here or via the Tulip Tree page on Facebook. This week she brings several videos to us for International Roma Integration Day which is today. Over to Marianne with a little more information about that, along with some beautiful music.


MULTI KULTI PANDORA’S VASE VOL 11
~Marianne, Rome, Italy

Hello from Rome,

Lately I’m really busy, so I’m late again, and I’m sorry…but here we go again whit something special. Today is International Roma Integration Day…. so this week I wanna let you hear different versions of the same song…. made by different artists..from different parts of the world, and you migth notice that this same song…. is sung in different romany dialects…. but it remains the anthem of all Roma, people no matter where they come from, so was decided on the first world meeting witch was held in England…back in the ‘70′s…..
So this is the Roma Anthem (national song)
Romani
Djelem, djelem, lungone dromensa
Maladilem baxtale Romensa
Djelem, djelem, lungone dromensa
Maladilem baxtale Romensa.
Ay, Romale, Ay, Chavale,
Ay, Romale, Ay, Chavale.
Ay Romale, katar tumen aven
Le tserensa baxtale dromensa
Vi-man sas u bari familiya
Tai mudardya la e kali legiya.
Aven mansa sa lumiake Roma
Kai putaile le Romane droma
Ake vryama – ushti Rom akana
Ame xutasa mishto kai kerasa.
Ay, Romale, Ay Chavale,
Ay, Romale, Ay Chavale.

English Translation
I have traveled over long roads
I have met fortunate Roma
I have traveled far and wide
I have met lucky Roma
Oh, Romani adults, Oh Romani youth
Oh, Romani adults, Oh Romani youth
Oh, Roma, from wherever you have come
With your tents along lucky roads
I too once had a large family
But the black legion murdered them
Come with me, Roma of the world
To where the Romani roads have been opened
Now is the time – stand up, Roma,
We shall succeed where we make the effort.
Oh, Roma adults, Oh, Roma youth
Oh, Roma adults, Oh, Roma youth.

DJELEM DJELEM   — sung by the king  SABAN BAJRAMOVIC…version from Ex Yoguslavia:

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdVVXt29bos&feature=related

Lovely version performed by street musicians, in Odessa,  Ukraine, have been searching for these people, but whitout luck, I think they are great, and I love this version:

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQd6aL7ixe8&feature=related

American Roma, sings it this way:

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RBnppczFzw&feature=related

JELEM JELEM
I don’t know the band playing here….but it’s a very modern version, so made by young people…and the pictures are chosen  to help not to forget..what the world seams to have forgotten… PORAJMOS, which means Holocaust, for the Roma…as they were slaugthered alongside Jews, mentally ill, and homosexuals, in the Nazi concentration camps during world war 2:

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0R_yzRdk6U&feature=related

yet this is only a very little part of what I think must be dozens of diffrent versions I love this song, and bout 2 years ago… I asked Eugene Hutz from Gogol Bordello to play it for me, in a bar in Copenhagen….he did, and we sang it together … great moment, that I do treasure.

Hope you all will like at least one of these above,  and that some day all people will stand up and yell for ALL human beings…to have the same rights to have a nationality….

Have a great week end.
