Born in the dark streets of Cairo, grown to the unforgettable forests of Santa Esmeralda, spending its teen years in Bombay and Tangier markets, mature into the deep spacey Jungle of Ghana we proudly
present you a new label from the land of the pyramids: SHANGO RECORDS invites you to an unheard world music psychedelic trip: like through a colorful kaleidoscope we will melt down Indian and Pakistani Vibes, Arab-Tek and Oriental groovy vibes, Afro-Beat rhythms n'pieces, Cumbia Tropicana flavors and cosmic Ghetto-Latin vibes into forbidden sounds of frenzied electronic dancefloor rituals.
Outside traditional paths these driving grooves and polyphonic structures take the adventure seeking dancer to Dionysian highs and places never been before.
In the Tirio Indian village of Kwamala (Suriname), deep in the Amazon rain forest, Kamanya
lay in his hammock, burning with fever. His mother sat nearby fanning him. “Kamanya,
Kamanya,” she whispered, but he did not answer. She spoke gently to her husband. “It is time.
Take him.” He picked up the boy and carried him to the hut of the shaman—the medicine man.
Softly chanting, the shaman Nahtahlah disappeared into the forest. The returned with leaves,
roots, and bark, which he put into a pot of water boiling on the fire. Stirring and singing, he
asked the sickness to leave the boy. Then Nahtahlah removed the pot from the fire, and when
the mixture had cooled he lifted Kamanya’s head and p
oured the warm medicine into the boy’s mouth. The shaman’s song ended as night came. Kamanya’s parents sat beside him until morning. When the boy awoke, the fever was gone. As the years passed, Kamanya would remember the shaman’s ritual as if it were all a dream. But he never forgot that the shaman saved his life.
Leonor was hurled headlong flaming from the ethereal sky. This is his first offering for
Shango Records. These three tracks will have you questioning your existence. DBRA, Feller and Rabih Rizk know the answer about the existence of life.
