To celebrate X-Mas what is a better option than listening, celebrating and dancing on the electronic bravura from Pierre Vervloesem! The most modern album to enter in the less modern world and year! Merry X-Mas!
Pierre Vervloesem says:
'It sounds like boom boom but you can be sure that it's never the same thing twice.

ODG164 : Ruben Van Rompaey / Orienbient

ODG164 : Ruben Van Rompaey / Orienbient
New album from Dutch electronic composer Ruben Van Rompaey (see also his albums feat. Toshinori Kondo OJP057, OJP061, OJP062 and OJP065) doing a mix of orientalist ambient music, therefore the title of the album: Orienbient! Perfect to bring you to another mood in this cold December month!
From Ruben's words:
"The long-awaited sequel to Tokyo Fusion, Orienbient represents a coalescence between worlds of ambient and oriental music in the broadest sense of the word.
More precisely: ambient with an oriental touch. For this album I wanted to create a fresh musical realm, letting musical outings naturally blend with organic beats, layers of oriental percussion instruments such as riqq and darbuka surrounded by invigorating vibes."
With a strong Pan-Asian, Japanese spirit obviously present as ever, the music takes the listener through mystic, hypnotic sound palettes laced with sonic oscillating structures and mesmerizing melodies.
Listen to the music, close your eyes and…for a brief instant you imagine yourself in another, magical state.

OMT013 : El Gueye / Tameu
Cover art by A.L.
OMT013: El Gueye / Tameu
Tameu is the new single from Senegal star El Gueye (see also OMT005).
It means 'inseparable' in wolof.
A simple story of 2 people that cannot live separately.
A simple story of 2 people that cannot live separately.
El Gueye has already recorded 3 albums and is recognised as one of the best singer and composer in Senegal.
The Senegalese musical heritage is better known than that of most African countries, thanks to the popularity of this mbalax style and Sabar drumming is particularly popular.
El Gueye is preparing a new album that will include lots of new different elements going further away from Mbalax.

ODG163-OUI004 : MACONDO / Macondo Trio
Macondo trio is the union of Beninese drummer Angelo Moustapha, accomplice of Philip Catherine, Lionel Loueke, winner of numerous awards (best drummer in Africa, 2017; Talent d'Afrique, 2021) and Belgian saxophonist Sylvain Debaisieux, essential player in the jazz and improvised music in Belgium (Stéphane Galland, Pentadox, Lynn Cassiers, Ghalia Benali).
For this trio formula, they added the talented Italian double bassist Federico Stocchi (Toots Thielemans Awards 2018).
The sharing and richness of their respective musical journeys created immediate emulation, and their ability to listen and adapt quickly led to a strong musical connection. They joyfully and naturally take the audience into their world rich in polyrhythm and melodious stories.
Inspired by African hymns or trips to Europe, the melodies are built on cyclical and captivating bass lines. The listener is carried away by the flow and energetic sound of the trio, engrossed in repetitive patterns and confusing grooves. They share voices, exchange high-level solos and improvisations, always in a spirit of dialogue and in communion with the public.
