La Danza Poetica #39 La Reflexión
Pausing for reflection in January 2016, a mix of tracks that I couldn’t include in the feature shows of ’15, that are still on high rotation in my mind. Travel across the world, in folk music, poetry, dub and electronics, poets and musicians from Australia via Poland, Australia via Greece, and indigenous Australia. Indigenous Canada, Brazil, Palestine, Morocco, Kurdistan, Greece, Brooklyn, Hungary, France … Let’s begin this new cycle by activating the fire within, thinking not of the past, of what we did or didn’t achieve in our last trip around the sun, but of the future, which is to say, the now:
¡La danza!

A mix of sublime, poetic music and word from Morocco, Tunisia, Syria. Poetry and music are inextricably intertwined, in a constant dance, in music, language and rhythm, and life. Sukitoa o Namau’s field recordings from and around Meknés, Morocco, form the canvas on which this whole mix has been painted. Also featuring Moroccan slam poet Mustapha Slameur, very conscious and complex folktronics / electronics from Tunisia’s Ghoula and NURI, the France/Morocco collaboration of Titi Robin and Mehdi Nassouli, Syria’s Muudra paying tribute to Vîyan Peyman, and reworking Emel Mathlouthi’s great song ‘Layem’, DJ Tudo connecting Morocco with Brazil, plus, 'honoured ghost' Paul Bowles' sweet and sad little poems, and classic recordings from Morocco released by the Dust to Digital project.
