“You can endlessly listen and enjoy the duet of the violin and piano, whose dance can be compared with the marriage period of two swans on the crystal lake. Imagine how the white carpet of fog is spreading off the shores and somewhere there, behind his veil, a magic melody is heard -tomasz betka-. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Можно бесконечно слушать и наслаждаться дуэтом скрипки и фортепиано, чей танец можно сравнить с брачным периодом двух лебедей на хрустальном озере. Представьте, как стелится белый ковёр тумана у его берегов и где-то там, за его пеленой слышна волшебная мелодия -Tomasz Betka-.”

Although this is the first studio album from the renowned band, they have been a unique fusion of influences and talents in constant evolution since their start in 2008. The band currently consists of 10 musicians from 10 countries, carrying music from the streets to the stage to the hearts of people. Even though the musicians come from many different countries and cultures, it is through music that they speak the same language. It is a tangible, traveling representation of the Playing For Change mission: to inspire, connect and bring peace to the world through music.

The Real Revolution features members of the Playing For Change Band as well as special guests. The core group of 10 musicians from 10 countries recorded the new album over the course of five years as they toured the world to several different countries. The worldly influences are prominent in shaping The Real Revolution sound, and the body of work is a reflection of the power of the human spirit, witnessed first hand throughout their global travels.

The PFC Band recorded at the famous Tuff Gong Studio and teamed up with members of Damian Marley’s band to create an album that is a fusion of various languages and cultures, combining world music and reggae. Bob Marley has been one of the most pivotal figures in the DNA of Playing For Change and The Real Revolution is a celebration in that spirit of transforming people with music from the inside out. The record was produced by Mark Johnson, Mermans Mosengo, and Robin Moxey. Mixed by Greg Morgenstein at Astound Studios, Los Angeles, and mastered by Greg Morgenstein in Los Angeles.

The full album is 10 songs stacked with potent messages centered around unity and social justice that vibrate to the core of the Playing For Change Band. The powerful lead single, showcasing the vocals of Congolese musicians Mermans Mosengo and Jason Tamba and also titled “The Real Revolution,” lives in the spirit of the people and offers an empowering message. Reflecting on the new song, Mark Johnson comments, “I wrote this song a few years ago knowing that I would have the full power of Mermans Mosengo and Jason Tamba's voices and their shared conviction to tell the story. The Real Revolution lives in the spirit of the people and true change comes from within. Fear is the enemy.”

The second release, “Me Pierdo,” written by Pierre Minetti, is a perfect blend of reggae and Latin music and speaks of the journey to our inner nature and the longing for freedom while feeling lost in a world full of injustice and stress. Tula Ben Ari comments, “I introduced the song to the band back in 2009 and it became a favorite in the band’s live show!”

The Real Revolution album will be released alongside the focus track “Run” due out on June 24, 2022. “Run” is an uplifting song written by PFC Band member Claire Finley that inspires feelings of hopefulness, focusing on the good in life instead of dwelling on the past. She comments, “When writing the song ‘Run,’ I thought it would be cool to play with the concept of running towards the good things in life instead of only focusing on getting away from bad thoughts or situations holding you back. In life, I believe it’s very important to think about the things you aspire to instead of continuing to dwell on situations of the past.”

The release of The Real Revolution album commences the 20 year anniversary of Playing For Change, with exclusively designed cover art by Neville Garrick (longtime Art Director for Bob Marley and the Wailers), and perfectly represents the PFC belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people.

Punku – Tutamanta (Bang Data Remix)

Categories: Audio, Electronica, The Latest|Tags: , , |

“Some crazy combination of various genre vocal parties, ranging from ethnic motifs and ending with recitative from HIP-Hop music. We advise you to do as louder as possible to feel all the power of the rhythm of Global Bass and Downtempo. Your ears will thank you! (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Какое-то сумасшедшее сочетание разно жанровых вокальных партий, начиная от этнических мотивов и заканчивая речитативом из Hip-Hop музыки. Советуем сделать как можно громче, чтобы ощутить всю мощь ритмов Global Bass и Downtempo. Ваши уши скажут вам спасибо!”

Six Degrees Records is proud to announce the second single from Punku, a new project created by Sylvia Falcón and Grimaldo del Solar (Novalima) that mixes Andean traditional music with ancestral instruments and modern genres including electronic music and rock. “Tutamanta” is the follow-up release to their debut single “Ancestral,” and further teases their upcoming album dropping in June. The single is out on May 10th and will later be followed by a remix from Bay Area duo Bang Data.

Sylvia explains the inspiration for the song, “‘Tutamanta’ means dawn or darkness in Quechua. The lyrics are a musical interpretation of a Quechua poem called ‘Pachapa Warmi Churin’ (Daughter of Time) by Nora Alarcón; an organic farmer, journalist, composer and dedicated to the defense of Andean intangible cultural heritage. The lyrics evokes the story of a woman that finds inspiration in nature (dawn/darkness) to create (in this case writing) and help her find inner peace.”

“Tutamanta” is different from anything either artist has created. The single isn’t exclusively what Sylvia or Grimaldo would create by themselves, but a blend of both of their styles and a reflection of their influences. They explain, “The main idea of the song was created at Grimaldo´s home studio in Lima and then finalized during recording sessions at Kanaku Estudio; which belongs to the critically acclaimed band Kanaku y El Tigre. Their studio has a certain vibe being located 100 feet from Huaca Pucllana, a pre Inka temple in the center of the commercial district Miraflores in Lima. In addition, their studio has a vast array of analog equipment from preamps to channels to compressors that create a unique sound.” The result on “Tutamanta” is a mesmerizing track that pulses with deep tones, hypnotic qualities, and Sylvia’s striking voice.

Sylvia Falcón is a vocalist who brings a wealth of talent and history to the duo. Her music has travelled from the traditional songs of the Peruvian Andes, through the mestizo folk melodies and the Andean coloratura repertoire. Sylvia’s impressive vocal range (4 octaves) can be appreciated in her four solo studio albums; Killa Lluqsimun "When the Moon Rises" (2008), Inkario (2014), Fantasía Pokcra (2016) and Qori Coya "Golden Lady” (2018). Sylvia Falcón was born in Lima and has developed a strong bond with the Andes due to the influence of her parents, who were born in Huancavelica and Ayacucho provinces. Sylvia Falcón is also an anthropologist focused on the study of traditional musicians in the Peruvian Andes. As an artist she is devoted to capturing and projecting the beauty of the ancient Inca culture.

Grimaldo is a Lima born producer and musician, who started playing guitar at 14. Soon after he worked with many bands that played a pivotal part in the 80s underground metal hardcore punk, and the 90s psychedelic/acid-rock Peruvian scenes. During the late 90s, Grimaldo started exploring traditional Peruvian music through an electronic music lens, which led to creating Novalima, a collective that fuses traditional Afro Peruvian music with DJ culture. Their discography spans 5 albums, which led them to touring internationally. Novalima has inspired a generation and has revolutionized the music scene in Peru by bridging a longstanding divide between the mainstream and the minority Afro-Peruvian community, who have struggled against discrimination and cultural dissolution for generations.

As Grimaldo was experimenting with new Quechua rhythms in Novalima, he found Sylvia Falcón and invited her to collaborate on the single “Chusay.” After working together at several concerts with Novalima, Grimaldo and Sylvia wanted to join forces to continue a new sound they were developing and Punku was born.

The duo concludes, “we hope our entire musical project contributes to reflecting a tiny ray of light to uplifting the spirit in these times.” Stay tuned for more music, videos, and the debut album from Punku dropping June 17th on Six Degrees Records.

“When you hear beautiful chords, you feel amazing harmony with all your notes, you automatically immerse yourself in the entire track. And if all this sounds in conjunction with a beautiful vocals and accompanied by Organic House rhythms, then the price is too high to let it miss out of the field of vision.

А если всё это звучит в совокупности с красивым вокалом и в сопровождение ритмов Organic House, то цена такому треку слишком высока, чтобы пропустить его из поля своего зрения.”

Parks N’ Rec – Deep Sea Diver

Categories: Audio, Rock, The Latest|Tags: , |

“We tend to feel fear for the unknown, but a discomforting experience can also make us stronger. The new single from "Parks N' Rec" is a descent into the unexplored depths of the sea. An opportunity of self-discovery appearing with beautiful Indie Folk sound.”

-Nagamag.com

Parks N’ Rec is the new project from Canadian singer Marco DiFelice (Supergarage), songwriter, music supervisor (Orphan Black, Lost Girl). In collaboration with several producers at Self Titled Studios, Parks N’ Rec deals with lost love, polarizing societies, and self-renewal.

His new song, “Deep Sea Diver,” was created while DiFelice was staying in Belize, though lyrically it had been brewing in his mind for over two years. It explores themes of loneliness and courage; it’s a song about DiFelice’s attempt at ego death.

Belize is a place where the sea is dotted with cayes and a history of courageous and adventurous divers exploring there. DiFelice was specifically interested in how a lot of those people are breaking through barriers of their own mind and body. He felt lucky to be around that culture and to have an opportunity to understand the obsession with “what’s underneath.” Through these experiences, DiFelice was trying to walk himself through his fear of the deep sea. He then created a magical place where fear and beauty collided as he daydreamed under the sea.
