Lavishly painted with dark, emotive and mysterious lyricism, Jem’s vocal conjures intrigue and vivid imagery as he details a cryptic narrative.

His art is an eclectic medium of transportation, showcasing his innate ability to blend both sides of the sword. ‘Secrets’ offers a delicate bridge between worlds, combining the contemporary Western sounds he collected in years living in London, delicately pieced together with his culture, antiquity and the wisdom that lies within his Middle Eastern roots.

“Sometimes I visualise my songs before writing them. With this song, imagery came to me in a dream-like state, and all I did was react musically to how these images made me feel.

When writing Music, I always hark back to a place, a visual, a feeling that reminds me of the warm and embracing state of where I grew up.

By Ferhat Topal

‘I’ve always been interested in the unknown, and the feeling lies between the lines. Music and art are my way of highlighting the beauty that I see, which is often buried with a plain sight for most people.” – Jem

Accompanied with an endlessly colourful, deeply moving and visually aromatic video, ‘Secrets’ offers an authentic and raw glimpse into the Middle East’s sheer beauty, warmth, and enchantment of its people. Directed by the renowned Mu Tunc (Arada, Becoming Duru, Toth: When I Awoke).

Eager to immerse you into his realm, Jem steps out of the shadows ready to share his ‘Secrets’ with all who will bear witness.

Dayron Ortega Guzmán, Maykel Elizarde Ruano, Eduardo Silveir – Guajirando – song by Dayron Ortega Guzmán, Maykel Elizarde Ruano, Eduardo Silveira | Spotify (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, The Latest, World Music|Tags: , , , , , , |

“Strong performance with a small, but explicit Latin character. The combination of acoustic instruments is so spiritual that can immediately teleport us to another world. One may feel endless admiration and pierces of goosebumps, from that -so efficiently transmitted- atmosphere.”

“Сильное исполнение, с небольшой, но явной Латинской составляющей. Игра на акустических инструментах настолько душевная, что сразу телепортирует в другой мир. Слух просто тает от бесконечного восхищения и пробирает до мурашек, настолько качественно передана атмосфера.”

In Havana, recording sessions are done a little differently. Musicians and producers gather at recording studios, where a well-stocked bar and ample Wi-Fi are available in the lobby. A sense of ease and relaxation permeates the air -- people gather not just to produce recordings, but to create art with each other in a communal music experience.

In the case of ESPONTÁNEO, or “spontaneous,” this quasi-live album was sparked while PARMA team members were in Havana for a recording session trip. Dayron Ortega, an accomplished guitarist and PARMA’s Lead Producer for Cuba sessions, invited his friends Maykel Elizarde and Eduardo Silveira to the studio during the session week. Elizarde lives in a remote village in Cuba and his guitar prowess had been virtually unknown until the release of his first album, SOUTH COUNTY, with Ansonica Records. Elizarde and Silveira, a renowned Cuban percussionist, entered the recording room from the lobby, and the three began to play what become a fusion of a recording and a jam session. Dayron began calling out tunes, which his counterparts would listen along to and then respond and embellish. If Elizarde and Silveira didn’t know the tune by name, they would quickly pick up the melody as Ortega started playing, and then would take it in a whole new, energized direction.

ESPONTÁNEO demonstrates a different side of the music production world -- one where the craft of performance itself and the shared musical moment is not lost in the effort for a perfect take. The groove, spice, and free-flowing energy of this album offers a view into the everyday life of the Cuban music-lover.
