Joe Bataan is like the CD title says, "King Of Latin Soul". The Afro-Fillipino singer, born and raised in Spanish Harlem, New York, was as tough as his neighbourhood. His two loves were his gang and music. The music of Harlem split into two -West Harlem was African-American soul/funk/rhythm & blues/doo-wop, East Harlem was Cuban and Puerto Rican. In the 1960s, Joe alongside a host of 2nd generation Latinos, loved equally soul, funk and rhythm and blues AND mambo, guaguanco and guaracha. It was inevitable that a new US latin sound would emerge that fused these different genres, and that sound was latin soul, eventually becoming boogaloo (or bugalu). Joe Bataan was right there at the start, recording for Fania Records in 1967, until 1973, then as latin soul and bugalu became latin funk and latin disco, he switched to Mericana Records, which became the legendary disco label Salsoul Records. The rest is history.

This new CD is Joe re-recording all his big hits with Spanish rare groove band Los Fulanos and its on Madrid funk/soul label Vampi Soul. If you like Joe Bataan or latin soul or latin disco, buy it. Its good. The band are kicking, Joe's voice is still strong (though wobbles on a couple of tracks), and the production is BIG! The new versions of classics are excellent - "Subway Joe" sounds almost as good as the original, as do "Mestizo" and "Gypsy Woman". He does a good version of "The Bottle", which is a vocal unlike his mid-70s instrumental "La Botella" hit. There's a kicking salsa-jam, the uptempo "Puerto Rico Me Llama" - nice descarga. I was well impressed by the whole CD - Joe Bataan, the punchy arrangements, the firing band, the excellent crisp production. Like the title says, Joe Bataan is still "King Of Latin Soul".

About Big Pimp Jones
Our goal has always been taking some hip-hop lyrics and putting them on top of funk. We're talking about that funk where you interrupt yourself to say something like "aaaaawwwwwWWWW YEAH!", stop macking, then run across the room to the DJ booth to see what that funky-ass record is, cause you gotta have it! We've been doing this thang for about 10 years now, just doing our best to give some funk back to hip-hop (since hip-hop's been in a taking mood with the funk). >>>>Now, for some fun facts about Big Pimp Jones: 1. We used to go by the name 'K.R.O. and the House band of the Apocalypse'. 2. We've released 2 albums on tape (on longer available), 8 albums on CD, 1 single under the name K.R.O. and 2 double-sided singles under assumed names. 3. We reside in the Philadelphia area. 4. We're the only band in history to have all five band members be named People magazine's 'Sexiest man of the year' (over different years, of course). 5. We're from the future. 6. Our malt liquor of choice is Hurricane. 7. We would run up on people, do a rambo, whip out the jammy and flat-blast them fools, but we don't want to mess up our $3700 Lynx coats.

Let's Go Get It - FOREVER

Hoje hasteamos essa bandeira no blog, com o preto do luto pela perda de um dos maiores parceiros que nosso universo de blogs musicais já teve até hoje: LET’S GO GET IT.
Inadvertidamente, e cogita-se até mesmo que por motivações pessoais de alguns pseudo-artistas da nova safra de música, o blog LET’S GO GET IT (dirigido por Hank) foi retirado do ar, juntamente com seu conteúdo.
Today we sten up this flag, with the black color for the mourning in losing one of the most important partners in the universe of music blogs: LET’S GO GET IT.
Inadvertently, and maybe for personal motivations of one of this pseudo-artists of the new generation of music, the blog LET’S GO GET IT (headed by Hank) was shut off.

O protesto que fazemos hoje, tem com base um novo modelo de consumo de músicas, que se dissemina a cada dia, por cada canto do planeta. Enquanto nossos blogs forem vistos como vilões nessa cadeia de consumo, nós do AFBJ estaremos de pé para a luta. Nós e muitos, muitos outros blogs parceiros.
The protest that we do today, is based on a new model of consumption of music, that spreads every day, every corner of the planet. While our blogs are seen as villains in this chain of consumption, we in AFBJ will stand up for the fight. We and many, many other blogs partners.

Abaixo, temos um breve (e muito esclarecedor) retrato de como um disco vaza na internet. Avaliando essa cadeia, percebemos que os blogs, são apenas a ponta final da história toda.
Below is a brief (and very enlightening) picture of how a record leaks on the Internet. Evaluating this chain, we realize that blogs are just the tip end of the story.




Nós do AFBJ, nunca fomos radicais, e sempre abrimos espaço para que o artista se manifeste caso não lhe agrade ter seu disco divulgado por nós. Entretanto, podemos assegurar-lhes, que dos mais de 200 discos já postados aqui no blog, apenas 3 artistas solicitaram a retirada dos links de download. Ou seja, menos de 2% dos artistas por nós divulgados GRATUITAMENTE, avaliam nossa atividade como sendo negativa, diante das expectativas financeiras que há por trás dos seus trabalhos. Os outros 98%, já conseguem avaliar novas formas de fazer a engrenagem capital do mundo musical girar, apenas mudando peças do processo, e conceitos ultrapassados.
We at AFBJ, have never been radical, and always open space for the artist to be revealed if they do not like to have their disc released by us. However, we can assure you that in more than 200 recordings already posted here on the blog, only 3 artists requested the withdrawal of the download links. That is, less than 2% of the artists we disclosed FREE, evaluate our business to be negative, given the financial expectations that are behind their work. The other 98%, can evaluate new ways to gear the music capital of the turn, just changing parts of the process, and outdated concepts.

O trabalho que nossos blogs fazem, é o de disseminar cultura a quem antes não teria acesso.
O trabalho que nossos blogs fazem, é o de divulgar os novos artistas que surgem em um contexto que já não mais reconhece barreiras geográficas.
O trabalho que nossos blogs fazem, é o de democratizar o acesso a arte, na esperança de que se criem novas gerações mais conscientes de seu papel no mundo.
The work that our blogs do, is to spread culture to those who previously would not have access.
The work that our blogs do, is to promote the new artists to emerge in a context that no longer recognizes barriers.
The work that our blogs do, is to democratize access to art, hoping to create new generations aware of their role in the world.

A música tem o poder de realizar grandes revoluções, e nós estamos vivendo uma exatamente agora.
Music has the power to make major breakthroughs, and we are living one right now.

Convidamos todos os visitantes do blog, a “hastearem” simbolicamente essa bandeira em seus blogs, seus espaços de trabalho, suas casas, ou em qualquer outro espaço relevante de suas vidas.
Juntos, somos maiores do que todos eles.
We invite all visitors to the blog, the "stem" symbolically that flag on your blogs, your workspaces, your homes, or in any other area relevant to their lives.
Together, we are bigger than all of them.

LET'S GO GET IT FOREVER

Registrem seus protestos, e mandem as fotos para mrafrofunky@gmail.com
Publicaremos todas em um novo blog, que será criado para registrar o protesto com a participação real de todos nós.

Register your protests, and send the photos to mrafrofunky@gmail.com
We'll publish all in a new blog, which will be created to register the protest with the real participation of all of us.

Review by Alex Henderson
These days, the blues market often functions as a sanctuary for R&B artists who still provide soul and/or funk as we knew it in the '60s and '70s. Sounding a lot like Sam & Dave or Wilson Pickett won't get you on urban contemporary radio — actually, it will probably keep you off urban radio — but it might result in a gig at the Chicago Blues Festival or a contract with Alligator Records. For Etta James, refusing to embrace urban contemporary-style R&B has meant two things: (1) zero airplay on modern black stations, and (2) an enthusiastic following in the blues market. James has always been more of an R&B singer than a blues singer, but because she's so rootsy by today's standards, this 2003 release will get much of its support from blues fans. James, who turned 65 on January 25, 2003, is in fine form throughout the CD. Over the years, James has worked with a variety of producers, but she produced Let's Roll herself — and the result is one of her most rock-minded releases. A few of the tracks have a blues-rock outlook, including "The Blues Is My Business" and a gutsy performance of Billy Beck's early-'50s hit "Stacked Deck." But much of the time, James favors a rock-influenced approach to Southern soul. In fact, many of the selections recall Ike & Tina Turner's '60s and early-'70s output, especially "Strongest Weakness," "Lie No Better," and "Somebody to Love" (not to be confused with the psychedelic Jefferson Airplane classic). James' longtime fans will be happy to know that she is very much on top of her game throughout this excellent CD.

One of the best James Brown soul LPs from the 70's, with a great mix of funky tracks and deeper soul tracks. The latter is represented by the classics "Public Enemy #1" and "King Heroin", both hard soul political tracks. The funk is represented by "Talkin' Loud & Sayin' Nothing", "There It Is", and James's version of "I Need Help" (which was also recorded by Bobby Byrd). Another great reissue of an album we hardly ever see in good shape.

DJ PR!MO

Hoje faz 1 ano que Dj Primo nos deixou,ja li muita coisa hj, muita coisa de conteúdo outras nen tanto,vi muito ''rip'' aqui ''rip'' ali,e engracado a iproquisia de certas pessoas "djs" muitos que falavan mal do cara agora so fica nesse tal de ''rip'' aqui e ali....
Vo contar a minha experencia, no ano de 2004 começei um projeto na cidade que morava na época São José dos Campos. O projeto comecou no antigo Café Cancun,que me deu a quinta-feira o dia + esculhanbado que tinha la não ia ninguen no pico esse dia.
Eu e o meu parceiro dj cirilo que tocava neste dia e tivemos a ideia de começar trazer un djs convidados,andando la pela galeria estávamos na cash beat da saudosa flora quando chegou o Primo conversamos ele saiu e o cirilo falo mano vamo chamar o Primo !!! falei po cirilo o cara e dj do D2 vai meter a faca não temos grana pra pagar...mesmo assin conversamos e fechamos um valor lembro q ele me disse que queria tocar na cidade.
Tudo fechado data e tudo + mandei fazer os flyers,mas aconteceu a parada + loca que ja vi,a casa abriu normalmente quinta sexta e sabado quando acabou a festa de sábado o dono do pico que e o mesmo maluco que e dono do cafe cancun de Goiania,feechou o pico encostou uns caminhoes empacotaran tudo e ja era o cafe cancun,detalhe a festa seria na proxima quinta.
Nesse meio tempo abriu uma nova casa e eu fiquei na cabeça do dono deste pico pra transferir o projeto para la,consegui no ano seguinte,e e deran a quinta porque do mesmo jeito do cafe cancun era o pior dia da casa e la pior ainda, no exato dia 14 de janeiro de 2005 começou a festa Black Deluxe na Aquarius Club com dj Primo tocando em 4 toca-discos e casa estrunbada.
Para a cidade foi um evento que ninguen acreditava, nem os donos da casa nem a imprensa,nem os "manos "do rap alias esses torceran contra...enfim ninguen.
E a festa ficou por 2 anos bombada Dj Primo tocava a cada 45 60 dias, e por la passou os melhores dj do brasil.

Obrigado Dj Primo por acreditar em nos.

- Clique Aki

A wonderfully wicked collection of tunes — all solid 80s groovers from a variety of Italian groups — most of whom we'd never heard before! The style here isn't the cheesy electronic Italian disco you might know from crossover chart hits — but a bass-heavy, boogie-grooving, post-disco style that's filled with the same great jazzy riffs and keyboard parts you'd expect from American club soul of the time. Grooves often roll into some tightly snapping rollerskating rhythms — and although most instrumentation is electric, including the percussion, the overall sound is wonderfully soulful throughout. Titles include "Don't You Want My Lovin (dance mix)" by Michael Baker, "Gimme Your Love (voc disco mix)" by The Gong's Gang, "Dig It" by Kasso, "Silly Reason" by George Aaron, "My Mind" by Korja, "Love Shot (club)" by The Armed Gang, "Miss Manhattan" by Metropole, "Ride The Beam" by Selection, "Hang On It" by Trance, and "Dance On The Beat" by Boeing.

Street Songs became the biggest R&B album of that year, staying at the top of the charts for 20 consecutive weeks and since then the album has gone multi-platinum.

The sound quality is amazing, much clearer than the first copies of this CD in the mid-80s.The songs are all here!
There's the bass-heavy "Give It To Me, Baby", the street anthem "Ghetto Life" (which surely inspired a lot of the hip-hop that was soon to follow),the nice slow jam "Make Love To Me", and the reggae-tinged "Mr. Policeman", which, must have inspired latter rap songs about police brutality.
Then there is the masterpiece, the New Wave-styled "Super Freak", which still sounds fresh and new after all these years. The duet with Teena Marie "Fire and Desire" is steamy and intense, even if they do go a little overboard, vocally. "Call Me Up" is sexy and to the point, while "Below The Funk(Pass The J)" is a perfect album closer, another badass street anthem that reflects the mood of the album. Fortunately, the fun doesn't end there.
At the end of this first disc, there are bonus 12" versions of the hits "Give It To Me Baby" and "SuperFreak". The 7-minute remix of "SuperFreak" is particularly fierce, with the catchy sing-along hook "SuperFreak,the girl's a SuperFreak....SuperFreak,the girl's a SuperFreak".
Rick James had already reached the top of the R&B charts numerous times before STREET SONGS, but this 1981 release was the crossover breakthrough that earned him pop stardom. This is where his mix of P-Funk grooves and Blowfly lyrics hitched ... Full Descriptionits wagon to some surefire pop hooks without losing any of the funk. The album is best remembered for its two enduring hits, "Give It To Me Baby" and "Super Freak," but the action doesn't stop there. James unleashes his inner Barry White on "Fire and Desire," a romance-dripping slow-jam duet with Teena Marie, and the tight, funky grooves of "Below the Funk" and "Call Me Up" are as irresistible as those of the album's better-known tracks. Oh, and just in case anyone wants to stop dancing long enough to think about it, STREET SONGS is supposedly a concept album about the street life of ladies of the night and their, um, business managers.

VA - Sensacional Soul Vol.2

Artist: VA
Title Of Album: Sensacional Soul Vol.2
Year Of Release: August 11, 2009
Label: Vampisoul
Genre: Spanish funk, soul, r&b

Hard hitting Spanish funk, soul, r&b and moddish gems - the second volume of Sensacional Soul from the late 60s and into early 70s, even better than the first volume - and a treasure from the folks at Vampi Soul! The Spanish soul sound here is rugged and raw, usually with furious drums, gritty, usually Spanish language vocals and punchy bits of horn - some with fuzzed out guitar and organ grooves that give them more of a garagey r&b style. Whether it's primarily in a funk mode or more of a mod r&b dancefloor style, it's really exciting stuff all the way! Includes "Hey Hey Bunny" by Los Gatos Negros, "Sintonia En Soul" by Jae's Soul, "Bugulu" by Los Albas, "Soul" by Chus Martinez, "Rudi's In Love" by Los Bravos, "Limon Y Sal" by La Nueva Banda De Santisben, "Donkey" by Henry C Martin, "El Sol Es Una Droga" by Los Kifers, "No, No, No" by Los Pops, "Para Siempre" by Wagon, "I'm Walking High" by Evolution", "El Fuegy" by Los 5 Diablos and much more. 32 tracks on 2CDs with a thick booklet of notes & photos.

Legend has it that, in the mid-sixties, James Brown's exposure to West African highlife musicians, such as Orlando Julius and Tony Allen, led him to transform his already potent brand of soul into a new music now referred to as funk. Likewise, during his 1969 trip to the United States, Fela Kuti's introduction to American funk and soul, in particular the Godfather’s own music, compelled him to reshape his highlife jazz into a controversial new style he would call afrobeat.

Noticing this undeniable link, the Souljazz Orchestra thus decided to bridge the gap between the worlds of funk and afrobeat, all the while staying open to the exploration of related genres, from boogaloo to soul, from highlife to jazz. Combined with lyrics touching on politics and spirituality, the resulting music is raw and dirty afrofunk like you've never heard before.

Formed in 2002, the Ottawa-based band has since had the honour of sharing the stage with Femi Kuti, Dele Sosimi (of the Egypt 80), Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Etta James, Alpha YaYa Diallo, John Lee Hooker Jr., and more. The group has toured across the Canadian nation, from Halifax's Atlantic Jazz Festival to Calgary’s Afrikadey. Now, with international dates in the works, the Souljazz Orchestra is set to bring its earthquaking afrofunk sound to the rest of the world.

The group released its latest album, Freedom No Go Die, in September of 2006. This high-energy release features the vocal stylings of Rwandan/Burundian musician Mighty Popo, as well as those of soul sisters Marielle Rivard and Alanna Stuart. The album has since created quite a stir on the international DJ scene: "firing horns, funky keyboards and polyrhythmic beats to rock dance floors" enthused Straight No Chaser, "a sound as tight as the power fists that adorn the cover" raved Exclaim. IDJ has also sung the album’s praises: "A marching groove and firing horns evoke not only the spirit of a certain Mr. Anikulapo-Kuti, but also a packed shrine going nuts. Amazing stuff." The listeners of Gilles Peterson’s BBC radio show actually voted the album’s opening track, Mista President, as one of the top ten tracks of the year.

Originally a jazzy trip-hop act, The Herbaliser now makes a kind of horn-drenched hyperfunk. The songs- and they are real songs, not just tracks- reference everything from Tower of Power and Chicago to Aretha Franklin and Quincy Jones.

In this release, The Herbaliser is moving away from rap. There are only three rap tracks on the CD and they are bearable. The rest of the album is all excellent, with great instrumentals and vocal tracks.

The formula is an energetic and upbeat mix of hip-hop and funk, with a lot of inspiration/sampling from seventies film music and fifties big band sound.

Opening is the title track which is largely a funky instrumental with darting horns, organ and an incredible bassline. There are 3 other instrumentals; "The next spot" (with an almost Afrobeat feel), the awesome "Amores Bongo" (a delightful guitar/horn/percussion mix that sounds like it should be some movie soundtrack), and the more mellow "Blackwater drive".

Five songs feature vocalist Jessica Darling, "On your knees", "Can't help this feeling", "You're not all that", "Clap your hands" (these four are retro funk ditties James Brown/Sly & The Family Stone-style) and the sprawling 6 minute plus opus "Stranded on Earth" (a psychedelic sounding number with deep bass, Hip hop beats kicking in about 2 minutes in, and Jessica's few vocals coming in the final 2 minutes). This song is simply amazing!

There are a trio of Hip hop numbers "Just won't stop" features Yungun aka Essa, a Rap touching on the changes technology has brought to social life (Youtube, Myspace, etc). "Street karma (a cautionary tale)" is a midtempo rap with a creepy vibe, horns and sound effects (a car revving, kids playing, etc) adding to the drama. It features Jean Grae on vocals, and is a tale about the violent life on the streets. "Game set and match" features More or Les in a spitfire Rap delivery and some nice guitar effects.

Beneath the curiously comic name, cabaret presentation and funky instrumentals, lurks a band of the sort that used to be signed by major record labels. A band whose sound and style develop from one album to the next, a band whose career evolves and matures. If The Voodoo Trombone Quartets debut was described as a "future cult classic" (Future Music) then Again must surely be, simply, a classic. The long-awaited and keenly anticipated second album from The Voodoo Trombone Quartet fulfills the tantalising promise of their progressively more polished 10" vinyl EPs: The Phantom (2007) and Vibrations (2008). Again showcases wonderful songwriting on tracks like So Innocent or South Westerly (the forthcoming summer single that has radio written all over it) and sees the band shake off their early ska tag. The songs here are at once accessible and positive without being either trite or corny. They are unashamedly grown-up pop, without being boring or middle aged. They have the confident smile of youthfulness playing across their faces; bold, bright funk; tight production and warm vinyl flavors and even include a reggae-tinged take on the Rocksteady Crews eighties b-boy anthem.

Press Release :

Back in 2000, West London's funky, forward-thinking, experimental hip-hop collective The Herbaliser released their acclaimed double-vinyl album Session 1. Recorded in raw and organic studio jams, these expansive instrumentals marked the group's evolution from studio boffins to full big-band line-up. The Guardian called the album "sterling proof that this kind of music invariably sounds better played by musicians than by a sampler" while Yahoo described it as an "effortlessly cool, super smooth journey around the set of an unmade Blaxploitation movie".

Almost a decade later, The Herbaliser are in the middle of another new musical evolution. On their 2008 album Same As It Never Was, founder members Jake Wherry and Ollie Teeba concentrated more than ever on classic soul-pop songwriting, with greater collaborative input from long-time horn players Ralph Lamb and Andy Ross, plus new vocalist Jessica Darling. Understandably, they now want to capture this latest live chapter on record.

And the title? Well as Session 1 was always meant to be the start of a series the second instalment had to be called Session 2, naturally. "Back when we recorded the first session we wanted to have a dоcument of what the band sounded like", says Jake, "but properly recorded in a studio environment, essentially doing what we do live but recorded really well. The boundaries are a bit less distinct now, because we are a lot more musical in our approach. There are still samples involved in our writing, but less than before".

Session 2 spans more than a decade of Herbaliser live favourites, from the underground beats and breaks of their 1997 album Blow Your Headphones to the more lush, soulful grooves of Same As It Never Was. "It's interesting that some of these songs are 12 years old, and some just one year old, yet it still feels coherent as an album", says Jake.

One recurring thread across the album is a clear love of cinematic moods and atmospheres - whether in funky, revved-up, infectious party grooves like "Geddim" and "Amores Bongo" or in psychedelic sci-fi epics like "Moon Sequence" and "Theme From Control Centre". This may be booty-shaking club music at heart, but many of these tracks are as dense and richly detailed as the classic movie scores of Quincy Jones, John Barry or Lalo Schifrin.

"One thing Ollie and I agreed when we started was we didn't want people to just drop a needle on one of our records and hear the same loop over and over, like many records in the 1990s", says Jake. "We wanted to have changes, like soundtracks or movie themes. With all our instrumentals, we're always writing music for scenes in imaginary films".

Although Jake and Ollie have worked with many MC's and a couple of singers in recent years, they kept the arrangements on Session 2 as pure instrumentals. Future instalments in the series, Jake says, will concentrate on The Herbaliser's strong track record of vocal collaborations. But this album is a true sequel to Session 1 in both sound and spirit.

"The first Session record was instrumental as well, because we didn't have a singer then, so we thought it was important to carry on that tradition," says Jake. "We wanted to create a sound both onstage and live that synchronised both live instruments as well as samples."

Session 2 is another Herbaliser classic, the sound of an ever-evolving band at the peak of their powers. Forget the old Hollywood rule: sometimes a sequel can be just as good as the original.

Jake Wherry - Bass and lead guitar
Ollie Teeba - Turntables
Jessica Darling - Vocals
Ralph Lamb - Horn, Trumpet, Flugelhorn
Andy Ross - Flute, Tenor, Baritone Sax
