Karl Hector & The Malcouns "Sahara Swing" Video

Videoclip per uno dei dischi che più mi ha entusiasmato nell'ultimo periodo



Qualche nota...

Dietro questa sigla si nasconde un’accolita di musicisti krauta, strettamente imparentata con Poets Of Rhythm e Whitefield Brothers.
Il leader – Karl Hector – vanta un’unica oscura pubblicazione nel 1996, un 45 giri accreditato ai misteriosi Funk Pilots.
Escono per Now Again, sussidiaria di Stones Throw, e migliore asilo davvero non potevano trovare per il loro incendiario ibrido tra afro beat, funk e psichedelia.
Dopo il viaggio strumentale di Heliocentrics con Sahara Swing approdiamo in una dimensione parallela e futurista, dove il groove può indubbiamente ricordare i mostri sacri del passato ma gettare le basi per nuove sfrenate danze e rare grooves destinati a restare. Siamo su di un’ipotetica direttiva che da James Brown porta a Fela Kuti, passando per gli arabeschi strumentali di Mulatu Astatke of Ethiopia e le invenzioni del produttore/arrangiatore Jean Claude Vannier (un tempo spalla destra di Serge Gainsbourg). E’ una musica istintiva, che trascina lentamente, mettendo in relazioni mille e più mondi della cultura black. E gli esecutori vantano un curriculum inappuntabile, tanto che sia Poets Of Rhythm che Whitefield Brothers hanno a più riprese collaborato con Dj Shadow, Lyics Born, Mo’ Wax, Ninja Tune, BBE, Daptone e Compost.
