Episode 17 - Global Rhythms Redux

Global Rhythms Redux
 

A couple weeks ago, HoneyKnuckles, ZNote and I, Shelmatic gathered together in the hot, sweaty Pirate Cat Radio studio to kick out some fresh world beats. Each cut it up in their own way, guiding us on an adventurous journey across the globe. Unfortunately, this beautiful episode was lost to us through the tangled web of technology and human error. Yearning to hear those songs again, we decided to bring it back this week with a Global Rhythms Redux edition.

We started off with the melodic and soothing sounds of  UK’s Heliocentrics, who took us to a “Distant Star” and beyond with their stellar Out There album swaying throughout the show. Z-Note came prepared with an arsenal of funky balkan beats mixed with traditional sufi/modern electronic amalgamations created by several talented artists at Turkish DoubleMoon Records. HoneyKnuckles held his own with the brash, fun and outrageous Gogol Bordello and the dance inducing classic, Magdalenha by Sergio Mendez.

The interational vibrations in the studio were enhanced by special guests Diana Diroy and our very own Aisha Heredia. After treating us to a short preview of their upcoming documentary on women community leaders in the Phillipines, they spent some with us talking soup about the composition of the film, the conditions currently faced in the Phillipines and their personal goals for the documentary. Check out the debut this Saturday, June 13, 2009 at the Manilatown Heritage Foundation located at 868 Kearney (@ Jackson) from 4-6pm.

    OK, check it out. I want the crew to listen to Red Astaire’s “Mambo” again and then listen to The Champ’s 1950′s classic “Tequila”. Since The Champs were, in essence, a Latin R&B group, it’s probably not surprising that the opening riffs are very similar.

    Also, just to bring everything full circle, last month Shelmatic featured some sampling of The Main Ingredient’s version of “Summer Breeze” in a Biggie joint. Seals & Croft, who wrote and performed the original “Summer Breeze” in the 70′s were members of The Champs. (Although they joined shortly after Tequila was orignally recorded.)

    Everything that goes around, comes around.

    Peace

    Good ear RockManCat. Tequila is one of those timeless throwbacks. I still remember that weird scene in Pee Wee’s Great Adventure where he dances to that song trying to win over a bar full of bikers who are trying to kill him.
