African Music

Hi Guys,

My friend and great great musician (bass, guitar and vocal) ?tienne Mbapp? with who I did some gig with Joe Zawinul and we have a band name Chic Hot has his first record out !!!

He come from Cameroon and if somebody heard about the great african-jazz band name Ultramarine (with the awesome Mokhtar Samba on drums), he was on the bass with them.

So his record is named Misiya ("Cries"), I play all the tracks (with drums).

Well, I let a song that I find not too bad.
I hope that you will like it !!!
Thanks for listenning, and thanks for reading me.
Take care everybody.

[img]biggrin.gif[/img] Nice tune... Love your playing!!

Nice 6/8 and at that speed I find you kept it flowing nicely... Love those ghost notes too. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] And you gotta post more Chic Hot tunes. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

PS: Roger... What happened to "Les Bleus"??? [img]graemlins/wonder.gif[/img] Too many stars on that team?

I love the music.
when I listened first, at 1.15, I didn't noticed the change and it was a big surprise,
to listen to it, because I heard it with my feeling from the beginning.
I love in general music from africa, a lot of them are from mali.
It must be a good countrey for musicians.
oumou sangare for example.
it's not pop music, but I didn't found too much pop music here.
I only know youssouf n'dour, salif keita and a few some others, I forgot the names.
thank you for your advice with ultramarine.
I hope, I can get them here.

I saw Etienne with Zawinul last year and he is absolutely incredible. I don't know if that night was special or what!, but he's one of the best bass players that I've heard.

I can't listen music in this computer now but I'm sure this is a great record and I'll look forward to listen it. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

Wow! Incredible playing, Roger. That is some serious grooving. Will we be able to get this cd stateside?


And I agree with Beat Hit. We NEED more Chic Hot tunes. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

VERY nice playing Shawn, and great music too. I thought your 6/8 groove ideas were really cool!

I'd love to hear the rest of the disc.

Really cool music and drumming. Great job! Lots of changes in the music and I really dug the afro-cuban groove. Very funky stuff.

Wow!! That is one heck of a nice piece of music, along with some incredible drumming! Post more please! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
