Paris DJs Soundsystem - Do The Tighten Up!
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2009-06-11
Tighten Up was a summer 1968 number one R&B and pop hit single by Archie Bell & the Drells from Houston, Texas. It sold a million copies by May 1968. The song described an accompanying dance that the band had invented, also called the Tighten Up. It's one of the most addictive early funk tracks ever, and has been covered and played by everyone from Maceo Parker to The Bamboos since then. Here's a 30mn blended selection of our favourite funk and latin versions...

Manu Boubli - Tribute To Henri Guedon

File under : Salsa/Zouk
Info :
Percussionniste, peintre et poète, Henri Guedon est mort il y a quelques jours à Paris. L'homme qui a amené le son Fania à Paris, le premier musicien français à avoir joué avec les maitres de la musique afro-cubaine (Sabu Martinez, Ray Barretto, Marty Sheller...) méritait qu'on lui adresse un ultime salut... Entre classiques et raretés (l'album qu'il a fait avec le brésilien Solon Gonçalves à Paris!), "Ça Ka Zouké" sur le son des Antilles!
Percussionnist, painter and poet, Henri Guedon died a few days ago in Paris. The man who brought the Fania sound to Paris, the first French musician to play with the masters of the afro-cuban music (Sabu Martinez, Ray Barretto, Marty Sheller...) deserved an ultimate au revoir... Between classics and rarities (the album he did with Brazilian Solon Gonçalves in Paris!), "Ça Ka Zouké" on the sound of the Antilles!

The Nuyorican Funk Experience - Raw Latin Funk Direct From NYC
(Nascente 2003) Selected by Adrian Gibson
Le volume 3 de l'excellente série "NuYorican Funk Experience" puise encore abondamment dans le répertoire des labels Fania, Tico et Vaya, viviers de la meilleure scène latino new yorkaise des années 70. La plupart des albums dont sont issus les 15 titres présentés ici n'ayant pour la plupart jamais été réédités, hormis le "Live at Yankee Stadium" de Mongo Santamaria, les amateurs de rare groove latin funk et autres chercheurs fous de breakbeats épicés y trouveront assurément leur bonheur! Les autres passeront sans doute leur chemin, la plupart des artistes présents dans ce volume 3 ayant été abondamment compilés par ailleurs (Ray Barretto, Bobby Valentin, Joe Cuba, Roberto Roena, Cortijo, Ismael Miranda & Larry Harlow...).
Adrian Gibson, sélecteur de cet album, s'est attaché à un répertoire volontairement orienté dancefloor, et nous a déniché quelques curiosités, telles les chanteuses Noraida et Quetcy Alma, ou encore les groupes latin funk Café et Seguida, qui n'enregistrèrent qu'un album, mais eurent leur heure de gloire en ouverture du mythique concert de 1973 des Fania All Stars, au Yankee Stadium. On se délectera aussi, côté humour au 18ème degré, du "Oooh! Ah!" de Joe Cuba, auteur des hits boogaloo "Bang bang" et "El Pito", et du funky "Horsin Up", des "Starsky & Hutch" de la salsa, j'ai nommé le pianiste Larry Harlow et son accolyte le sonero Ismael Miranda. Parmi les autres "raretés", un des seuls titres chanté par le percussioniste Ray Barretto ("Together") et une composition de Carlos Santana, dans un esprit latin soul particulièrement mièvre, interprétée par le leader du Gran Combo, Roberto Roena. Mais c'est à Mongo Santamaria et à Ray Barretto que l'on doit les 2 meilleures plages de cet album, le puissant "Black Dice", extrait du "Live at the Yankee Stadium", et "Power", dont l'intro de l'excellent pianiste Louis Cruz fut abondamment samplée, notamment par The Wizards of Ooze.
