(INFORMACIÓN DETALLADA DE LOS GRUPOS PARTICIPANTES)

113 (Francia)

Los Parisinos 113 son uno de los estandartes del Hip Hop francés y hoy por hoy son uno de los grupos mas consagrados de la escena urbana francesa. El grupo lo formaron en el año 1996 Rim K, Mokobe y A.P, en 1998 sacaron su primer Ep "Ni barreaux, ni barrieres, ni frontieres" en el que se incluyo lo que fuera su primer Hit "Truc De Fou", en el año 1999 vio la luz su primer LP "Princes de la ville", cuyo single fue "Tonton du beld", que cuenta la historia de la poblacion árabe que cada verano retorna en largo y duro viaje en coche por toda europa hacia su pais de origen (Marruecos) y con el que consiguieron explotar en ventas y ganar varios premios de la musica en Francia. Y desde entonces 113 ha sabido mantenerse en lo alto de la música francesa; en el año 2002 vio la luz su segundo larga duración "113 fout la merde", con el que de nuevo lograron unas ventas altísimas y su por ahora último trabajo como grupo es "113 Degrees" que se editó en el año 2005. Además 113 son uno de los pilares básicos de la Mafia K1 Fri (Mafia africana), un amplio colectivo de artistas con el que han editado varios trabajos, y que son un referente de las comunidades árabes y africanas francesas, entre otros artistas dentro de Mafia K1Fri están el mítico Kerry James, Rhoff, Many Key o Dj Medhi, todos artistas muy respetados dentro de la escena francesa de Hip Hop. 113 en concierto son una fiesta asegurada y sin duda no defraudará a ningún buen amante de la música, derrochan energia y carisma sobre el escenario y saben como lograr que el público se sienta como en casa. No te los puedes perder.

Mireille Ben Ensemble Miniatures FolkClub Ethnosuoni (www.folkclubethnosuoni.com)

Mireille Ben is a singer of French origin based in Italy. With her Italian band, she explores the folk heritage of different parts of France and the Francophonie on this new recording.

From the Vendee to La Louisiane, from Auvergne

to Bretagne, the songs on Miniatures are of ancient origin, and found in some form wherever French is spoken and sung. Old songs, but in a new style. The treatment on this CD owes something to jazz, particularly the drumming of Gianbattista Piantoni and Oliviero Bielli's sometimes growling guitar. Alfredo Savoldelli adds electric bass to the mix.

On the other hand, the bagpipes (cornemuse), a variety originating in central France, played by Gabriele Coltri, lend an air of folk authenticity, as do Ben's smoky voice and Claudia Klinzing's musical saw and violin.

These songs - 300, 400, perhaps even 500 years old - have bounced around the old world and the new, and have been heard, like most folksongs, in a variety of shapes, with different verses, different choruses. Here and there I hear something that has come across the ocean and has entered the French Canadian tradition, recognizable despite a different title and slightly different lyric fragments; in other words, true folksongs.

These are fine songs that have stood the test of time, and well presented, with the exception of one or two on which the vocal delivery seems rushed. On "Les douze mois de l'année" Peo Mazza takes the drum kit a little too deep into an energetic jazz shuffle that takes the focus off the song itself.

There is some variety: "Dedans Lullion" is performed simply with guitar and voice, and the guitar is played in a Cajun style fitting for its Louisianan origins. (Another version of this song - sometimes called "Aux Illinois " and several others on this CD, can be found on a classic French Canadian prog-rock album by the group Garolou, circa 1978.)

Another notable track is "L'oiseau mis en cage-Par un beau jour-Anniversaire," a medley that begins with the cornemuse and strings in a baroque style duet, then swings into a waltz with the acoustic guitar providing the rhythm. The story is this: a soldier returns form the war with stories of his conquests and his intended sends him back to drink "a la santé de nos maitresses."

War, a stark reality of life in the centuries these songs come from, figures in a few other songs as well. "Le conseil de guerre" is about a soldier condemned to death who forgives his executioners. And "C'est sur le pont de Lyon" is from the point of view of a woman who wants the king to send her husband back from the front.

Although ten of the songs feature Ben's vocals, the exception is "Mazurka de Lanternaire," the one instrumental track, a real beauty where the cornemuse takes center stage. The heritage of France is in good hands on this sometimes quirky, always surprising and entertaining CD. - David Cox

Félix Baloy & The Afro-Cuban All Stars Live in the UK, Alive in Cuba (DVD) Tumi (www.tumimusic.com)

Sonero Félix Baloy needs no introduction for anyone who follows Cuban music, but this DVD (directed by Charles Wood) offers an informed if at times romanticized examination of the life of one of the island's greatest living singers, and the society in which his musical legacy has thrived. Like many veteran Cuban artists, Baloy pursued a variety of vocations, working as a shoemaker, grocer and railway laborer by day, while singing at night. Against a Havana backdrop, the video captures Baloy's warmth, humour, patience, generosity and single-minded dedication to his music and to Afro-Cuban religion. He describes hanging out as a young boy at the Havana club where Beny Moré held court, peering through the window to see and hear his idol. His wife Lázara makes clear that she controls the household, however, describing her husband as so completely wrapped up in his activities that he loses the house keys and cannot keep track of time, living purely in the moment. She also confronts him, thumbing through a stack of photographs with a variety of younger women on his arm; he good-naturedly replies that "they're just friends" he cannot avoid meeting as a celebrity.

The documentary follows Baloy as he visits his spiritual advisor, hosts a party in his old neighborhood, practices and performs, while reminiscing at length about his life. Friends and fellow musicians offer their own take on Baloy, interspersed with ample footage from a UK tour (in Brighton and Hyde Park) and local performances in Havana. Also featured is Buena Vista Social Club producer-singer-tresero-guitarist Juan de Marcos González, who was the tour's musical director. Backing Baloy on eleven concert-length tracks is a host of superb musicians, among them singer Fernando Ferrer Rodríguez (a powerful soloist in his own right), David Alfaro and Luis Lang Morejón (piano), Luis Alemañy and Julio Padrón (trumpets), Juan Carlos Marin and Antonio Leal (trombones); José Espinosa Martínez (timbales), Rolando Niño Mentira (congas), and Jorge Reyes Hernández (upright bass). A welcome innovation for international audiences is the inclusion of two discs (in PAL and NTSC formats), with subtitles in English, Spanish, French, German and Japanese. This is an endearing portrait of Baloy's prodigious talent, his humanity and his world. - Michael Stone

Ojos de Brujo Techarí Six Degrees

Benjamin Escoriza Alevanta Riverboat (www.worldmusic.net)

Berrogüetto 10.0 Self released (www.berroguetto.com)

Spain has had a badly spotted history of mistreating "outsiders," but the country's music is heavily influenced by these same groups. Spain's signature music, flamenco, sprang from persecuted Gypsy, Jewish and Moorish communities. Three recent releases demonstrate the beauty created by this once-feared diversity.

Since the 1970s, when Paco de Lucia began flamenco's fusion with jazz and rock, one wing of the genre has broken free of its traditional moorings.

After a spectacular U.S. debut in 2002, the Barcelona-based collective Ojos de Brujo returns with Techarí, which again pulls in a variety of styles ­ most obviously hiphop and flamenco. But like all the bands I'm writing about today, Ojos de Brujo is not easily pigeonholed.

The large group initially got together as friends who wanted to jam, all lovers of flamenco who weren't interested in playing flamenco. The group developed a six-member core, while other players come and go.

Their U.S. debut, Bari, leapt from the speakers and their multimedia live shows proved they were one of the most creative, compelling bands in the world. Techarí lacks some of the excitement of Bari, but it is still a vibrant brew. This time around, the group is joined by guest artists, including flamenco guitarist Pepe Habichuela and Asian Underground leader Nitin Sawhney, but the draw here is still the group's unique sound. Heavily percussive, the band uses palmas or handclaps, the South American box-like drum called the cajon, the Indian dhol drum and handfuls of turntable scratching.

Singer-songwriter Marina "La Canillas" is the charismatic frontperson, but the band's members share spotlight time and always work together to build a huge head of steam behind her.

But the genius of Ojos is its seamless amalgam; their music is neither fish nor fowl, it's both and more. Played with joy and controlled abandon, the group's songs are world music at its barrier-breaking best.

The group Radio Tarifa did not combine flamenco with other genres as much as deconstructing the music and reexploring its multi-ethnic roots. The group named itself for the southern city of Tarifa where a mythical radio station would pick up sounds from North Africa as well as Spain. Now, the group's singer, Benjamin Escoriza has released a solo album.

On Alevanta, Escoriza applies his flamenco-style vocals to music that takes a similarly no-holds-barred approach as Tarifa. Mostly acoustic, the songs are a thick stew of diverse sounds and propulsive rhythms.

Escoriza's songs move along like pop, but each tune has its own unique combination of instruments, making for a fascinating series of textures. His rootsy, intimate style recalls some of the retro music coming out of Cuba in recent years.

While flamenco was born in Andalucia in southern Spain, the northwestern province of Galicia has a very different musical heritage, with a strong Celtic influence. The seven-member group Berrogüetto has similarly taken traditional music as source material, but the sound is vastly different than fiery flamenco.

Berrogüetto takes old Galician sounds and adroitly walks the line between art music and folk. On 10.0, their fourth album over 10 years, the songs ­ totally acoustic on this album ­ have the meticulous calculations of a classical piece, but they retain an earthiness that firmly roots them in folk. Occasionally, the music is reminiscent of Irish instrumental music, but the group has more in common with the handful of top-flight bands in the world that are creating "folk music of the future" by contemporizing ancient tunes and instruments.

The group has never performed in the United States, but has garnered glowing reviews and awards throughout Europe. Like all of these sui generis performers, they are worth seeking out. - Marty Lipp

Electrique… Electronique…. Electrotango….. Elémentaire ???

… e pur si muove ! (… et elle tourne)

Nous ne brûlerons pas ceux qui veulent innover et qui s’installent dans une approche autre que le traditionnel. Quand même !

Dans ce courant du «tango-electro » il y a le courage des uns, le talent des autres, le culot parfois et, il faut aussi le dire,l’opportunisme de certains, ce qui semble être, malheureusement, inévitable.  Néanmoins sans la donne de l’innovation tout s’arrête et nous nous devons d'être présents dans cet espace novateur, là où les acteurs de l’electrotango dialoguent avec la mémoire du tango. Nous avons choisi de productions ‘electrotango’, en tenant compte de certains critères dont le respect de l’héritage tango, la présence du fait musical, une esthétique qui puisse permettre une bonne lecture de cette nouvelle tendance. Nous espérons que ces productions vous satisferont, et, bien entendu ! nous attendons vos réflexions et vos suggestions.

'STREET BEATS' FUNDRAISER TO SUPPORT ST. BONIFACE

'STREET BEATS' FUNDRAISER TO CELEBRATE AND SUPPORT ST. BONIFACE NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER'S GUBBIO PROJECT, JUNE 16 - 17 Benefit for St. Boniface's Homeless Shelter to Include Multimedia Dance and Spoken Word Performances, Dance Lessons, Reception and Tours.

SAN FRANCISCO - The St. Boniface Neighborhood Center will make its star turn at "Street Beats," a very special fundraising event that will celebrate and support the Gubbio Project - St. Boniface's homeless shelter - in two performances: Saturday, June 16 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, June 17 at 3 p.m., at the St. Boniface Church Theater in San Francisco.

"Street Beats" will showcase a multitude of talents - dance, spoken word, music, art and other disciplines - from the diverse array of Bay Area performance artists. Additionally, "Street Beats" will feature a light-hearted dance lesson, reception and tours of facilities.

For Tickets, See Below...

About the Gubbio Project: Since April 2004, St. Boniface Neighborhood Center has operated the Gubbio Project, providing a place to sleep as well as outreach and support to homeless people at St. Boniface Church in San Francisco's Tenderloin district. Serving 200 - 300 people each day, the Gubbio Project is a unique point of entry into the system of care for people who are homeless. Many clients have severe disabilities, are seniors or undocumented immigrants; and are unable to access or navigate the shelter system due to these issues.

Gubbio Project staff members are available throughout the day, acting simultaneously as safety monitors and hospitality and outreach workers. After building a relationship of trust with guests who are not engaged in the system of care, the Gubbio Project staff regularly refers people to detoxification and rehabilitation programs, social workers, job training programs, mental health treatment centers and housing opportunities.

"Street Beats" will feature an array of vibrant performances by celebrated artists including:

Valentina: Second-place winner on PBS' "America's Ballroom Challenge; 2001 Rising Star Smooth Champion and Couple of the Year, Soloist, St. Petersburg Modern Ballet Company, Featured Dancer in "Dance with Me."

Youth Speaks: Founded in 1996 in San Francisco, Youth Speaks is the nation's leading nonprofit presenter of Spoken Word performance, education, and youth development programs.

Alison Hurwitz: choreographer, dancer, teacher; director emeritus of Harmony Project Dance Company, featured instructor in DanceCrazy's instructional DVDs.
