Mon choix video Pick: Le batteur, producteur et enseignant Jaimeo Brown revient avec son projet Transcendence pour mixer les genres et les époques ( Work Songs paru chez Motéma ). C’est en puisant dans les chants de travail et en les faisant s’entrechoquer avec le Gospel, le Blues, Jazz et l’ Electro qu’il donne une voix aux esclaves et à leurs conditions. Un chant universel, un tour de force !
Andre’s video PICK this week : Drummer, producer and teacher Jaimeo Brown’s Transcendence new album “ Work Songs” is a masterpiece. He blends history, art and technology with power and grace.
“ Work Songs” are complex: borne of oppression and sung in conditions of hardship, but inherently uplifting – driving forward and onward. Through them, workers transcend their immediate suffering and celebrate their strength and mutual support. In this, the album speaks to the contemporary condition of isolation fostered by modern working practices in contrast to the communality of traditional labour “… from www.jaimeobrown.com
