 | Artist: Netsayi Title: Monkeys' Wedding (album) Article no: WC 43083 Barcode:8712629430831 Monkeys' Wedding is Netsayi’s eagerly anticipated follow up to her widely-praised 2006 debut, ‘Chimurenga Soul’. Netsayi’s music is a subtly alluring blend of soul, jazz, folk and African influences. Drawing comparisons to a modern day Joan Armatrading and Nina Simone, Netsayi’s rich cultural background has shaped her as an artist of great creative inquisitiveness. Netsayi’s voice hits you, then the personality, and they’re both as unexpected and invigorating as each other. In an entertainment world that seems to demand excessive ego as a prerequisite, Netsayi makes a refreshing change. release dates: UK - 21 September Germany - 23 September Benelux - 26 September sound /video samples and lyrics » |

 | Artist: Yanka Rupkina Title: Keranka (album) Article no: 43007 Barcode:8712629430077 Without the distant call of the Strandja mountains in Bulgaria, and the distinct voice of our beloved Yanka Rupkina, the story of Keranka would simply be an historical footnote, in a learned book about the history of music. And what is peculiar to Bulgarian musical history, has been made famous by Yanka, who is the most important ambassador to the world, of this traditional musical artform. Born in a tiny village near the Black Sea port of Bourgas, and at the foot of the Strandja mountains – which give their name to her unique style of singing – it is the origin of her often melancholy songs, with their strange inherent optimism and hope for a better life to come, either here or in the next world. sound /video samples and lyrics » |
 | Artist: Mariza Title: Transparente (album) Article no: EMI 0724347764622 Barcode:8712629430077 Recorded in Brazil with the musician and producer Jaques Morelenbaum, its subtle orchestrations create a breathtaking sound palette over which Mariza’s stunning voice weaves and casts its spell. (Morelenbaum is a byword in the world of music, having produced the albums ‘Livro’ by Caetano Veloso, the winner of the 1999 Grammy Award for Best World Music Album, and ‘António Brasileiro’ by Tom Jobim.) The insight and restraint of the production and the playing of the accompanying musicians enhances and deepens the fado experience, bringing new sonic surprises to the fado tradition rather than transplanting the singer into other musical forms. sound /video samples and lyrics » |

The most part of the material was made at the third take. When you go further than that, the feeling start to be mechanical and you dont have nothing. With this record everybody was in the mood to do everything with soul. The idea is to have the real sound of everything. The truth, the true sound. And I think we got it”.

The ballad Ce E Viata Omului, which features just Cristina’s voice and Fulgerica’s accordion, is epic Balkan blues, deep Romanian soul. Mahala is a Romanian word that translates as “’hood” or “barrio” and the fifteen tracks gathered here are the soundtrack of Fulgerica’s Gypsy barrio. Some are traditional songs that have been handed down across the centuries, their origins hinted at by a thin silt of Turkish or Armenian words.
