6 degrees and luka bop
Cheb i SabbahDevotion
At the tender age of 60, Algerian born dj Cheb i Sabbah produces music as adventurously as if he were in his 20s. “For Devotion, he traveled to New Delhi and engaged six leading vocalists, together with top local players of traditional string and percussion instruments, adding keyboards, guitar, electric bass—and on one track, banjo—to the mix.” (allaboutjazz.com) He goes beyond the standard ambient and visits Hindu, Sikh, Muslim religious and ritual music.

Brazil Classics #7: What’s Happening in Pernambuco; New Sounds of the Brazilian Northeast
“From the first Portuguese settlers and their African slaves mixing it up with the Native Americans, through the continual influx of immigrants from around the world, Brazil’s musicians have always been adept at expressing omnivorous tastes and integrating every flavor of spice they’ve encountered. Luka Bop brings us adventurous palettes up to date with a sampling of dishes from just one of the country’s regions. Collage is the key approach among the artists on Pernambuco, with imaginative uses of cut-and-paste methods. Several tunes recognize the affinity between samba and drum n’ bass; both genres share similar tempos and frenetic feels. However, other songs simply reintroduce traditional styles for a new generation.” (allaboutjazz.com)
