- Marie-Line Dahomay & Kalindi-Ka - Guadeloupe. Gwo Ka
Marie-Line Dahomay & Kalindi-Ka
Guadeloupe. Gwo Ka, 2009 (1999)
La musique Gwo Ka est un héritage de l'esclavage aux Antilles et en Guadeloupe en particulier. Autour du Gwo Ka gravitent la danse, le jeu, l'humour... une certaine façon d'être. Aujourd'hui, le groupe Kalindi-ka s'inscrit dans cette mouvance identitaire.
Ce choeur féminin polyphonique et polyrythmique porte une note originale dans l'interprétation des morceaux anciens.
Les compositions les plus récentes s'inspirent de chants traditionnels et sont enrichies de rythmes cubains. Les percussions ka se marient au djembé, au conga et au bata ce qui donne une plus large place à l'improvisation. La chanteuse principale, Marie-Line Dahomay, s'accompagne parfois d'un instrument indien : l'Ektara.

Переслать - Solveig Slettahjell Slow Motion Quintet - Good Rain
Solveig Slettahjell Slow Motion Quintet
Good Rain, 2006
This fourth release by Norwegian vocalist Solveig Slettahjell and the Slow Motion Quintet offers another magical experience. On Good Rain, these creative and busy musicians expand the musical language that they began to explore on their previous release, Pixiedust (Curling Legs, 2005). In addition to Slettahjell, the group includes trumpeter Sjur Miljeteig, formerly of the jazz-pop-electronica outfit Jaga Jazzist and one of the leaders of the art-rock group Friko; keyboardist Morten Qvenild, who leads In The Country and Susanna and the Magical Orchestra; bassist Mats Eilertsen; and drummer Per Oddvar Johansen. The quintet flirts with pop and art-rock and even trip-hop, aiming to position the jazz vocalist as an artist again within a popular form, but avoiding banalities and without giving up its intelligent elitist aroma.
Slettahjell is faithful to her "slow motion" concept, conscious of every detail and nuance of each phrase, and her natural, leisurely alto shines throughout the eleven songs. The sonic palette of the ensemble is much more varied, enveloping Slettahjell's warm vocals with sounds that recall productions by such art-rock sonic explorers as David Sylvian or Talk Talk. The sensitive playing of all players adds vibrant layers that caress and reinforce the massages of the poetic songs.
All the songs revolve around the theme of belief, often an abstract and secular one—in Slettahjell, empowering herself after a failed relationship, or in nature—and they offer some consolation, quite often sounding melancholic. The goal? "To be lonely in a good way," as she sings in Qvenild's "Another Day." Slettahjell's innocent and modest narration of life happiness, despair, fate and hope succeeds in creating a peaceful intimacy capable of touching and melting even the greatest cynic.
Slettahjell seeks some calmness and reconciliation in "Where Do You Run To," faith in her lone self in "Another Day." She trusts fate in "Don't Look Back," draws hope from dreams in "Colour Lullabye," and strongly convinces about the joys of lovemaking on "We Were Indians." Her beautiful a cappella version of V.O. Fossett's gospel song "Do Lord" serves as an introduction to the dark, anguished, modern gospelish "My Oh My," penned by Miljeteig. On the Peder Kjellsby-penned "Good Rain" she refers to "the rain washing the stains of / Another broken day."
As on Pixiedust, Slettahjell beautifully interperts another poem by Emily Dickinson, "The Moon." The playful, minimalist version of Johnny Mercer's "P.S. I Love You," the last song on this release, offers some hopeful closure.
Beautiful. - Eyal Hareuveni
The three ACT albums by Norwegian singer Solveig Slettahjell (pronounced Sulvay Shlet-i-yell) are branded "Vocal Jazz" - possibly a smart commercial ploy, given the success of jazzy singers such as Jamie Cullum, Lizz Wright and Madeleine Peyroux. However, Slettahjell is a one-off who takes a delightfully original approach to interpretation, with her fiercely contemporary Slow Motion Quintet, which includes Sjur Miljeteig (trumpet) and Morten Qvenild (keyboardist). She sings with beautiful intonation, in the faultlessly enunciated English that Nordic divas have made their own, yet there's nothing chilly or mannered in her vocals. You sense that she has listened to all the great singers, but rather than copying stylistic tricks, has taken their core values to heart. The earlier albums (Silver and Pixiedust) are worth getting, but Good Rain marks a significant improvement in the quality of the original material, by Miljeteig in particular. The trumpeter's We Were Indians sounds like a indie classic; My Oh My is a glorious anthem; Don't Look Back is fabulously sleazy. If you like Billie Holiday, the Beatles, Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell and Tom Waits, then Good Rain is the album to bring you music. - John L. Walters
