DEBUT ALBUM FROM MURAKAMI/FÆRDEN

Behind the duo Murakami/Færden are Luiz Murakami (Brazil) and Tuva Færden (Norway) who met each other for the first time at a festival in Switzerland in 2019. The connection they found through their music was strong. Throughout the pandemic they stayed in touch and a beautiful musical project started to grow.

Their musical tunes range from traditional to original compositions inspired by the connection between the Hardanger fiddle from Norway and the “Rabeca” from Brazil. Different instruments from different places, but with a lot of musical connection. Together with a Norwegian lyre, a Brazilian guitar, a Japanese Shakuhachi and their voices, their path is to connect music from different parts of the world with a Norwegian-Brazilian perspective.

"RITUALS" OUT TODAY!

MARIAMA NDURE reclaims her self-definition on “Rituals”, her debut album released today.

To create the music of “Rituals,” Ndure, then a graduate student at the Norwegian Academy of Music, traveled to Gambia and embedded herself within a group of griots — West African musicians, storytellers and keepers of traditions and culture — to better understand the land and people from which she was created and to more fully grasp ownership of what it means to be Gambian.

Defying definitions of genre with its combination of West African musical traditions paired with elements of R&B, soul, hip hop, modern jazz and improvisation, “Rituals” sonically mirrors the sea change of collective liberation that’s washing over the world.

“For me, this album is about not being afraid to take space,” Ndure says. “These songs saw me rebuilding myself and in turn showing people that there are many layers to being a Black, female composer and musician. The world likes to put restrictions on us because of the way we look; they assume we must have a certain type of sound. Really, there are no limitations.” - Mariama Ndure.

The compositions featured on “Rituals” were commissioned by Global Oslo Music.

Estrenamos nuevos discos que están siendo publicados estas semanas e incluso en el mes de septiembre. Nos dejamos llevar por la tambora del Pacífico colombiano, por conexiones panafricanas, por músicas populares norteamericanas, por la conexión entre la tradición árabe y la occidental, por los danzas polacas y bulgaras, y por la sorprendente transposición de la música de Philip Glass a las gaitas y bombardas bretonas. Homenajeamos también a la cantora portuguesa Mísia, que nos acaba de dejar.

We premiere new albums that are being released these weeks and even in September. We get carried away by the tambora of the Colombian Pacific, by Pan-African connections, by North American popular music, by the connection between Arab and Western traditions, by Polish and Bulgarian dances, and by the surprising transposition of Philip Glass‘s music to the bagpipes and bombards of Brittany. We also pay tribute to the Portuguese singer Mísia, who has just left us.
