If Your Future's bright Then My Time Is Right : 2013

Many MOoDs Of Waahli:

Last Friday, on march 19th, 2010, Nomadic Massive were opening for Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, an amazing band from Chicago, at Le National on St-Catherine. WOOOOW!...Amazing show that was!!!...Maaan!..I love the sound in that room, mos def i will go back to see other shows. I'm so grateful to be surrounded by so much talents and inspirational beings....Right after the show, i was getting ready to bounce to my night; Whats COOKIN' Fridays at Korova. Outside Le National, i met three of my boys, Jon, Hitchem and Mad, a prolific crew on the rise, all three had big headphones leaning on their shoulders bumping the music of Nujabes. On the street cyphering, we started to talk about the show that they had just miss, cuz they came late, YIKESS!!...On the real, I could sense there were other things preoccupying their minds. Then our convo switched up. We started to talk about all the stuff that occurred around the globe in the last nine months..Wooow..so much has happened.Indeed!!!..These days, its hard to see what are some of the good things that's happening when we're constantly bombarded by mainstream media about tragic events. All day, Saturday, i was in a reflective mood, thinking about last night's convo; oppression in developing countries, inflation, environmental deterioration, exploitation of natural resources, sudden departure by well known & loved artists etc...
Then the myth of 2012, came to my mind, as it did during last night's conversation. Who really knows what's going to happen in 2012. I don't even know myself. There are so much theories about 2012, but I believe, we humans will undergo a spiritual transformation that's already been in process for a very long time, i mean everyhting has been moving so fast especially TIME, maybe some kind of new psychic abilities, who knows?...I mean this is what I've been feeling deeply. I am not an astronomer but I chill with real STARS, so If your future is bright, then my time is right. In my opinion, 2012 will be the end of an era and the beginning of a new one, the revival of the spirit of a new generation. What we need to focus on, is the present moment and spread more LOVE. So i've produced this little musical landscape that i have named "2013" Despite seeing the world strange lately, this song is to reflect beyond the myth of 2012, which some have proclaimed it to be the end of the world. "2013" is the art of believing in something beyond that. A reflective somber beauty laced with hopes!...

The Love Theme from Waahli

I woke up this morning and a song from this cool jazz cat name Yusef Lateef was resonating inside my brain, sorta like a buzzing noise from a fridge but more harmonious. The Love Theme From Spartacus, woooow..what a beautiful song!!..Yusef Lateef's music has been sampled by many HipHop 'connaisseurs' like Seb Jun aka Nujabes a Japanese DJ, who've recently passed away in a tragic car accident. May you rest in music brother, your music will live long. I was so inspired and the only way to get it out of my cranium, was to create my version and its now public domain!!.

Nomadic Massive at Le National with Hypnotic Brass Ensemble

HYPNOTIC BRASS ENSEMBLE

avec en première partie

NOMADIC MASSIVE
et les DJ : Scott C (The GOODS) / Paulo Superfly Goncalves (de Paris)

Vendredi 19 mars 2010 – 21 h
Le National, 1220, rue Sainte-Catherine Est

Hypnotic Brass Ensemble
Combinant le meilleur du jazz, du hip hop, du rock et du soul, le Hypnotic Brass Ensemble se fait l'ambassadeur d'un son totalement neuf qu'il nomme « Now Music ». Même après avoir joué en compagnie de grands noms du jazz et du hip hop (Talib Kweli, Tony Allen, The Roots, Maceo Parker et Erykah Badu), ces musiciens n'ont jamais abandonné l'esprit d'indépendance et la fougue acquis dans les rues du sud de Chicago où ils ont grandi. Si le son du Hypnotic Brass Ensemble est unique, sa démarche d'affaire l'est tout autant : depuis ses débuts, il a décliné toutes les offres des grands labels pour opter pour l'autoproduction de quatre albums, qui se sont vendus à plus de 500 000 exemplaires jusqu'à ce jour. D'ailleurs, les signes de reconnaissance pleuvent : on retrouve Hypnotic sur deux pièces du nouvel album de Gorillaz, Plastic Beach, dont le lancement est prévu le 9 mars 2010 - la première met en vedette Snoop Dogg, la seconde, Mos Def.

Fait frappant, les huit cuivres du Hypnotic Brass (quatre trompettes, deux trombones, un euphonium et un sousaphone) sont des frères de sang qui cultivent collectivement l'héritage musical de leur père, la légende vivante Phil Cohran (Sun Ra Arkestra, Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians). Se produisant dans le monde entier – au célèbre Shrine de Fela Kuti à Lagos, au Nigéria, ou à la première londonienne de Blur à Hyde Park –, le Hypnotic Brass est aujourd'hui l'ensemble à ne pas rater. Préparez-vous pour un voyage du corps et de l'âme vers la musique du futur. Un événement à ne pas rater. www.hypnoticbrass.net

Nomadic Massive, est le solide amalgame de neuf musiciens et artistes locaux. Ensemble, ils forment un puissant consortium de hip hop socialement engagé, alliant musique live, échantillonnages et poésie urbaine. Ses membres sont originaires d'Argentine, de France, d'Algérie, du Chili, de la Barbade et de la Grenade, autant de sources fraîches où Nomadic Massive puise ses rythmes, chants et mélodies. Le groupe a lancé récemment Nomadic Massive, un opus éponyme en cinq langues enregistré entre La Havane et Montréal. www.nomadicmassive.com

UPDT '' Une Partie De Toi'' Chopin's new Exhibition 2010

Hey Everyone!!!I'm so proud of my brother Chopin!!


I'm honored and pleased to invited you to Chopin's exhibition(UPDT aka Une Parti De TOi)from April 17th to May 14th, 2010, at La Galerie Dentaire, 1239 Rue Amherst, Montreal. Last year, Chopin created a facebook commotion by creating 500 portraits in 40 days, using a unique technique known to him. Obviously, with the permission of his subjects, Chopin used people's photos that he carefully selected from their facebook's profile, taping into their personalities and started to deconstruct their facial structure, adding new shapes, forms and colors, the result makes it very stimulating for the human eyes. The positive feed backs came like a thunder lightning bolt and created this huge hype over the social network. Also, last year Chopin participated at the FIMA 2009(Festival International Montreal en Arts) this festival gives a space for artists across the world to show and sell their artworks aka hardwork to the public since 1999 and Chopin was given the price of La découverte de l'année 2009, which gave him the opportunity to expose his artwok, as you know now, at la Galerie Dentaire. So come by and discover the world of Chopin seeing through his eyes. On April 17th, 2010,I will be DJing for the evening for the official vernissage, UPDT aka Une Partie De Toi, same place. I Hope to see you in big numbers & keep supporting your local talents.
