Los Nacionales Jacinto de Gatica - Sones Jarocho

Jaracho is a style of Mexican music from Veracruz that instantly goes to the heart and the chest.  Intensely string heavy, they have one of the best traditional harp styles I've ever heard along with a variety of small guitar-like instruments picked by a plectrum made from cow or goat bone.  The lyrics are often humorous and a little dirty and filled with sexual puns, etc.  One of the most popular Son Jarocho tunes was immortalized into rock and roll by Ritchie Valens and as we all know is La Bamba.  Check this record out, it's bangin.

Bachata Roja - Acoustic Bachata From the Cabaret Era

The style of music known as Bachata is interesting because from everything I've read it seems that it was considered incredibly low class music until the late 1990's and 2000's.  It seems to be a central criticism of the music way more than other styles that were treated similarly like Cumbia or Rocksteady.  Bachata caught my attention for the first time through mainstream Latin radio stations in Houston that play the modern electric guitar version because I was impressed by the chorused out guitar sound and the incredibly skillful bongo work.  Also the vocalists tend to be extremely emotive.

The original name of the genre was amargue which translates to bitterness, or bitter music   Many bachata converts of the '90s and 2000s have had little, if any, exposure to old-school bachata, and this excellent compilation takes a look at what bachata sounded like before that commercialization occurred. Bachata Roja: Acoustic Bachata from the Cabaret Era opens with Rafael Encarnación's doo wop-flavored "Muero Contigo" from 1962 and closes with Juan Bautista's 1990 hit "Asesina," which uses an electric guitar (old-school bachata was totally acoustic) and has one foot in classic bachata and the other in modern bachata. Many of the tracks are from the '60s and '70s, and those who associate bachata with the commercial hits of Aventura or Monchy & Alexandra will be surprised to hear how much rawer bachata sounded in the hands of old-school bachateros like Felix Quintana, Augusto Santos, Julio Angel, and the late Marino Pérez (who sadly, drank himself to death). Bachata Roja is enthusiastically recommended to anyone who wants to hear what bachata sound like before it became so commercialized.

Calle 13 - Self Titled

El Residente y El Visitante.  A DJ and a vocalist from San Juan who had been homies since they were kids who grew up off of Calle 13, or 13th Street, which has been, for a long while, the cultural and musical center of the city.  Musicians of solid caliber of fucking talent and who knew how to mix a track and just make a solid down ass record.  I'm unabashedly such a fan of homemade records because the accessibility of the gear makes the field so much more competitive and the cats who make the records have to climb mountains of forgotten or bypassed music to stand on top and shine the new sound.  And everywhere in America (other than the United States, of course ; ), THESE guys.....were one of the most popular groups around for a good minute.  

Half haard-ass Reggaeton, half suuper conscious ass hip-hop, half fuucking goofy as fuck down hard conscientiousness, makes for 150% of dance music that drops hard, and I won't explain it anymore, because the chances lie, that if you've read this far, you're probably going to download the album.  

Sooooooooo, I only have one piece of advice, friend(s).  Listen to it with something that actually makes BASS.  It makes the record 100%  different.  

(Sorry for all the math, folks ; )

Zakir Hussain & Alla Rakha - Tabla Duets

Sorry, folks.  It's been a houston minute since I posted, and mein apologies, of course, BUUUUUUT, i got something for you, and this is one of those that's a guaranteed "like (if you will)."  The talent on this album are Alla Rakha and his son Zakir Hussain.  Alla Rakha is widely known for the fact that he was essentially the first guy to make a presence as a tabla player outside of just an accompaniment musician and Zakir Hussain is widely understood to be the best tabla player alive.  Rakha really helped the tabla become a solo study, as it should have been a long time before.  If you like Ravi Shankar, then forget about him and listen to guys like this.

The beautiful thing about this record is the jugalbandi, or call and response.  They also do a practice called kar-taal which is essentially when one of the tabla players on the spot improvises a (generally) 32 note phrase and the other tabla player has to learn and play it back verbatim on the spot, and obviously since the tabla is subject to tone, they must also play back the melody as they are playing the rhythm.

Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson - Waylon and Willie

Don't let that Willie Nelson let your mind wandering.  This album isn't that hippie mumbo jumbo you're used to thinking about when you hear that bard's name, Willie Nelson.  To be honest, I'm not too familiar with Waylon Jennings or Willie Nelsons work.  A friend of mine showed me this album recently and I picked up pretty quickly why he did.

Waylon Jennings was born in 1937 and probably had his first taste of commercial fame as the lead guitarist for Buddy Holly and the Crickets.  IN FACT, he was the one who lost a coin toss that competed for a seat on a heated airplane during a blizzard, the flight which led to the eventual crash and death of the Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, and Ritchie Valens.  A pure Lubbock, Texas boy, you can hear his Rock n' Roll influence in his fazed out guitar and ultra-lonesome writing technique, inspired by years of drug use and heartache.  I'm not glorifying it, there's just something real lonesome about it : /

Willie Nelson was born in Abbot, Texas in the midst of the Great Depression to parents who very quickly abandoned him and his siblings, leaving him in the care of grandparents who had been teaching Willie the basics of music that they had learned from the mail-correspondence courses they subscribed to.  He attended Baylor University but dropped out in less than two years due to his success in music.

One of the things that attracts me to this record is the Gospel sound to it that I've discussed in posts before.  Waylon and Willie both grew up playing music and singing for churches and gospel choirs.  It's not the only thing, however.  It has serious integrity and guts, both artists pasting their insecurities and faults, ones we can all agree with to some extent, vividly and unhurriedly in words and chord progressions throughout the record. I suggest paying attention to what is Side A and Side B.  This is undoubtedly one of those vinyl-pleasure albums.  Enough from me, sisters and brother.

Kashmere Stage Band - Texas Thunder Soul

Alright this shit will blow your mind.  This album is by a bunch of high school students from Houston, Texas in the 60's and 70's from Kashmere High School.  Houston used to have an incredibly strong soul and funk and country music scene back in the day.  I think Ray Charles epitomized it by the statement he made while he was living here (at the heights of fame) "If you wanna start a good band, you move to Houston."

This group is literally Kashmere High School's school jazz band from 1968 to 1974.  A lot of Southern states, especially Texas and Louisiana have a history of really shitty academics, and incredibly good music programs, either to complement the football teams or just because Texas and Louisiana have always been filled to the brim with musicians.  Conrad Johnson, the band leader, attended an Otis Redding concert in 1967 and decided to change the whole sound of the band, realizing the new musical revolution occurring in the States especially in the South shouldn't leave Kashmere H.S. behind.  Kashmere is located in Kashmere Gardens, a historically black neighborhood in Houston, and has been the site of major musical groups from Houston, such as Archie Bell and the Drells.  Enjoy this record!

Yes - Fragile

This album is one of my favorite rock and roll records.  It's complex, well arranged, extremely well-produced, and extremely psychedelic, with lines like "In and around the lake, mountains come out of the sky, and they stand there."

It was Yes's fourth album, and it was a huge hit in England as well as the United States a little bit later on.  It's a classic concept album and it has that good prog-rock feel but it's a lot more down hard.

Roscoe Holcomb - High Lonesome Sound

Thank Roxy for suggesting this, this album is toooooooooooooo good.

The first time I heard of Roscoe was through an anecdote told to me by a trembling old man in the music section of Half Priced Books in Houston.  "...and so his little girl went ahead and got married, and Roscoe played and played throughout the night till every body went to sleep exhausted, only to wake up to a gopher-a-plenty awaiting them."  

I don't really know if that's true or not, but I hope it is.  Roscoe Holcomb, discovered by Library of Congress's Folkways Productions, picked up the banjo when the Depression came on.  That's Depression with a capital "d."  Making a little money was all he originally wanted to do but he found he could play tunes upon tunes, and time tells that he truly is an American MAAAAAAAAAAAASTER musician.

Be ready for treble

Bill Monroe - I Saw the Light 1958

Bill Monroe is one of my favorite Bluegrass musicians.  I have a weird affinity for gospel music from anywhere in the world.  It's interesting how many of the musical elements are extremely similar, most notably the 1-4-5 (G C D for example).  Out of the plethora of folk gospel music from the United States, though, the reason why I am particularly attracted to Monroe, other than the fact that he is a sexy bastard, is probably because they just have such strong and tight vocal harmonies AND the man invented the term Bluegrass.

The name hails from his band's name, Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys.  Bill Monroe himself came from a Baptist family and was the youngest child in a family full of musicians.  His older brothers played the guitar and fiddle respectively, so Bill was resigned to the mandolin.  They formed groups in Indiana where they were workers in oil fields and formed many groups, most notably the Monroe Boys while they were there.

King Tubby - Essential Dub

Man, there is a lot of King Tubby, and even though it's ALL good it's not the easiest thing to just sit down and throw on fifteen of his records and just listen straight through.  Well I have some good news, I have done just that too many times, and in general I've just been listening to his shit for so long that I have mad love for the man and his genius and craft.  This record is definitely one of his best, working with guys from the famous Aggrovators to Tommy McCook.  Also it's definitely one of his more dance based and trippy records.

 First off, the man invented dub.  He not only invented dub, he took his skills and know-how of electronics he picked up from his profession as a poor television and radio repairman to fabricate his own musical effects boxes to create the music he did.

So here's the skinny.  The man worked with bands to record tracks and he would go back over the master tracks and loop certain parts, mix certain parts up and and out and back together, turn up the bass and drop the treble completely here, etc.  But mostly he would UP the bass and UP the highs and completely drop the mids, add a liberal portion of reverb and some healthy flanger and you have a big room sound that's simultaneously gut rumbling and crisp and clean.

Frederic Chopin's 21 Nocturnes Performed by Tamas Vasary

Frederic Chopin was a great master composer and pianist born in Poland in 1810 and was undeniably a stalwart of the Romantic Period.  These are his famous 21 Nocturnes, a beautiful collection of sometimes twinkling, sometimes barraging piano music played and interpreted by Tamas Vasary, a great Hungarian concert pianist.  Chopin's father was an extremely talented flautist and violinist while his mother taught piano to the children of the wealthy residents of the boarding house they managed.  His family was by no means wealthy but they were exposed to the life of the elite and even royalty through his parents' minor musical celebrity, which was soon trumped by that of young Frederic who by the age of seven was already performing publicly.  It was because of this that young Frederic was recruited to assume the role of playmate and musical teacher to the Grand Duke Constatine's son.

During his time, Chopin's nocturnes received a snowstorm of criticism.  While many saw this as the new burgeoning movement in classical music, others saw it as a irreverent departure from tradition.  Even his style of Nocturne, which he adapted from his colleague, the Irish composer John Field, was inconsistent with the new phenomenon of the Nocturne.  It has proven, however, to be a strong step forward, and otherwise is just a fine specimen of music.

Africando All-Stars - Mandali

The Africando All-Stars are an interesting grouping of New York Salsa musicians with Puerto Rican and Senegalese backgrounds.  Salsa was a term invented in New York in the 60's/70's but its roots go back to African rhythms and Son Cubano and Son Montuno.  In other words, New York was the pivotal sphere of Salsa music for many years in its combination of cultures.  So Africando, formed in 1990, is right up that thread.

Salsa has been a popular musical form in Central and Western Africa for decades, and the Senegalese style is notable for the beautiful traditional vocal harmonies that are incorporated in.  Dancing or moving to this group is irresistible and really why the fuck would you want to resist it anyway?

Flaco Jimenez - Arriba el Norte!

Flaco Jimenez is a true Texas legend and favorite, and his celebrity is a little understated.  From San Antonio, Texas, son of the great conjunto musician Santiago Jiminez Sr., he has played with artists ranging from Freddy Fender to Bob Dylan to even being featured in the Woody Allen film Picking Up the Pieces.  His sweeping diatonic button accordion lines and deep bellied vocal vibrato meld together in beautiful harmony as he sings his corridos and canciones.  You can probably also recognize him from the mural right next to the Continental Club in Houston, Texas.  People say the Texas music scene doesn't exist but they are talking about such a narrow scope of music.  Enjoy!

DJ Screw Chapter 16 - Late Night Fucking Yo Bitch

What can I say about DJ Screw that already hasn't been said, other than the fact he's from my hometown.  All you Houstonians know what he did to our city, but the rest of you might not.  In the 90's, especially later on in the decade when his work was gaining in popularity all over Screwston, you couldn't walk a block down the street without hearing the rumbling sound of Screw coming your way down the street.  He changed the whole sound of hip hop without ever signing on to major label, while also denying offers from labels all over the country.  He was independently producing these DJ mixtapes from his house in Sunny Side, overworking himself to the point of being an agoraphobic codeine addict, and sadly the combination of these two things were most likely what killed him.  I mean his discography is 248 fucking tapes, front and back.

This album is especially beautiful.  Essentially what he does is take vinyl records, slows them down on both sides and transfers and mixes all sorts of tracks.  On this record for example, he's all the way from Teddy Pendergrass to R. Kelly to Michael Jackson.  What Screw does, though, is he mixes it a lot like old school King Tubby era dub, where he brings up the bass, brings up the highs, and drops the mids and adds a shit ton of flange and a little reverb.  It gives it that syrupy sludge that just feels like H-Town.

This record is for.... well, you know.  And like DJ Screw said, "Im gonna let my hands do the talking."

Duke Ellington, Max Roach, Charles Mingus - Money Jungle

DUKE, ROACH, AND MINGUS ON THE SAME ALBUM!!?!?!?  I know, I was blown away too.  It's a beautiful album by a trio of some of the most influential jazz musicians of all time.  Released in 1962 when a lot of America was just getting into Bop and when a lot of the old Bop and Hard Bop musicians were starting to venture outwards.  John Coltrane had already released My Favorite Things, the Impulse! albums 1-5 had already been released, Free Jazz, a musical genre term "coined" by the legendary Ornette Coleman had already begun and had began to fizzle out by the time .  These guys were in their second, or in the case of Duke Ellington fourth, decade of jazz innovation.  This was some new ass shit.

Slave - Showtime 1981

MAAAN this group doesn't get enough credit.  That good late 70's and early 80's fantasy funk out of Ohio. Somehow Slave was one of the few funk groups that was immune to disco (not that there's anything wrong with disco!!)  It seems as if it's an Ohio thing, Ohio being one of the huge funk portals in the United States.  This record is one of their last successful records, landing on the Top 10 on the R&B charts in '81.  They do a good job of carrying that sci-fi fantasy torch handed off by Earth Wind and Fire into the 80's, bringing in that new groove while sticking to that old school.

Alfredo Gutierrez - Romantico

Alfredo Gutierrez is Cumbia Vallenato musician from the northern coast of Colombia where many of the original slave trading ships took dock.  He has been playing the accordion since he was four years old and is three time winner of the Vallenato Legend Festival.  While his tearing and soaring accordion lines are sort of non-traditional, his arrangements and the styles of Cumbia Vallenato that he tackles are anything but.  In fact, many of the pieces he arranges are a direct throwback to the early days of New World Cumbia.  A must have for Cumbia lovers!

Sabicas - Flamenco Puro

I've never been quite sure as to why Sabicas never generated the popularity that some of his contemporaries in the flamenco style did.  He was one of the great inspirations to the likes of Tomatito, Paco de Lucia, and Serranito.  Throughout the 60s and 70s US and European audiences were entranced by the style of Flamenco and fervently published album after album of any flamencero they could find, but Sabicas never joined the advance.  Perhaps his unique style correlates to his unique progression through popularity.  From the Romani gypsies, Sabicas had a wide and varied experience throughout his life, from being a working guitarist at the age of 6, to being exiled to South America during the Spanish Civil War with the dancer Carmen Amaya, rumored to be his lover.  Listen to this master, he is one of the greatest recorded guitarists in history.

Oliver "Tuku" Mtukudzi - Tsivo (Zimbabwe)

Oliver Mtukudzi was a Zimbabwean guitarist who started his notable career in 1977 with the group the Wagon Wheels.  He quickly became a pop sensation in not only Zimbabwe but all of Southern Africa and then the world.  Since then he has toured widely throughout Europe, North America, Asia and South America.  He sings in Shona, English,  and Ndebele.  His music has been known to have a slight political tinge but under Mugabe's oppressive rule this became increasingly difficult and his criticism became more and more subtle.  His beautiful airy and floating guitar riffs have a nostalgic tone and his husky voice pushes the lyrics to the forefront.

Aniceto Molina is a Colombian Cumbia Vallenato musician who leads the group Aniceto Molina y Los Sabaneros and has been recording albums since the early 70's.  His style is purely Colombian but his popularity extends widely throughout the breadth of South and Central America, as well as Texas, Arizona, and California.  The Vallenato style is a stripped down, very traditional style of Cumbia with a huge emphasis on the guacharaca rhythm.  Aniceto now lives in San Antonio, Texas and tours around North and South America consistently.
