Blok 1: Dobranotch – 20 years

Dobranotch has come a long way since their founding two decades ago.

Their new album, because of the 20 years anniversary of Dobranotch, is just released this month and is called ’20 years’.

Blok 6 Amadou and Mariam – La Confusion

It’s 13 years now since Amadou and Mariam suddenly became celebrities, thanks largely to Manu Chao’s production work on the bestselling Dimanche à Bamako. The blind Malians went on to play at rock festivals and perform for Barack Obama, but have never quite matched the freshness and exuberance of that masterful album. Now comes their first full set of new songs in five years, dominated by the input of French producer Adrien Durand, named La Confusion .

Label: Because Music

 

Blok 7 Rim Banna –The mirrors of my soul
Palestinian vocalist and composer Rim Banna has made a career out of leveraging respect and dignity for her people using her unmatched artistic expertise and integrity. Banna studied singing and conducting at the High Institute for Music in Moscow, one of the world’s more challenging conservatory environments.  With The Mirrors of My Soul, Rim Banna makes her international debut as a solo artist. Recorded and produced in Oslo by Erik Hillestad with Norwegian musicians, The Mirrors of My Soul is a collection of powerful, gripping songs about the hopes and tragedies of the Palestinian people. They include stories of children who have become martyrs in the Palestinian struggle for liberation, stories of sons jailed in Israeli prisons without ever being convicted by any court, stories of living in exile after being robbed of house and home as well as Palestinian folk songs. All the songs are performed in Arabic and many were composed by Banna and her husband, guitarist Leonid Alexeinco, with lyrics written by Banna’s mother.
