UPDATE ON MUSIC FOR THE KIDS' ALBUM!!!

By Music For The Kids, 2011-07-20

Hi everyone! The latest news on the album is :- CD Baby have given us a special rate for posting the album with them (it will only be available for download, as physical CDs involve more outlay) The album will be available first on Mixposure then on CD Baby UNICEF have finally given us an answer :- We CAN’T use their logo, but we CAN state that all proceeds will go to UNICEF We hope to have the album on sale by the end of September (still a couple of hoops to jump through, lol) . Once again, thanks so much to everyone who is involved in this project! Special thanks to Dazed for his invaluable help! By the way, the Executive Director at UNICEF Switzerland tells me that charity CDs don’t sell well! LET’S PROVE HER WRONG!

Decisions, Decisions...

By chrismoore, 2011-07-19

The difficulty, when you've been away for a while and you have got a few songs waiting to see the light of day, is knowing which one to put up next.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to listen to Walking on Water, the first solo song I've floated out there into the wide world for over a year. Thanks also for the reviews, you guys! I've been a bit slack in that department myself, but I'm now home for three whole lovely weeks and I'm going to hunt out some of the great tracks hiding on here so's I can pinch some of your ideas (only joking ).

In the end I decided to put out a new song called "Skies of blue" next. Back to my secret eco-warrior stance for this one, something with a similar story line to my old song "Contranature" but written from an after-the-event perspective. One day I might even write a happy song, who knows

Here's the link to the new one - thanks for listening if you got this far.

Skies of blue

All the best

Chris

El Kady & THE MEDIA

By Admin, 2011-07-17

El Kady & THE MEDIA "El Kady incarne à lui seul le métissage de rêve. L’Afrique, l’Inde et l’Europe coulent dans ses veines. Sa musique est fidèle à son image." Laurent Saulnier - VOIR … “ El Kady, a pioneer of World beat in Canada, brings us a cosmopolitan sound of diverses languages and rhythms.  A mixed background of African and Latin cultures has prompted the singer to impart on their rhythms a jazz-rock-funk quality that lends a contemporary flavour to all his compositions.” – INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL OF MONTREAL MAGAZINE   …“ El Kady, un ensemble cosmopolite, envoûte un public enthousiaste au Festival International de Jazz d’Ottawa.  Leur son provient directement des pays chauds où le rythme est omniprésent.  Une musique qui a inspiré Paul Simon pour sa tournée « Born at the right time ».” – Marc-André Joanisse – LE DROIT "Ricardo Pellegrin El Kady, who originally hails from Senegal and Guinea Bissau, at the doorsteps of the Mandingo and Malien empires, has one of the encyclopedic knowledges rhythms in Montreal." Andrew Jones - Montreal MIRROR … « La musique d’El Kady est étoffée avant d’être exotique, également plus poussée que la moyenne des musiques pop de n’importe quelle souche. » - Alain Brunet – LA PRESSE …“ El Kady fait partie de cette nouvelle génération de musiciens par qui la musique témoigne d’une culture mondiale profondément métissée. ” - Paul Cauchon – LE DEVOIR « El Kady crée une saudade qui ne renonce pas au rythme.  Il habite ses textes d’une voix voilée et très touchante.  Ne manquez pas ce précieux représentant d’un style unique. » - ICI « Il y a de l’espace dans cette musique, l’Afrique, l’Asie, l’Europe, et une richesse qui ressemble à la vie d’El Kady.  El Kady est un voyage en lui-même… c’est de ses influences culturelles africaines et latines qu’émergent… les sons afro-jazzy, les guitares espagnoles, les sambas brésiliennes, les ballades cap-verdiennes.  Un mélange sensuel, spirituel et actuel qui transporte vite ailleurs. » - POSITIVE CARIBBEAN MAGAZINE

a new song........a new style

By jvtuttle, 2011-07-14

i found that the lead riff don't make good sense if it don't end wellso i came up with the idea of 'DRAWING A CONCLUSION" how do you make a good ending.....you conclude a conclusion.........you end an end........you play until what your ending is resoved in laymens termes...........lol.................so if your drawing a conclusion to every lick you play how do you go on........I suggest instead of starting a fresh idea make the solo just a conclusion of your original idea.......look at this new song of mine and see if you like the idea..........<a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/joel_tuttle/song_focus_25025.php">Re-Now-Er</a>
