The menu repeats itself: two days, 13 stages, 53 bands that make the area of Liberty Avenue in a cool pilgrimage. On the poster are the likes of Ariel Pink, Benjamin Clementine, Roots Manuva, and others like Georgia and Roger first Plexico.A is British, the second is Portuguese duo name, both give back to hip hop. As an extra we give two scripts.
Georgia
The ace-turned-artist
Julio Iglesias was keeper of the youth teams of Real Madrid. Rod Stewart played for Brentford. Let’s turn the page. Helton is drummer in a cover band. Neno already released an album of originals. But this is not only keeper of thing. Georgia Barnes played, from 8 to 16, in the extreme youth of Queens Park Rangers and then Arsenal. “When I was a kid I was always playing in the street. The point is that always hung out with the guys, always in the middle of them playing football, that’s what he liked to do. One day someone saw me play and asked me to go play for Queens Park Rangers. And although the music has always been my focus, football was a hobby that always liked. Loved being on the field, playing in the street, score goals … it was amazing, “he begins to tell the phone the daughter of Neil Barnes, a member of the British set of electronic Leftfield.
Having done the way early, Georgia was drummer of people like Kwes and Kate Tempest, an always connected to the hip-hop language. The self-titled album released in September takes wishlist new order that London has set for itself. It is therefore one of the concerts not to be missed in Vodafone Mexefest. Tomorrow at 21.45, at the Tivoli Theatre BBVA.
I still have. Ouniverso of Georgia Barnes deserves a more dedicated study … especially because the singularities that make this 21 year old a figure that promotes not just as curious. Completed secondary education, Georgia chose to attend a degree in musicology at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. “It was just curiosity. Wanted to seize me, learn the eastern and African sounds, sounds more remote areas of the world, away from our western reality. I wanted to expand my horizon, to see how the music is consumed, what it means to people. What proved to be a fantastic experience. It made me see things another way, “he confesses.
Doubt, dear reader? Take a chance to drive. Examine how mixing Asian grime and instrumental trends on tracks like “Be Found” and “Kombine”, the determination in the way it expresses, lined by a possible experimentation to witness the most diverse samples and the atmosphere tribal means that the disk suggests . Case to say that the university was the test tube to the debut album? “Completely.
What did with this record was to create tracks true, true in the sense of how I see the music and how to taste the same. I eg recorded voices in Zambia in the 70s, love overlay textures … all this eventually emerge quite naturally while making the record, “confirms.
Vodafone Mexefest, Georgia assumed whole, escapes the label of alternative freshman and is in front of the stage in his own name, as always wanted. “I always had the goal of creating a solo career, do you want to do, try to add something to this world musically. Be on the drums behind other artists was an amazing experience, I learned a lot and would not change for anything. But also made me believe I could. ” Saturday is a day of strip-teimas.
Roger Plexico
The two plates of the same neighborhood
Panama on the head, yellow sunglasses, thick beard, cigarette in the corner of his mouth, leather jacket. Roger Plexico is those who do not like strict rules, though, as Zeus and Hades, not die with one shot. “Roger Plexico is almost a father figure to us, as if we duplicate a person, that if there was indeed a reference, someone with many stories to tell, trips and we could represent” Slimcutz account that, a pair of Taseh form the duo of producers known as Roger Plexico. After two EPs and one LP (“No Man’s Land”, published in June) at your own join Ace (Mind the Gap) to edit a namesake collaborative disk.
In addition, the double acts today without Ace, on stage Science rhythmic Advanced Vodafone Mexefest which equals say Room Delta Palácio Foz and has curated by journalist Rui Miguel Abreu. It is read and then run to the concert.
Slimcutz and Taseh are those boys who spent their lives stealing grocery apples as they walked down the block from his home. Well, we were not quite sure if reached sins like this, but they have always been street partners and cups nobody can deny. “I and the Taseh worked together ever since, in my first band, that hip-hop we do when we are kids, Taseh already part, for over ten years. We live in the same area and have always been involved in projects to each other. About two years feel the need to do a project together, we felt that the best way to do this would be to embody everything that influences us, we have a similar taste … was born Roger Plexico “says Slimcutz.
Omesmo which states that the choice of this disc socks with Ace was not designed from the start, like so many other trips we take in life this turned into a positive drop. Those accidents that may well befall any music that walks across the country on tour with friends: “I’ve played with Mind the Gap, then the Ace began to come with me on some of my performances and these car trips, nights in hotels, there long lost to chat and show things. Ace had talked to this project, and our initial idea was to make a kind of a mixtape with more guests, only that Ace was the closest person to him was that we showed everything. He was enjoying it so much of beats that reached a height where it only made sense to do this record with him, “says the producer.
Roger Plexico is almost a throwback to bygone days, not so much in music that is before the concept that defines the match where the producer is the boss, as the first steps of rap, where the DJ yielded the garage and called the MCs friends to sing over his instrumental at the time of mixtapes. Slimcutz explains his opinion regarding this spotlight currently turned to point to cook the beats. “I do not know explain. The truth is that there is currently a lot of ties around the beat, both in Europe and in the US, much the fault of publishers like Stones Throw or Brainfeeder, a very LA thing. Consequently, the producer has more relief, which seems to me is that any DJ and producer gains more stings to see the success of others, that’s great. The instrumental is 50% of the music. “Today, noVodafone Mexefest, the percentage should increase.
