Yungchen Lhamo - Coming Home - Tibet

El viaje desde Lhasa en el Tíbet en el Himalaya, a Dharamsala en la India tiene que ser uno de los más exigentes y físicamente extenuante hazaña que cualquier persona puede realizar y, sin embargo cientos de tibetanos lo hacen cada año en busca de libertad. Yungchen Lhamo a recorrido este camino del exilio cuando era un adolescente en 1989. Su talento musical ya había sido reconocido en el Tíbet, donde su nombre, que significa "diosa de la melodía y la canción" fue dado a ella por un hombre santo.
En los últimos años ha publicado tres álbumes en Real World Records. "Tíbet Tíbet", "Coming Home" y, más recientemente, "Ama", que incluye duetos con Annie Lennox y Joy Askew. Yungchen tiene una voz con una claridad y pureza asombrosa. Sus canciones son cuentos íntimos de amor por su patria su pueblo y su historia es un emblema de coraje, la perseverancia, la dedicación y el genio musical.

Tuff Lion - Ten Strings - Islas Vírgenes - Caribe - 2008

Tuff Lion is an artist, himself, who could well be described as a ‘modern classic’. The very fact that you and I are existing in a frame of life which happens to not only coincide with this man’s own, but this man making music at the height of his powers is something really special. Long a fixture on the Virgin Islands Reggae scene, the Lion has played for just about every remotely prominent and gifted Reggae artist from out of the VI as a producer, a musician, an arranger, a writer and pretty much just everything you could want. In 2007, the master guitarist from out of St. Croix released his very own debut album, the very well received ”Utterance”, which actually featured him taking things to the mic and singing throughout the very strong affair. The very next year, however, he outdid himself and did so in the most natural and organic way that he possibly could without uttering a single syllable on one of the finest albums the region has ever produced. “Ten Strings”

On an album like this, besides the quality of a particular sound and song (which is unquestionable in this case), everything is left to the individual perceiving that sound. What I mean is that, when I analyze these songs, where there’re no lyrics, I’m likely (and hopefully) to get something out of them which you won’t and which Tuff Lion didn’t when he made the songs. The album was pushed by I Grade Records, and was, essentially, Tuff Lion’s own musical efforts on some of the riddims from I Grade - Basically placing music where there is generally lyrics. The results were outstanding and probably pretty difficult to analyze. I think I’ll try it anyway.
