*places a coyote skull on the table* Soooo here’s a prompt for a Jason xJazz fic. Our lovebirds are getting serious to the point of discussing marriage. When Dick finds out, he immediately gets one of those mail-order ordinations and insists of officiating at the wedding. Shenanigans ensue!

As someone who isnt even able to drink yet, none of my friends have had weddings yet and I know jack shit about weddings and how they work. I shall throw this prompt to the rest of y’all because this is adorable and just incredible. I’d love to see how people run with this idea

GONDRAMAZ ACOLHE O PROJETO “DACORDAMADEIRA” DO MÚSICO QUINÉ TELES

Será no deslumbrante cenário da aldeia do Gondramaz que o músico Quiné Teles apresenta o projeto “DaCorDaMadeira” no próximo dia 2 de setembro às 22 horas

Integrado no programa XJAZZ, promovido pela Agência para o Desenvolvimento Turístico das Aldeias do Xisto em colaboração com o Jazz ao Centro Clube, Quiné Teles apresenta na idílica aldeia do Gondramaz o seu projeto DaCorDaMadeira, no qual participam também  Rita Marques (voz) e Nuno Caldeira (guitarra/voz).

Este trabalho nasceu em 2001 a partir de uma viagem ao imaginário da África Austral. É fruto das vivências musicais e extra-musicais do autor e reflete um universo muito personalizado da música tradicional, portuguesa e do mundo, transportada para a contemporaneidade.

Com a introdução de uma voz feminina, guitarra electro-acústica e a utilização das novas tecnologias na música, DaCorDaMadeira apresenta atualmente um espetáculo com um conjunto de matizes diversos que passam pela recriação de belíssimos temas do cancioneiro popular assim como a reinvenção de trava-línguas, numa perspetiva de worldmusic.

Tendo editado em 2008 o seu primeiro álbum a solo (da cor da madeira), Quiné Teles prepara atualmente o seu segundo registo discográfico, a lançar em 2017.

O Município de Miranda do Corvo disponibiliza transportes a partir da Praça José Falcão, mediante inscrição no Posto de Turismo ou na Biblioteca Municipal Miguel Torga.

Entrada gratuita.

xJazz - Meet the Band: Kasiva Mutua (Kenya) & Marlyn Chimombo (Malawi)

Kasiva Mutua - Drummer

Jackline Kasiva Mutua (Kasiva) is an internationally touring drummer and percussionist based in a Nairobi, Kenya. Her exuberant performances reflect a panoply of influences, including afrobeat, zouk, samba, reggae and soul. Describing her beginnings as a young drummer, Kasiva says: “I grew up a curious child. I listened carefully to every sound; bird calls, cricket chirps, cowbells and traditional drums are embedded in my mind and now I chant them in my sleep. Most evenings my sister and I would recline by the fire and listen to stories narrated by our grandmother. She would sit with a drum between her legs and teach us the traditional mechanism of our people: the language of the drums. Perpetuating our people’s heritage, she introduced me to drums and shakers, celebrating our community’s spirit and also imparting moral guidance.”

Recommendations for XJAZZ, Berlin

So,the biggest Jazz Festival of Berlin is just around the corner. From the 3rd to the 7th of May 2017 genres will be bend and melted in more than 80 g. So, since it’s not that easy to find your way through all those names and different styles, I took some time to find out who you should see (if you were me) - one of them already being sold out. That’s Fink’s Sunday Night Blues Club. I love Fink but I’m still pondering if I ever want to see him playing live again. The last time was quite an emotional journey for me. 

Well, here are five bands I want to recommend to you. First of all (an no surprise): Liima. I still love their debut album “ii”. It’s always a very fascinating experience to see those four creating sounds and music...when you’re able to focus on that and not dance with your mind drifting into other spheres. 

Secondly: Peter Broderick. I think to follow Peter Brodericks releases is quite some work. Sometimes it feels like he is always releasing something, some side project, some work with friends, some solo stuff. I think his last solo release was the stunning “Grunewald” EP which was recorded in just one night in a church in Berlin, surrounded by a thick forest. During XJAZZ he’ll play in a church again but this time surrounded by Kreuzberg. I expect beauty. 

Ever felt like being part of a group without being part of the group? That’s how I feel recommending Martin Heyne. Broderick, Efterklang (which just in case you haven’t known it yet: are partly Liima), Heyne...they know each other, worked together and played together. Heyne works with electric guitar and loops creating amazing soundscapes. He shows you what loops are for. 

Ok ok, there are some artist who don’t belong to this group and you should check out like Suff Daddy & the Lunch Birds. He’ll play a Hip Hop live set and just just a lame DJ set, so we all should get excited about this and since it is freezing cold outside, it’s also a good opportunity to do some warm up dance.

And last but not least: Dillon. Her voice sounds like from a different time but still rooted in today. She makes darkness bearable. And since she describes her next album an “album of love” we even may feel the sunshine in her voice in our souls. 

For more information on who plays where and other well needed informations, please go to http://www.xjazz.net/berlin-2017/.

See you there,

Dörte
