CHARTRES-TOPPER
in addition the 2nd day of Musique Action tonite, a last-minute Rupture solo DJ set will go down in Chartes (Orleans) tomorrow, and I’ll rejoin The Ex + Getatchew Saturday in Kortrijk, Belgium.
Outside our hotel there’s a Turkish restaurant where they’re listening to music on the room speakers & simultaneously blasting saz pieces from laptop’s YouTube link.
Expect more polyrhythm/cacaophony as our attention spans shatter along digital fault-lines.

the cumbia bug is infectious! Time to release more spores:
Afrosound - Ponchito de Colores
I’ve got multiple versions of this song, here’s the weirdest one– whoop whoop, plus someone quacks the bassline. This version is by Afrsound (thanks Sonido). All the others are from Ecuator. At this moment, a stronger blogger could resist the urge for ‘cute alpaca foto’…
Grupo Ginnsu - Cumbia de los Patos
(”Ducks’ cumbia”? am i missing something?)

WOWOWWWWW
that odb - baby i like it raw cumbia remix is so hot what’s it called????
May 9, 2008
sorry, I’m about to be a bit of an ass but I can’t help myself- it’s a wah that the guitar player’s using there- tremolo is rhythmic amplitude modulation.

I think everyone knows this is a wah wah effect (I play guitar too)
May 10, 2008
Yes, definitely a wah wah. Lots of tremelo efx can be heard in the Peruvian cumbia of the 70’s. It gives the guitar a shimmering sound found in rockabilly and surf records.
May 10, 2008
wah it is! corrected, thanks.
Afrosound!! gracias Sonido!
