Soundlandscapes. Worldwide Migration. Unknown artists. Street credibility. Maga Bo. Archipelagoes.
Maga Bo is from Rio. And Maga Bo likes travelling. He goes far South to find music far away from mainstream productions (and yes, I'm a fan of globalized underground mainstream sounds!).
If he's not working as a sound engineer in Rio, he's travelling, recording, producing and giving production classes in Africa. As a natural result of this, his first album " Archipelagoes" was born and embraced in the family of DJ Ruptures Soot Records. You see, Maga Bo is active.
He's played all over the place from Zanzibar to Senegal to New York to Sri Lanka and so forth. And lately he even made it to London's Fabric, which to me is pretty much impressive, bearing in mind that Fabric is known for electro, drum n bass and raves, and Maga Bo is someone coming from a world music background. See, globalization in music is coming closer and closer!
Anyways, this guy has some defenite production skills to offer, which give Archipelagoes this rough, street style, electronic, dark, hip hop, oriental ragga touch. He travelled all the way to bring a couple of street musicins together, which brings people into our focus who we usually would never ever hear of in our modern Western lives. Collaborations include the Senegalese hiphop godfathers Pee Froiss, new school Moroccan rap heroes Bigg and K-Libre, ragga dancehall man Teba from Cape Town, Zanzibari taarab master Mohammed issa Matona and many more. In fact every of the 12 songs is a collaboration.
Check out Xuman and Bigg especially, as theY're roughneck good!
Archipelagoes is a world record, for globalized people. A migration in sound as a result of globalization, a mixture of styles, sounds, ethnicities and cultures. Sound is migrating and so does Maga Bo. Archipelagoes is just another word for it. Maybe it's even another state of being.
