We use melodies and harmonies to make songs enter your mind.".... .. So declares the celebrated Senegalese master-musician Baaba Maal of the songs on Television, his new multi-lingual album, released 1st June. Television was made in London and Dakar, the Senegalese capital. Baaba Maal worked on its eight songs with various musicians, but most specifically in a collaboration throughout the recording with singer Sabina Sciubba and keyboardist Didi Gutman, both members of New York’s Brazilian Girls, who blend electronic dance music with a diversity of eclectic styles. .. ..

In the early 90's he was playing in the Parisian subway when his ..soul / funk / blues style.. alerted an A&R passing by, who signed him at Virgin France. His first album entitled .."Blufunk is a Fact" ..gave birth to the legendary success single "..rhythm is love"... His last album .."Black Orpheus" ..(2003) sold 300 000 copies in France and 500 000 worldwide... Keziah was on tour with Manu Chao, from october 5 in London until october 21 in Cologne. ..He is now preparing his new album with Karriem Riggins as a producer (Common, John Legend, The Roots...), "NIGERIAN WOOD" released on September 1st and signed at Because Music. ...... .... ....KEZIAH JONES ON TOUR.. ..More info.... .... .. ..Keziah's Myspace.... ..Keziah's official Site.... ..Because Music Website.... ...... .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..__________________________________________________________________.. .... ......KRYSTLE WARREN.. ......Folk / Blues / Rythm & Blues............ ..  .. .. ....Seeing Krystle Warren perform for the first time is a striking experience. First, there is the utter improbability of it all: she shuffles onstage with little more than a low-key hello, and proceeds to sing with an effortless power that completely belies her tiny frame. Hearing her fill a crowded club without using a microphone … that’s a Voice. And then there are her vocal stylings, which feature a melisma as rich as that of Wonder or Hathaway, but put all of that technique at the service of music that has never heard such a thing – folk and country, songs influenced by everyone from Nick Drake to Joni Mitchell to Willie Nelson. But when you’ve gotten past the incongruities, you quickly begin enjoy her for what she is – a wholly original singer-songwriter-poet in an age of few.... ...read more.. .. ........ ....Krystle's Album "Circles" is out now..!

His songs have an innocent, romantic, almost mystical quality that seeks out the magical in the everyday. They feel like dream soundscapes, alien but strangely beautiful... Most of Fredo's songs begin as improvisations, weaving multiple vocal lines into a sparkling tapestry of melody, harmony and counterpoint. Electronic or acoustic instruments are added afterwards, but the voice remains central. Sometimes he uses pure sounds instead of words, but always with a strong emotional impact... "When I started out making music," Fredo says, "it truly was just a means of getting in touch with a more honest part of myself.".. Born in London, Fredo spent his early childhood in England and Rome before his family relocated to America - first New York, then Los Angeles. In his teens, he sang professionally as a boy soprano with LA's celebrated Bob Mitchell Boys Choir, then left to study in New York with ambitions to become a film-maker. He is now firmly based in New York, where he perfected his unique fusion of music, performance and multi-media visuals... Fredo's debut album ..'The Turn'.. combines traces of singer-songwriter pop, ambient electronica, classical, religious hymns and even mediaeval folk ballads. He cites a broad range of inspirations including ..Harry Nilsson, Bartok, Kate Bush, Bach, Belle and Sebastian, Shostakovich, Boards of Canada, Stravinsky, Odetta.. and ..Alfred Schnittke... But his mesmerising music clearly has a strong and singular voice that is entirely his own.......Fredo Viola's debut album "The Turn" is now available..... .... .. .... .. ..Fredo's Myspace.... ..Fredo's official Site.... ..Because Music Website.... .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .... ________________________________________________________________ .. .. .. .. ........JJ CALE.... ....Country / Blues / Classic Rock.......... ........JJ Cale adds new dimensions to his timeless sound on his first solo album in nearly five years, following his Grammy-winning collaboration with ..Eric Clapton.. on ..'Road To Escondido'...... .. On 9th March, Because Music will release JJ Cale’s ..‘Roll On’.., the legendary songwriter and guitarist’s first solo album in nearly five years and his debut for the label. ‘Roll On’ follows Cale’s Grammy-winning, gold-certified 2006 album with Eric Clapton entitled 'The Road to Escondido.' .. .. The title track, ‘Roll On’, is a previously unreleased collaboration with Eric Clapton and further evidence of the pair’s incredibly fruitful, simpatico creative partnership. “He's a superior musician,” says Clapton, “One of the masters.".. .. Eric Clapton recognized Cale’s unique talents a long time ago. Two of his biggest hits as a solo artist - ..“After Midnight”.. and ..“Cocaine”.. - are Cale-penned songs. The broad range of artists who have covered Cale include ..Johnny Cash.., ..The Band.., ..Captain Beefheart.., ..Santana.., ..Spiritualized.., ..Beck.. and ..Band Of Horses..; while ..Mark Knopfler.., ..Neil Young.., and ..Bryan Ferry.. have all cited his influence... .. The new album is full of timeless grooves and the meticulously understated production that he is known for, but it also adds new dimensions to the "classic Cale sound.".. ..Just press play on the new record and all of a sudden there's JJ Cale jazz-scatting for the first time on disc opener "Who Knew," and later he's loping along behind a restrained jazz piano on "Former Me." Cale even adds an element of humor to the lyrics of the laid-back jam "Where The Sun Don't Shine.".. .. ..JJ Cale's 'Roll On' released on March 9th..... .. ..

In 2000 ..SMOD.. was born, composed of four young boys from Mali: Sam, Ousco, Donsky and Mouzy, whom since has followed a different way. Their music is a mixture of rap, hip hop, folk and tradition. They released their first album titled .."Dunia Kuntala".. in 2002 and another one in 2004 .."TA I TOLA"... The same year, ..they win a gold disc.. with the song "Politic Amagni", taken from the album of ..Amadou and Mariam "A Sunday in Bamako"... Since then, they participate in many ceremonies such as the African Cup of Nations, as well as numerous festivals (CRAVEN TOUR ...) and give more than 50 concerts a year throughout Mali. In 2005, the videoclip of "Dakan" directed by Fabrice Brovelli won a great success and continues to be broadcast on TV in Mali. Faced to such a talent, ..Manu Chao.. decided to produce their third album. Produced in Mali and France, it comes out in spring 2009. Meanwhile, the three young rappers occur on the French scene. .... .. ..SMOD's Myspace.... ..SMOD's official Site.... ..Because Music Website.... .... .... .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. ..__________________________________________________________________.. .. ....LA PHAZE.. ....Punk Rock / Jungle / Pungle.......... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ......La Phaze: .."A band designed for live performance"....

    .. ........BECAUSE SHOP ONLINE........ .. .... .. .. .. ...."Why Because?", are we being asked..... The question contains the answer. Because: full-stop, full-page... Listening again and again to the fatalistic speeches from the majors? No way! The artists have never had so much tools to diffuse and distribute their music and songs. With an unashamed diversity, an amazing vitality, music has never been in a greater shape than in 2006. .. ..Now that artists are used to freedom and possibilities that new communication tools offer them, they tend to reject the industrial standard formulas: networks like myspace.com have created the ideal reference library of the global village, and a wonderful link between musicians and their fans. In this context, why would they stay stuck within the Frenchy-French frontiers?.. ....More than a records company, Because is going to be a platform where the artists can exchange, cross over and express themselves..... ..No more compartmentalizing: as an international and open-minded label, Because will side with artists to help them spread in the best way their message, their image and their ideas... With a cross-disciplinary vision, our teams will walk aside our artists as small but strong commandoes. Music and politics, too frequently separated since ideals have fallen down, will find here a fertile dialogue... ..At the meeting point of genres, www.because.tv will be a place to meet and greet, and a think-tank for everyone. Fresh ideas, being political, poetical, visual or musical ones, will find there a free and natural dashboard... We'll bring the care and following through of a craftsman, coupled with the vision, means and modernity of a multi-cultural firm: here is the strength of Because, in front of the future musical broadcast stakes, from Internet to wireless telephony... When, backed up by Manu Chao, we propelled Amadou & Mariam from Mali up to worldwide success, when we convinced Air, Jarvis Cocker and the producer Nigel Godrich to work on the factual album of Charlotte Gainbourg, Because has reminded that independence (of mind and means) would never act as an enemy of professionalism: that we could favour content with no despise for the form and vice versa... ..The label will also be pounding that the chapels' era is over: since it is natural in 2006 to listen to worldwide sounds in a random mode, the label welcomes either Justice's electro-shock or Asyl's biting rock, either Tandem's rough rap or La Phaze's slogans.. ..Since being open-minded is a philosophy and neither a carelessness, nor a pious hope, Because will stay as demanding, hard to please, vigilant and watchful as curious about everything and everybody... .. ..
