He belonged to a crucial generation centered around the 1950s, which also included César Bolaños, Leopoldo La Rosa, Celso Garrido-Lecca, Enrique Pinilla, and Francisco Pulgar Vidal. These musicians were responsible for introducing locally the new languages of the international musical avant-garde, in a meeting with the legacies of Peruvian native music, where the folkloric material was used under very free a…

Yet simultaneously, the artist wants us to stay where we are and focus on the immediate surroundings in search of our personal attachment to the wo…
Brazil Primitivo Vol.1: Rhythms, Legends & Styles (1899-1963)
The great majority of Brazilian music compiled, notoriously abroad, always has been focused on the same stereotypes, and musical genres as trad-samba and recycled bossa nova. Until now!

Messe aux Oiseaux
Electronic music work: “Messe aux oiseaux” (1986)in new version (1999), “Ave Maria” (1987). "Electroacoustics to me is like abstract paintings, and that is what I tell people who question my sanity when they hear what I want to play to them. Can they accept abstract art, or does it have to be figurative, naturalistic? Most people tend to accept abstract art, and comparing electroacoustics with nonfigurative painting tends to ease the tension a bit when I insist on demonstrating some electr…

Subversion
With Pierre-Jean Guidon (Moravagine, Chute Libre) as their saxophone player, Subversion (from France) played lowkey jam-orientated Progressive Rock with prominent folk and jazz flavors. However, despite the brainy exterior, their soft music had more in common with the naivety of the 60’s Yé-yé movement and lounge-pop in general. Thus they seemed to belong to a bygone era, one far removed from the upcoming punk-rock and new-wave one.
Speed Limit
Revolving around three Magma members (Jannick Top, Joel Dugrenot et Yochk’O Seffer), Speed Limit has put out two cult albums during the 70’s, paying homage to Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew as well as Nucleus’ Elastic Rock. Mixing jazz, progressive rock, avant-garde pop, classical and Zeuhl music has never been a problem for the French septet, and even though its name sounds pretty obscure for the mainstream amateur, every French underground music lover sings praises about the band.
