TEJO BEAT :: 20º aniversário do disco de culto que reúne 10 temas inéditos (produzido por Mario Caldato)

TEJO BEAT :: 20º aniversário do disco de culto que reúne 10 temas inéditos

Participam no disco: Cool Hipnoise, Da Weasel, Primitive Reason, Ithaka com Arkham Hi*Fi, Boss AC, Flood, Blasted Mechanism, Zen, Blind Zero e Ornatos Violeta.

Há duas décadas, no âmbito da Expo '98, Henrique Amaro reuniu os talentos emergentes da música nacional da época, criando pontes entre os diferentes géneros e sensibilidades artísticas que se afirmavam e conquistavam públicos.

Esses mesmos artistas são hoje importantes nomes do panorama musical contemporâneo: Cool Hipnoise, Da Weasel, Primitive Reason, Ithaka, Arkham Hi*Fi, Boss AC, Flood, Blasted Mechanism, Zen, Blind Zero e Ornatos Violeta.

Num formato de workshop musical interativo, as bandas colaboraram com os produtores Mário Caldato Jr. e Mário Barreiros na criação de um disco que viria a ser editado com selo NorteSul / Valentim de Carvalho.

Deste trabalho conjunto, saíram 10 temas inéditos e exclusivos da coletânea, motivo pelo qual volvidos 20 anos "TEJO BEAT" goza de estatuto de disco de culto.
A edição em CD encontra-se há muito esgotada, mas a tecnologia está do nosso lado e é já possível ouvir este registo único e histórico do final do século XX em Portugal.

Henrique Amaro, diretor artístico do projeto, recorda como nasceu o conceito e como decorreram as gravações, numa verdadeira viagem no tempo em pleno Parque das Nações.

Armando Mendes – Parallel Universe – Turquoise Records

by Greg Fenton for Magazine Sixty

See original article here: http://www.magazinesixty.com/armando-mendes-parallel-universe-turquoise-records/?fbclid=IwAR0yiJE5Yg8LaQd3oZB7C707VHB3XMdmUSceVyum-qUw12R7Wc2Jy76WrQU

Beginning at the start with this thought. Some music is more important, more meaningful than others. That is not to be elitist, it’s simply a statement of truth. Listening to Armando Mendes journey into experience conjures up that implication as sounds, moods and musical possibility are all visited upon the listener via a joyous intent. The first thing that strikes you here is the sheer breadth of sight and notation which has been soaked up and then transferred through the stereo of life. Quality and imagination are bywords. For example experience the warm, poignancy noted across the beautifully haunting Things U Do 2 Me, Acid is then consumed by the grainy rhythms of the fierce Acid Yardies, while the soulful tear of Robert Owens is laid bare upon No Regrets – with one of his finest vocals. Never sticking to a single idea the music evolves in many exciting ways such as on the ambient bliss generated by MS20 Interlude, leaving darker impressions to contrast with One Night in Bangkok, or on the sublime electrics of Parallel Universe. It’s all just about discovery. But back to the very beginning as Ithaka ignites the thought-provoking This Life’s All We Got in low-slung, funky ways by breathing the anticipation of life into all the happens next.

Release: February 7

NEW YORK, NY (JANUARY 13, 2020) — The International Center of Photography (ICP) will open its new integrated center at Essex Crossing on Manhattan’s Lower East Side with CONTACT HIGH: A Visual History of Hip-Hop, one of four inaugural exhibitions. It will be on view at ICP at 79 Essex Street from January 25 to May 18, 2020.

Produced and originated at the Annenberg Space for Photography, Los Angeles’s premier destination for photography, CONTACT HIGH: A Visual History of Hip-Hop is a journey through nearly four decades of photography, documenting a movement that impacted music, politics, race relations, fashion, and the culture at large. Curated by Vikki Tobak, based on the bestselling book of the same name, and with creative direction by Fab 5 Freddy, the exhibition includes nearly 150 works from 60 photographers, including Janette Beckman, Jamel Shabazz, and Gordon Parks.

This expanded CONTACT HIGH exhibition includes nearly 10 new works and more than 75 unedited contact sheets from Barron Claiborne’s iconic Notorious B.I.G. portraits to early images of Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, and Kanye West. It will also display the Dapper Dan jacket made for Rakim and the crown worn by the Notorious B.I.G.

“CONTACT HIGH celebrates a musical genre that speaks truth to power and the photographers who played a critical role in bringing hip-hop’s visual culture to the global stage. It provides a rare, inside look at the work of hip-hop photographers through their unedited contact sheets,” said Tobak.

“ICP is thrilled to open our new space on Manhattan’s Lower East Side with CONTACT HIGH and bring this important work to a New York City audience. As relevant now as when they were made, the images in this exhibition reveal complex and nuanced negotiations of self-presentation—foreshadowing our own selfie age— within and without the confines and stereotypes of the hip-hop scene,” said Mark Lubell, ICP’s Executive Director.

“The overwhelming number of visitors in the Los Angeles region to CONTACT HIGH was a testament to the importance and impact of these images,” said Wallis Annenberg, president and CEO of the Annenberg Foundation. “The role these photographers played in shaping hip-hop culture and beyond is incredible. It’s only right that our most popular exhibit to-date come to New York City, the birthplace of hip-hop.”

The exhibit also includes a documentary short film featuring CONTACT HIGH photographers at work and in conversation, including BarronClaiborne, Brian “B+” Cross, Eric Coleman, Estevan Oriol, Ithaka Darin Pappas, Jorge Peniche, Jamel Shabazz, Janette Beckman, Joe Conzo, Jack McKain, Dana Scruggs, and Danny Clinch. The film is produced by the Annenberg Foundation and Radical Media.

During the run of the exhibition, Tobak and several photographers featured in CONTACT HIGH will participate in public programs and other events for students, museum goers, ICP members, and the general public. In addition, new exhibition-related retail products will be available exclusively in ICP’s new shop. More details will be announced in the coming weeks.
