Dancin Mogadishu - Somalia 1972-1991 |
| | Description: | 'DANCING MOGADISHU - SOMALIA 1972-1991' - After being blown away by a few tunes
-probably just as you will be after listening to this- Samy Ben Redjeb travelled
to the infamous capital city of Somalia in November of 2016, making Analog
Africa the first music label to set foot in Mogadishu. On his arrival in Somalia
Samy questioned the need for a vehicle full of armed chaperones casually toting
Kalashnikovs, deemed necessary to accompany him to the radio station archive
every morning, but then began rifling through piles of cassettes and listening
to reel-to-reel tapes in the dusty archives of Radio Mogadishu, looking for
music that 'swam against the current'.
The stars were aligned: an uncovered and unmarked pile of discarded recordings
was discovered in a cluttered corner
of the building. Colonel Abshir -the senior employee and protector of Radio
Mogadishu's archives- clarified that the pile consisted mostly of music nobody
had manage to identify, or music he described as being 'mainly instrumental and
strange music'. At the words 'strange music' Samy was hooked, the return flight
to Tunisia was cancelled. The pile turned out to be a cornucopia of different
sounds: radio jingles, background music and interludes for radio programmes,
television shows and theatre plays. There were also a good number of disco
tunes, some had been stripped of their lyrics, the interesting parts had been
recorded multiple times then cut, taped together and spliced into a long groovy
instrumental loop. Over the next three weeks, often in watermelon-,
grapefruit-juice and shisha-fuelled night-time sessions behind the fortified
walls of Radio Mogadishu, Samy and the archive staff put together
'Mogadisco: Dancing Mogadishu - Somalia 1972-1991'. 'Mogadisco' was not Analog
Africa's easiest project. Tracking down the musicians -often in exile in the
diaspora- to interview them and gather anecdotes of golden-era Mogadishu has
been an undertaking that took three years. Tales of Dur-Dur Band's kidnapping,
movie soundtracks recorded in the basements of hotels, musicians getting
electrocuted on stage, others jumping from one band to another under dramatic
circumstances, and soul singers competing against each other, are all stories
included in the massive booklet that accompanies the compilation - adorned with
no less then 50 pictures from the '70s and '80s.
As Colonel Abshir Hashi Ali, chief don at the Radio Mogadishu archive -someone
who once wrestled a bomber wielding
an unpinned hand-grenade to the floor- put it: "I have dedicated my life to this
place. I'm doing this so it can get
to the next generation; so that the culture, the heritage and the songs of
Somalia don't disappear." - DANCIN MOGADISHU - SOMALIA 1972-1991Gatefold sleeve with 16-page LP-size booklet and download code."Mogadisco ? Dancing In Mogadishu (Somalia '72-91)" is a captivating Vinyl Maxi compilation released by Analog Africa, featuring an eclectic selection of Somali music recorded between 1972 and 1991. This album transports listeners to the vibrant nightlife and dance floors of Mogadishu during its golden era, blending funk, disco, soul, reggae, and traditional Somali rhythms into a unique sonic journey. The tracks are carefully curated from rare recordings that survived decades of political turmoil and cultural change in Somalia. Each song reflects the cosmopolitan spirit of Mogadishu at the time?a melting pot where African grooves met Western influences with infectious energy.
