Selected Improvisations from Golha, Pt. II

by Morteza Mahjubi

Morteza Mahjubi (1900-1965) was a Iranian pianist & composer who developed a unique tuning system for the piano which enabled the instrument to be played in all the different modes and dastgahs of traditional Persian art music. Known as Piano-ye Sonnati, this technique allowed Mahjubi to express the unique ornamental and monophonic nature of Persian classical music on this western instrument - mimicking the tar, setar & santur and extracting sounds from the piano which are still unprecedented to this day.

An active performer and composer from a young age, Mahjubi made his most notable mark as key contributor and soloist for the Golha (Flowers of Persian Song and Poetry) radio programmes. These seminal broadcasts platformed an encyclopaedic wealth of traditional Persian classical music and poetry on Iranian national radio between 1956 until the revolution in 1979.

Presented here is a collection of Morteza Mahjubi's stunningly virtuosic improvised pieces broadcast on Golha between the programme's inception until Mahjubi's death in 1965 - mostly solo, though at times peppered with tombak, violin & some segments of poetry & song.

The vast collection of Golha radio programmes was put together thanks to the incredible work of Jane Lewisohn & the Golha Project as part of the British Library's Endangered Archives programme, comprising 1,578 radio programs consisting of approximately 847 hours of broadcasts.

Bellissima playlist di mezz'oretta con dentro alcuni dei più grandi artisti afro-beat, afro-psych, afro-funk.

Fra essi spiccano il camerunense Francis Bebey e il nigeriano William Onyeabor che vi avevo già presentato su questo topic. 

Buon ascolto :afro:  (tutto il canale è consigliatissimo :pollice: )

Pochi sanno che la Lambada non è una canzone dei brasiliani Kaoma, ma una cover della canzone dei Los Kjarkas, gruppo originario delle Ande della Bolivia, intitolata Llorando Se Fue. Il leader della band boliviana, Gonzalo Hermosa Gonzalés vinse la causa contro Bonaventura Jean-Claude, produttore dei Kaoma, diventato così miliardario: VIVA BOLIVIA! :dance:

 

Nel 1989, anno della Lambada, i Kjarkas tornarono a suonare il loro classico Llorando Se Fue
