Música en julio. La trilogía berlinesa de David Bowie (Low, «Heroes», Lodger) para escuchar en los trayectos fuera de casa, Foreign Tongues, lo… ¿último? de The Rolling Stones, Francis Bebey me cautivó con Concert Pour un Vieux Masque, y obviamente iba a escuchar Hitotarashi el reciente single de Keisuke Kuwata pues se trata de la banda sonora de Akane Banashi (48 años de carrera y es la primera vez que escribe música para un anime).

I have loved #FrancisBebey since I first heard his album "Super Bebey" played on a Public Radio world music program in the mid '90s. He still sounds like magic.

Francis Bebey – Idiba

https://amf.didiermary.fr/francis-bebey-idiba/

“Idiba” (face B : Madonna Verona) est un 45T sorti par Francis Bebey en 1970, qui est certainement le premier titre d’inspiration Makossa diffusé en disque. La chanson sera ensuite reprise par de nombreux autres artistes.

Trésor Magnétique – Francis Bebey

https://amf.didiermary.fr/tresor-magnetique-francis-bebey/

Francis Bebey was a true musical trailblazer. An artist who refused to choose between past and future, tradition and technology. Born in Cameroon and educated in Paris, Bebey carved a path all his own, blending pygmy flutes and thumb pianos with drum machines, tape loops, and synthesizers long before such hybrids became common. With this […]

Francis Bebey – Psychedelic Sanza

https://amf.didiermary.fr/francis-bebey-psychedelic-sanza/

The incredible “Psychedelic Sanza (1982-1984)” album is a beautifully dreamy celebration of the uniquely affective timbre of the sanza, or African thumb piano, by Francis Bebey.

[…] I did not participate in the production of the various records that my father devoted to the sansa. He did it himself, you might say, in his “laboratory.” […]
