A saga continua... 2010

  
De-Phazz - Lala 2.0 - 2010

Sublime I

The Supreme Beings of Leisure’s unique sound was created almost by accident; while recording a rap demo, Rick Torres, Kiran Shahani, and Ramin Sakurai asked Geri Soriano-Lightwood to try her hand at writing and singing over the tracks. The result was a pleasant surprise, and a new kind of band was born. The Supreme Beings of Leisure blend clever programming and seductive grooves with distinctive vocals communicating sentiments of longing and disillusionment. The inimitable result has garnered praise from fans and critics alike.

The Bluefoot Project are an amalgamation of urban heads. Formed in 1997 and sharing a variety of musical backgrounds they set about fusing many different styles into a vocal-led, beat-driven, 21st century soulful funk with nods in the right direction to reggae, hip hop, gospel and leftfield.

Porque não?

Hoje senti este impulso, fortemente influenciado por alguns blogs que contribuem definitivamente para o enriquecimento da minha cultura musical, sendo o meu preferido o TRIP HOP X.
Quero expressar aqui, públicamente, a minha sincera homenagem ao X, pelo seu bom gosto e generosidade em partilhar com todos nós as suas preferências musicais. (sem menosprezar tantos outros)
Como gosto de partilhar algo que admiro e me delicia, vou tentar seguir o bom exemplo dos X's que pululam por aí.
E agora chega de retórica...
