Pyaar Baile – DJ Rekha feat. Zuzuka Poderosa & Meetu Chilana

We’ve been supporting Zuzuka Poderosa and Dj Rekha for years over here in Montreal. I actually brought them both to town 2 years ago (Jan & April 2009) and it’s awesome to see them work together on a track. Not sure when this is released, but it should be soon! You can get more info on the track in a recent Ghetto Palms’s column.

Zuzuka is on the rise right now thanks to a very dynamic and positive team around her and we can’t wait for her collabo with Sonora from Austin. Talking about Austin, if you’re going to SXSW in a couple weeks watch out for some massive nights during the fest courtesy of Orion and friends. As a matter of fact, if you follow the “”tropical”" (yes 2 quotes) scene, you should definitely consider going. I know Zuzuka will be there.

Check out the video interview we did with Rekha 3 years ago:

Prophex – El Pakete (Kuduro Caliente)

Très grosse track de Prophex de NYC qui achève un long processus de brassage des musiques dans ce morceau qui mélange Jerk, Baile Funk et Kuduro bien sûr, avec un rap locura en espanol. Le morceau Masala par excellence! C’est quand même fou que le Kuduro d’Angola parce qu’il est si présent au Portugal, puis en France, amène les majors du disque à créer cette sous merde de collaboration entre Lucenso et Don Omar, qui a définitivement implenté le Kuduro dans l’univers musical Latino Américain. Un voyage musical vraiment incroyable qui s’augmente encore d’une étape avec ce morceau décidément ancré dans l’univers sonore de New York. Masala aime beaucoup, probablement le morceau du mois.

Very big track by Prophex from NYC which ends a long process of music mixing in this song which has elements of Jerk, Baile Funk and Kuduro of course, with Spanish rap. The best example of a Masala track! When you think about it, it’s a fantastic journey from Angola, through Portugal, then France, which brings Major Labels to release the shitty collaboration between Lucenso and Don Omar, which definitely implemented Kuduro in the latin american sonic soundscape. A long journey indeed and that’s the latest step. Masala likes this a lot, probably track of the month.
