12:Tribes Of Mars - Hidden Sun ♥️🎷💛🎺💚 available on digital and on limited edition vinyl Out on @dubophonic.records 👉 👉 👉 https://ffm.to/hidden_sun The long-awaited debut album from @12_tribes_of_mars 12 is finally here! Hidden Sun is available digitally and also as a limited edition vinyl pressing of just 200 copies — and we truly recommend every track! This five-piece band delivers a rich and unpredictable musical journey: laid-back grooves, upbeat rhythms, post-rock textures, catchy melodies and subtle electronic touches. Throughout the album runs a deep reggae and dub spirit, with melodic hooks and occasional detours into jazz and free improvisation. It may sound like a lot, but it all comes together beautifully thanks to the band’s strong musicianship and carefully crafted compositions. Listening to Hidden Sun feels like drifting through a warm summer afternoon in the park, only to suddenly find yourself on the dancefloor. Through their musical spaceship, 12 Tribes of Mars take listeners on a journey across many worlds within the universe of sound. Enjoy the journey ♥️💛💚 Personnel: Andrius Dereviancenko – saxophone/fx / James McClure – trumpet/fx / Azubike Onwuka – bass guitar / Robin Engelhard – guitar / Onno Govaert – drums Production: Recorded at Ruigoord by Mozes Meijer / Mixed by Ruben Kieftenbelt / Mastered by Attie Bauw / Artwork and graphic design by Goytung #reggae #dub #ska #jazz #dubophonic

Heute Abend, 14.03 — 21:15 - IBELISSE GUARDIA FERRAGUTTI & FRANK ROSALY: 
MESTIZX im @kunstraum_walcheturm «Lots of sonic wonders colliding in really great ways» schwärmt der US-amerikanische Radiosender NPR über das Debütalbum MESTIZX von Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti und Frank Rosaly. Der Titel lehnt sich an das portugiesische Wort mestiço an, eine Bezeichnung für «Mischlinge» zwischen Indigenen und Europäern aus der Kolonialzeit. Als eine Form des Empowerment dekolonialisieren die Sängerin mit bolivianischen sowie brasilianischen und der Schlagzeuger mit puerto-ricanischen Wurzeln diesen Begriff. Sie mischen Bomba und Cumbia mit Avant-Jazz- und Post-Rock-Elementen zu einem einzigartigen Spektrum von Klängen. Dabei verbinden sich musikalische Berührungen mit kosmologischen Erzählungen zu einer einnehmenden und energiegeladenen Musik. Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti: voice, guitar, synths, performance Frank Rosaly: drums, percussion, electronics James McClure: trumpet, synths Lida Brouskari: synths Uldis Vītols: bass guitar #zürich #music #festival #Walcheturm #concert
