Etuk Ubong is without a doubt one of the most electrifying trumpet players in Africa.
Seun Kuti himself called him ‘one of the best things to come out of Lagos,’ and it’s easy to see why. Etuk picked up the trumpet at 14 and hasn’t looked back since.
What sets him apart is his fusion of Afrobeat, Highlife, Jazz, and the traditional drumming of the Ekombi, creating his signature sound, 'Earth Music.' It’s a captivating mix of spiritual, high-energy, and deeply moving rhythms.
I had the chance to sit down with Etuk before his set at the Dürchluften Festival 2024 and our conversation was nothing short of inspiring.
We dove into his musical influences, deep connection to Fela Kuti, jazz studies at the University of Cape Town, and how he crafted his unique genre: Earth Music.
We also touched on the importance of documenting your journey online, and Etuk had some incredible insights to share on that. Chatting with him was a spiritual experience, and I hope you'll feel the same listening to the episode. 🎧

Odd Okoddo is a duo from Kenya and Germany, comprised of Olith Ratego and Sven Kacirek. The two artists crossed paths in Kenya around ten years ago when Sven Kacirek was working on his album "Kenya Sessions," which gained him recognition as a global producer.
In 2018, they officially formed the project ODD OKODDO, combining their diverse talents seamlessly. Together, they create an energetic and vibrant sound that showcases Ratego's impressive vocal range and variety of tones alongside Kacirek's exceptional percussion skills. Olith Ratego specializes in singing in a musical style known as "dodo," originating from the shores of Lake Victoria in Kenya.
This traditional female singing style is widely popular among Luo communities. In our discussion, we delved into Olith's deep passion for music from a young age, the significant influence of Tabu Osusa (a passionate Afro-Fusion producer who discovered him), the encounter with Sven, and various aspects of Dodo music in addition to their debut album Auma which was launched in 2019.
It's been such a fantastic chance to meet Olith and Seven, truly extraordinary individuals.

This area has a special connection to South American and Brazilian jazz, not only musically but also lyrically.
The compilation and his "music migrations" ideas have also evolved into a festival known as "Transatlantica," held in Genova, the capital city of Liguria.

Eve Risser, a talented performer, composer, and arranger from France, is the founder of The Red Desert Orchestra. This ensemble comprises nine skilled European musicians and was founded by Risser herself.
The group focuses on two main programs: Kogoba Basigui and Eurythmia. Kogoba Basigui originated from collaborating with seven (now six) Malian musicians based in Bamako (Kaladjula Band). In comparison, Eurythmia involves the collaboration of the Red Desert Orchestra with three Burkinabe musicians residing in France.
Within this framework, Eve Risser showcases her skills and talent by fusing European orchestral sounds, free jazz, and the vibrant musical heritage of Mali to guide you through a spiritual journey inspired by her work with Nainy Diabaté.
Our chat covered numerous fascinating facets of the Red Desert Orchestra. We started with Eve's reflections on the JazzFest performance, her connection to African and Malian music, and the challenges of managing a music project that bridges African and French influences, both musically and sociologically. To finish, Eve shared insights into her significant sources of inspiration drawn from Malian music.
Meeting Eve was a wonderful opportunity to explore a powerful ensemble with the primary goal of positively impacting the world. Take pleasure in listening! 🎧

Nicola Conte, a talented Italian DJ, producer, guitarist, and bandleader, has gained recognition for his distinctive contributions to the acid jazz genre. Growing up in the charming city of Bari in southern Italy, he always had a deep passion for expressing himself through music.
Inspired by his journeys to London and influenced by what was happening between jazz and clubs in the UK with people like Paul Murphy and Gilles Peterson, Nicola embarked on a mission to cultivate an alternative cultural scene by putting on parties with other forward-thinking DJs and musicians within Bari.
This led him to establish the renowned Fez Club - a vibrant space where individuals could fully immerse themselves in an entirely new world inspired by London's dynamic cultural landscape. In doing so, Nicola laid the groundwork for what would become known as the Italian acid jazz movement. Through his creativity and musical prowess, Nicola has left an indelible mark on the industry while continuing to captivate audiences worldwide with his unique soundscapes.
I'm highly grateful for having the chance to sit down with Nicola, as he also shared advice on spreading culture by studying music and great insights for aspiring DJs and musicians who want to express themselves through music. Enjoy listening! 🎧

The Paradise Garage. One of the most important and influential clubs in New York. Michele Saunders, a Parisian native turned lifelong New Yorker, knows it well. Growing up listening to her father's records, Michele found her passion in exploring the crossroads between Jazz and Rock at least.

In today's chat, we discussed all this, starting from her childhood, the time spent in New York City in the 70s and 80s and, of course, the legendary Paradise Garage.

Today, it's my birthday! For the occasion, I've decided to share a special interview with Tim Lawrence, one of the most profoundly passionate music historians of the New York Dance scene of the 70s and early 80s I have ever met. And what better day to honour the legacy of David Mancuso? Birthdays. David loved birthdays. In the children's home where he grew up, Sister Alicia used to hold birthday parties for all the kids under her care.
I've spoken about this with Tim Lawrence and the other issues related to the music at The loft, David Mancuso and the History Of New York City party culture. Tim is a Professor of Cultural Studies and Co-director of the Centre for Cultural Studies Research. He teaches music and is the author of seminal books. One above all, "Love saves the day". A brilliant documentation of the dance and disco scene in New York during the 1970s with interviews from key players in the era, such as Frankie Knuckles, Francis Grasso, Nicky Siano, etc. In today's interview, Tim passionately shared the details and his own experiences. Honestly, it was more than an interview. I wish I could spend more time listening to Tim, shedding light on the contribution of music legends and what New York in the 70s was all about.
I hope you will experience the same! ✨

"Jazz is always present in our life. It's a sensation of freedom. The possibility to express yourself, mind and heart on that precise moment." Jazz has constantly been part of Azymuth's spirit. You can hear it everywhere. Furthermore, their open-minded vision of creating music back in the '60s and 70's lead them to mix Jazz with Samba and rock uniquely. Among the many songs they made, there's one in particular that I always love to listen to. It's called "Villa Mariana". I believe a perfect way to describe their timeless music. In today's interview, Azymuth talks about the past, present and future of Jazz, its musical roots and the contribution of festivals like Jazz:Re: Found to Jazz music. You will also hear some great stories from Kiko about Villa Mariana. Enjoy the chat! I know I did 😊

"My parents bought me this album called JAZZMATAZZ by Guru. It was surprising to me listening to a new concept of Jazz blended with Hip-Hop. From an early stage, I was lucky enough to be able to discover a beautiful world." Denis was 14, and that album completely changed his view and approach to music. Most importantly, it was the first piece of the puzzle to discover different sounds, from house music with Nuyorican Soul to Acid Jazz with Jamiroquai and Incognito. His trips to London in the late 90s - enjoying the legendary Bar Rumba club nights founded by Gilles Peterson - and the first festival experience at Big Chill- led him to create Jazz:Re:Found. Certainly, one of the best Boutique Jazz Festivals in Italy, with great attention to the new wave of UK jazz. In today's interview, Denis talks about his musical background, the route into the festival industry, and what to expect from the fourteenth edition of Jazz:Re:Found. Listen in to get inspired!

Hey music lover! Maikol here 👋 It's finally time to share with you a new chapter. If you noticed, I changed the podcast cover - Disco, Funk, and Jazz music culture. Well, everything that is my passion for music boils down to those genres. My involvement in music has primarily been inspired by my family & my home town. I grew up listening to the sound of Hector Lavoe, thanks to my mother, who had the patience to inject me with her love for "El Rey De La Salsa". When I was a teen, I loved buying CDs in specialized stores, and one of them shaped my musical taste: a compilation of disco, funk and soul (by @djtommyvee ). So initially leaned in that direction, discovering more about the history and its influence. I got deep into it with the help of my best mate, who took me to record shops. My life experiences did the rest. The most important were the weekends at the Moxa Club listening to legends and the meeting with Jean-Paul Maunick. (my first time at Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club in London). So, I'm here to tell you about a new exciting mission. Helping you discover the power of African American Music. Ready for this new chapter together?
