Of late I have been avoiding mainstream music, getting away from all the pop culture and looking or those hidden gems. I was pleasantly surprised with Rafiqi’s Uupara. Catchy beats, easy to follow lyrics. I found myself nodding my head and singing along. This for sure sounds like the kind o music I would play on the road, chilling at home and I can for sure hear it playing at a club. So basically, What I’m really sayings (pun intended) is Uupara will be on my playlist and I look forward to more from this new sound.
DJ Twenty6 Remixes Kalimpantu
Good People,
We are all that describes excitment, joy,happier, partier & delighted in sharing with you DJ Twent6 mix of Kalimpantu, be sure to drop by their camp on — This Beat is Distorted fan page on Facebook.
“I felt the song had a great vocal performance so I decided not to overshadow, but to expose the depth of the song through basic drums and little or no synthetic sounds. So I chose to use a basic piano with 1 repeated note, a brass section on parts and another piano and xylophone fusion with a basic progression. The song deserves to have its message heard clearly, so the instrumental should be as simple as possible” says John Zgambo better known as DJ Twenty6

“Return of the Boogie Nights”
Jamukarie – Sound Track Video is OUT!!
Inspired by the pilot for the short film “Return of the Boogie Nights” produced by Myndz Community, music trio Rafiqi were casted for the pilot and were so impressed by the location and decided to use the site to shoot the music video Jamukarie.
” Its quite an urban mystical place,”says Ezeek, Rafiqi vocalist, “I remember at one point two white horses appeared from nowhere while we were shooting and the house itself, has a character of its own,”
The video has an erring feeling which reflects the mysticism surrounding the house.
“Jamukarie is a excellent piece of work, from a likewise brilliant project that is Kalimpantu the album, way to go Rafiqi!” Dj Dubwise
Uupara remix by limoNero – just in
The Rafiqi-captained ship “Spread Luv thru music” docked in Nerthelands recently to find limoNero; a hiphop and dubstep producer who translated Uupara- a single from Kalimpantu, the latest offering from Rafiqi, to a dubby hiphop mix “I started producing in january 2009,” he names his main influences as; jay dee, el-p, 9th wonder, madlib, dan the automator and the rza.
A quick visit to his profile gives you a taste of what you can expect from limoNero. He says about working on Uupara, ” I wanted to make the mix a uptempo song…I treid to make the track ‘hip-hop’ (boom bap drums) but on the other hand I wanted to contribute to the ‘sound’ of the vocals,” that explains the funky guitar one can hear on the track.
Listen and Download the mix here.
