Various Artists - Crepuscule in Nickelsdorf - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

A vibrant mix of creole heritage. The music of Sakili is from the island Rodrigues, a small volcanic island just east of Mauritius. The island's European and African influences - waltzes, polka, mazurka, Scottish - all blend harmoniously with the ségadrum rhythms to intertwine the past musical traditions of African slaves with the western world. The three members of Sakili (Francis Prosper, Vallen Pierre Louis and Ricardo Legentil) had their own solo careers and were put together in 2019 by Mauritian artistic director Percy Yip Tong. The purpose of the group's formation was for a European tour to introduce the rarely heard music of the Rodrigues island.

2016 , the sixth studio album from alt-rock band Garbage Shirley Manson, Steve Marker, Duke Erikson and Butch Vig. Working initially in Vig's basement and then at Red Razor Sounds in Los Angeles, Garbage drew on a variety of sources, from their recent fan letters back to the albums they loved growing up. InchThe guiding principle was keeping it fresh, and relying on instinct both lyrically and musicallyInch, said frontwoman Shirley Manson. InchStrange Little Birds is less fussed over than anything Garbage has ever made. We fell in love with immediacyInch, adds Vig. Some will hear echoes of Garbage s 1995 debut album in Strange Little Birds including Manson herself. InchTo me, this record, funnily enough, has the most to do with the first record than any of the previous records,Inch she says. InchIt's getting back to that beginner s headspace.

Violinist Marie Nadeau-Tremblay presents Préludes et solitudes, a very personal album of pieces for solo unaccompanied violin by Baroque composers such as Telemann, Purcell, Torelli, Baltzar and Biber. The booklet for Préludes et solitudes includes Nadeau-Tremblay's poems inspired by each piece she selected for the program, and the album cover is a self-portrait by the violinist, who is also an accomplished visual artist. InchThis album is the result of hours of solitary practice during the long confinement of 2020, as well as even more countless hours spent in the greatest solitude dreaming, drawing. And writing. In music as in writing or drawing, my desire is always the same - to share the atmosphere, the feeling of a precious moment,Inch writes Marie Nadeau-Tremblay. Named Radio Canada Classical Revelation 2021-2022, Marie Nadeau-Tremblay is also the recipient of the Choquette Symcox Award from Jeunesses Musicales of Canada. Her album La Peste with Les Barocudas (ACD2 2809) was one of CBC Music's top 20 classical albums of 2020 and was nominated for a 2021 JUNO Award. Album Tracks 1. Prélude en Fa Majeur 2.
