“A straight-up funky, raucous, dancefloor-troubling, riot-provoking monster. Februar 2010: Letzte Ausgabe im Katalog: 20. “A truly genre-bending international music juggernaut.” -Pop Matters, USA The Souljazz Orchestra, from Canada!” -DJ Gilles Peterson, BBC Radio “Souljazz is more than just a band for us, it’s a way of life.” “When you’re this passionate about music, it’s not something you can turn on or off like a tap.” concludes saxophonist Ray Murray. So far, the Ottawa-based sextet has been fortunate enough to bring its dynamite show to over two dozen countries across the globe, sharing bills along the way with heavyweights such as Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, and Femi Kuti, while showing no signs of slowing down. Meanwhile, years of relentless touring have formed the Souljazz Orchestra’s live concerts into the stuff of legends – more often than not culminating in ecstatic, sweat-soaked, cathartic affairs, mixing pulsating arrangements with eruptive improvisations. Rising Sun (2010), Solidarity (2012), and Inner Fire (2014), the group’s first three albums with Strut Records, were subsequently recognized as landmarks within their respective genres, going on to be nominated for multiple Juno awards in Canada. Breaking through on Toronto label Do Right!, Freedom No Go Die (2006, featuring the single ‘Mista President’) and Manifesto (2008) set the bar high. Now celebrating its 14th year, the Souljazz Orchestra continues its impressive run of memorable albums. Una sucesin de espacios de una hora de duracin, sin solucin de continuidad, en la que cada sonidero compartir con el conductor y la audiencia. Recorded using the group’s signature analogue techniques, the resulting album is a bold musical statement, a defiant celebration of social justice and human empowerment. Sonideros es un programa de msicas diversas, conducido por Rodolfo Poveda y diseado para disfrutar en directo los hallazgos y propuestas musicales de cuatro crticos y DJs (entre ellos DJ Floro, DJ Bombn, Luis Lapuente y Kiko Helguera). In keeping with the group’s previous work, the band maintains powerful lyrics at the heart of its music, delivering some biting social commentary alongside messages of hope. “We were keen to build on the band’s sound and message, so I brought in some of the French Caribbean and Francophone West African influences that I’ve loved since my youth.” Consequently, the new album adds fresh dancefloor-oriented elements of Coupé-Décalé, Zouk, and Ndombolo to the band’s heavy mix of Afro, Soul and Jazz styles. “We approached this album with a fresh ear,” explains composer Pierre Chrétien. The multicultural collective surfaces with a hard-hitting new record for the fall of 2015, Resistance, resuming its link-up with UK-based Strut Records.
