Ukubiza ikhonsathi, ngakumbi leyo yemvumi yeengoma zenkolo, isityhilelo singaphaya kwento. Ukanti alikho elinye ixesha elingcono elichaza ixesha lokuqala endabona ngalo ongasekhoyo uNusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
Kwinqanaba lakhe, imvumi yeqawwali yasePakistan yayingomnye weemvumi ezazinomdla kwaye zinomdla ngexesha lakhe, kwaye ngobo busuku ngo-Okthobha u-1992 eSanders Theatre eCambridge, eMass., Wacula umculo wakhe wokuthandaza weSufi ngokulahla ngokupheleleyo. Injongo kaQawwali kukusondeza abantu kuThixo, kwaye ukuva uMnu. Khan ebopha imigca yokukhathalela umntu onesidima, bekucacile ukuba uhlobo oluthile lokugqwesa luyenzeka . Abanye abantu babenemincili kangangokuba baseta ialam yomlilo, kwaye isakhiwo kuye kwafuneka sikhutshwe. Kusondele iyure idlulile ngaphambi kokuba sivunyelwe ukuba sibuyele ngaphakathi, kodwa akukho mntu wagodukayo okwethutyana.
Ndabona umnumzana uKhan ekhonsathini kabini ngaphezulu, eTown Hall ngo-1995 – apho ndandihleli ecaleni komlandeli okhohlakeleyo uJeff Buckley –kwaye kwiRadio City ngo-1996. Kumsitho kamva, kwacaca ukuba kukho into engahambi kakuhle. Umnumzana uKhan ngoku wayesindwa kangangokuba wayefuna ukuncedwa eqongeni. Ukusebenza kwakhe, nangona wayenobuchule, wayethotyiwe. Kunyaka nje omnye, izintso zakhe zaye zangenelwa sisifo seswekile ekudala sikho. Wayeneminyaka engama-49 ubudala.
Kungekudala ngaphambi kokuba asweleke, uMnu. Khan wangena estudiyo kunye nomvelisi uRick Rubin ukurekhoda iingoma ezisibhozo ezisandula ukukhutshwa njengediski yediski ephindwe kabini, ethi The Final Studio Recordings (American / Legacy). Umnumzana Rubin usenokubonakala njengolukhetho olungaqhelekanga kwi-albhamu ye-qawwali, kodwa umsebenzi wakhe wakutshanje noJohnny Cash ubonakalisa ukuba uyala ukuxuba umculo wesintu. Isandi apha si-crisp, kwaye i-tabla kunye ne-harmonium – ekuphela kwezixhobo ngaphandle kwelizwi-zimpontshelwe phezulu kumxube, konke kungcono ukuva indlela abazitwabela kamnandi ngayo yonke into eyenziwa ziinqwelomoya zeemvumi.
Ngaphandle kwemigangatho embalwa, uMnu. UKhan ubuyisela umva uninzi lwediski yokuqala, eshiya isabelo esikhulu somlilo kumntakwabo omncinci, uFarroukh Fateh Ali Khan, kunye nomtshana wakhe, uRahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. (Ngokuhambelana nesiko losapho, uMnu. UKhan wayesele ebize uRahat njengendlalifa yakhe. Usandula ukukhupha icwecwe lakhe elilelakhe, nakwaseMelika kwaye liveliswe nguMnu Rubin; uzakudlala kwiBowery Ballroom ngoJuni 13.) Kwidiski yesibini, uMnu. UKhan ubonakala efudumele emsebenzini wakhe, edubula ejikeleza i-daredevil scat ecula njengoko ikwayara ikhula ngamandla emva kwakhe. Zizinto ezintle, kodwa kuthatha ixesha ukuya kuyo.
Umnumzana uKhan wayekuko konke okusemandleni akhe xa wayetyhala ilizwi lakhe elingxolayo, nelizwi elinomphefumlo ukuya kwindawo engaphaya nangaphaya, kodwa ngexesha lokurekhoda ezi ngoma, wayegula kakhulu ukuba angayenza loo nto ngokungaguquguqukiyo. Abasandul 'ukufika kulo msebenzi ubalaseleyo womntu kufuneka baqale bafumane uShahen-Shah, ukuqala kwakhe ngo-1989 kwiLizwe leNene, okanye nakweyiphi i-disc ye-En Concert e-Paris kwi-Ocora. Ngokungafaniyo nokuGqibela ukurekhodwa kweStudiyo sokugqibela, ezo albhamu ziqulathe uhlobo lomculo ocima iialam zomlilo.

Imigca emhlophe: Amhlophe amakhulu amhlophe
Kufuneka kubekho into kwiSchlitz. I-Midwest ibikhupha iimoto kunye neenkozo kunye neekhemikhali ezinobungozi kunye nesityalo emva kokuvunwa kwe-hayseeds ejongene ne-pasty ukusukela nge50's. Ikwayilo lizwe eliye labambelela ngokuqinileyo kubuqaqawuli, uhlobo oluqinileyo lwerwala elimhlophe-nokuba uninzi lwezi zenzo yayingesiNgesi. Ngasekuqaleni kweminyaka yee-1970, bebesele behleli bonke kwindawo yokuphelisa igesi ixesha elide engekaphumi. I-MC5. I-Stooges. Neil Oselula. Isabatha emnyama. Uluhlu luyaqhubeka, kwaye uninzi lwabafileyo abahambayo basesendleleni.
Ke malunga nexesha lokuphindukuzalwa ngokutsha ukuze sibambe iintliziyo neengqondo zolutsha lwethu olwalulambe ngokwenkcubeko. Kuzo zonke iVelveeta iMidwest evelisile, ngamanye amaxesha iza neLimburger – eluhlaza, ekrwada, ethambileyo. Yimigca emhlophe leyo.
Ukusukela oko babonisana nge-buzz e-Mzantsi nge-Southwest Music Festival e-Austin ngo-Matshi, lo dade ungumzalwana-duo osuka eDetroit uye watyhalelwa phambili kwindawo entsha yegaraji. Ngaba ilitye legaraji liya kuba yinto enkulu elandelayo yomculo? ii-wags kwi-Entertainment Weekly zisandula ukuzibuza. Owu, yiza. Wonke umntu uvile ngentaka. Eyona nto ibalulekileyo onokuyithetha malunga nelitye legaraji kukuba akuzange kubekho nto intsha ngayo; ihlala ityhilwa kwi-tinny, ikhululwe, iblue-based skronk. Umculi uJack White, odlala isiginkci kunye nepiyano ngelixa udade wabo omkhulu uMeg ebethelela amagubu njengeSasquatch, kubonakala ngathi uyayazi le nto emathanjeni akhe.
Ngaphandle kwesithambiso sabo sokunxiba kuphela ezimhlophe okanye ezibomvu kunye nokubiza amagama angcwalisiweyo ka-Blind Willie McTell kunye no-Loretta Lynn, ii-White Stripes zijongana nezingavuselelwanga kwi-albhamu yabo yesithathu, Iiseli eziMhlophe zegazi (Uvelwano kwiRekhodi yeRekhodi), ene Umdaka wee-Buzzcock apha (Fell in Love With a Girl), u-Iggy Stooge we-vintage wakhwaza apho (Elindele) kunye nezinye zezona zinto zilungileyo ze-crunge riffs kuba uJimmy Page wayesalawula amathumbu akhe. Kwaye benza oku ngaphandle kokuqikelela nakweyiphi i-scuzz-rock ediniweyo 'tude evela kuMnu Blues Punk His'sef, uJon Spencer.
Kulungile ndiyaxolisa / Kodwa andinamdla kwimigodi yegolide, imithombo yeoyile, ukuhambisa ngenqanawa okanye ukuthengisa izindlu nomhlaba, uJack White ubhengeza (nangona amazwi aphakanyiswe kwiCitizen Kane) ngexesha lokungenelela kwi-Union Forever. Ndingathanda ukuba yintoni? / Yonke into oyithiyileyo. Imivimbo emhlophe iyavakala ngokungathi abakabinamaphupha atyunyuziweyo, kwaye yindlela elungileyo yokuphila.

I-White Stripes izakudlala iBowery Ballroom ngoJuni 16-17, kunye neMercury Lounge ngoJuni 18.
URon Sexsmith: Inkwenkwana, Luhlaza?
Kwenzeka ngalo lonke ixesha kwimiboniso bhanyabhanya: Imbongi enentliziyo ethambileyo iwela kunye nomvukeli onomphefumlo omnyama, kwaye ngaphambi kokuba uthethe uSal Mineo, itakane elincinci liyabhadula lijikeleza idolophu yakhe linxibe ibhatyi yesikhumba, linuka indawo ngomphefumlo we-bourbon kunye ne-dime-store nihilism. Phambi kokuba ugqibezele iipopcorn zakho, uswelekile- luphawu lobumsulwa obulahlekileyo, okanye uburhabaxa obunje.
Le meko yawela engqondweni yam xa ndabona ukuba inkosana emnyama yaseNashville, uSteve Earle, ivelise i-bard ejongene nomntwana kwi-albhamu entsha ye-Ontario Ron Sexsmith, iBlue Boy (Spinart). Ngokwenyani, impendulo yam yokuqala yayi: indibaniselwano enomdla. Njengoko ababhali beengoma behamba, uMnu Earle kunye noMnumzana Sexsmith zezinye zezona zinto zibalaseleyo esizifumeneyo, abafana abahlala bedala iihlabathi zehlabathi zemizuzu emine ezibonakala ngathi zicacile ngokwasemoyeni njengalowo uqhubeka ngaphandle kweengcango zegumbi lethu.
Emva koko ndakhumbula ukuba la madoda aneembono zehlabathi ezahlukeneyo. Umnumzana Earle yi-pragmatist – icwecwe lakhe lokugqibela elinengoma ethandekayo ebizwa ngokuba Andifuni Ukulahlekelwa Nguwe – Ngelixa uMnu. Sexsmith uhlala ethembile, nokuba sele esisithunzela. Ngokwazi kwam / Ubumnyama ngokunjalo / Unxibe isigqubuthelo esifihlakeleyo, wacula kwi-albhamu yakhe yesibini, Ezinye iingoma.
Iindaba ezimnandi zezokuba uMnu. Sexsmith akatsali iMineo kwiBlue Boy. Umnumzana Earle utsala uthando lwakhe lweeBeatles psychedelia, iReggae kunye nomgibe kwaye unika uMnumzana Sexsmith ukukhaba umculo eblukhweni. Nangona icwecwe linamaxesha alo amabi (mamela umzekeliso, apho ophulukene nehlwempu ezibuza khona: Kuya kuthini ukuba laa mntu uphumeleleyo / abenokuba nengozi encinci?), I-romantics ethetha ngokucacileyo ka-Sexsmith iyaphumelela.
Umzabalazo phakathi kobumnyama kunye nokukhanya unokufunyanwa kwingoma yokuqala, Le ngoma. Ngelizwi elizwakala ngathi liyingxubevange egudileyo kaVan Morrison noChet Baker, uMnu. Sexsmith ucula ngokuzisa ingoma ecekeceke kweli lizwe, ebuza ephindaphinda, Ingaphila njani le ngoma? Kodwa ukwazisa: Andisoze ndiyishiye le ngoma ndedwa / ndiza kuyigcina / ndikhuselekile kwaye ndishushu / Kuba intiyo yomelele / Kwaye ubumnyama buyachuma.
Ayizizo zonke iingoma ezikwiBlue Boy eziyigugu. Umzimba olilayo kunye nomgca wekatala we-Cheap Hotel uvakala kakuhle, kodwa amazwi, malunga nomfazi obalekela umyeni wakhe oxhaphazayo, uzive un. Kodwa akukho clunkers yokwenyani. Umnumzana Sexsmith uyaqhubeka nokupakisha amazwi akhe amnandi alula kunye nezinto ezimangalisayo. Kwi-Fallen, umzekelo, usebenzisa umfanekiselo wamagqabi ekwindla ukufuzisela hayi into enokuqikelelwa yokufa, kodwa uthando olunzulu: Kwaye amagqabi aphulukene nokubamba / Kwamasebe njengesiqhelo / Okusishiya sinegolide / Nombala wewayini iindlela / Ngendlela efanayo, ndikuwele.
Kukho amaxesha – anje nge Ungabuzi Kutheni kwaye Intliziyo Yam Yodwa Talkin' – xa umculo uvakala kakhulu njengo Mnu. Earle ukuba ulindele ukuba uve ilizwi lakhe elidiniweyo kwihlabathi malunga neegitala ze-jangly. Emva koko uMnu. Sexsmith uyabonakala kwaye akwenze ukholelwe ukuba abantu abanethemba lokuzithemba banokusebenza kwihlabathi eliyingozi.
