Este álbum viene como una edicion única y muy limitada de vinilo y CD de 1000 copias. Enrique Rodríguez y el grupo negra chiway Band tienen un sonido instantáneamente poderoso y único que recuerda a los conjuntos de Sun Ra y su Arkestra; así como a Horace Tapscott y su pan-afrikan Peoples Arkestra; uno que canaliza los espíritus justos de Alice Coltrane. John Coltrane; Pharoah Sanders; Archie Shepp y McCoy Tyner junto con un ritmo Latino impresionante y una nueva conciencia y energía de percusión. A estos se suman elementos de las bandas sonoras de las películas Samurai de Akira Kurosawa; la espiritualidad musical de Popol Vuh (especialmente su trabajo con el director de cine Werner Herzog); el budismo tibetano y cánticos desbordantes; que se combinan para dar un nuevo sonido verdaderamente único.
Powerful new spiritual jazz from Chile on Soul Jazz Records! This album comes as a very limited one-off unique pressing of 1000-edition vinyl, limited edition CD and digital release. Enrique Rodríguez and the Negra Chiway Band group have an instantly powerful and unique sound that is reminiscent of the ensembles of Sun Ra and his Arkestra as well as Horace Tapscott and his Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra, one that channels the righteous spirits of Alice Coltrane, John Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp and McCoy Tyner together with a stunning Latin rhythmical and new consciousness and percussive energy. Added to this are elements of the Samurai film soundtracks of Akira Kurosawa, Popol Vuh’s musical spirituality (especially their work with film director Werner Herzog), Tibetan Buddhism and over-blowing chants, that all combine to give a truly unique new sound. Enrique Rodríguez is a composer, percussionist, keyboardist, and producer from Santiago, Chile, whose work shows many similarities with the music featured on Soul Jazz Records’ recent collection ‘Kaleidoscope - New Spirts Known and Unknown’, featuring new forward-looking jazz artists including Mathew Halsall, Theon Cross, Emma-Jean Thackray and Makaya McCraven. Like all these artists, Rodríguez’s work is a progressive and experimental fusion of earlier influences that combine into a new and definitely 21st century ground-breaking sound that, on account of its South American setting, give the group its truly unique feeling. Hypnotic modal piano riffs, powerful brass and flutes, an army of Latin percussion instruments, and addictive vocal chants all combine in this powerful mix of radical 60s Afro-centric jazz, eastern spirituality and cosmology, and Latin American rhythmical movement. Awesome!
