    Mochilla Presents Timeless Mulatu/ A Suite From Ma Dukes / Verocai

    Mochilla

    AMAZING triple DVD celebrating the music of Arthur Verocai., Mulatu Astake and J Dilla all performed with live with a full orchestra!!!

    The first DVD features Ethiopian musician and inventor of Ethio-jazz, Mulatu Astatke, a giant in African music who blessed the sold-out Luckman Fine Arts Complex with an amazing show. He shared the stage with veterans of the Los Angeles jazz scene Bennie Maupin, Azar Lawrence and Phil Ranelin. The performance is beautiful - showcasing many classics as well as some new material too.

    Timeless 2 celebrated the music of J.Dilla. Composed and arranged for a 60 piece Orchestra by Miguel Atwood-Ferguson feat. special guests Bilal, Dwele, Posdnuos, Talib Kweli and more.  Hiphop has never sounded or looked this good!  Check out Suite For Ma Dukes' 'Jealousy' here

    Arthur Verocai has composed and arranged for such giants as Jorge Ben, Gal Costa and Leny Andrade. But hiphop heads know him for his often sampled (see Ludacriss, MF Doom and Lil Brother) self titled solo album. The album came out at the height of the Brasilian dictatorship and was a commercial failure. His performance of this seminal 1972 record brought the capacity Luckman crowd to a stand still. According to Verocai, "he had never played the record, alive or dead!" His delight at the opportunity to play this music in its complete form can be seen in the DVD. He has subsequently been offered an opportunity to do the concert again in London. Stay tuned. The music for the DVD has been mixed by Verocai himself in Rio de Janeiro. History turned on its head and musical justice served. Have a peek here

    At just £10 per DVD this magnificent deluxe triple DVD box set is a bargain! Well Recommeded!
