Notes
-----
The biblical city of Babel and its
infamous tower have received bad
press over the centuries. Imagined
as a looming structure built by
children in which all residents
spoke the same language, the
omnipresent God decided to trick
humans in order to make them
scatter?the word Babel is derived
from the Hebrew balal, to “jumble.”
Yet if we consider the tower as a
prototype radio transmitter, as
Marseille, France-based Watcha Clan
does on its latest album, the sound
of one world singing and dancing
together makes perfect sense.
Watcha Clan has always exhibited a
visionary spiritual eclecticism in
its sound, stretching from Gnawa
trance and drum n bass to hip-hop,
Balkan brass and Sephardic folk,
with thriving bass-heavy pulsations
countered by Sista K’s
show-stopping vocals.
“Diaspora Hi-Fi was more a travel
through my background and roots,”
she says. “Now my obsession is ‘the
wall’, both concrete and abstract.”
Radio Babel is predominantly
concerned with destroying
boundaries everywhere. The first
video, a mini-documentary focused
on Mexican-American border issues,
is set to the breakthrough song “We
Are One,” and features interviews
with migrant workers and farmers.
Whatever sound these nomadic souls
travel through, you can be certain
that Watcha Clan will accomplish
what great artists do: highlight
the similarities between cultures
through music, instead of
complaining about the differences.
To hear the sound of one world
united by music, join the movement
on Radio Babel.
enjoy!!!
