Download this broadcast ….

Mr Stefanovski is my favorite guitarist. When I first listen his 1998 solo album “ Vlatko Stefanovski Trio ” I get amazed from his melodic and fluid solos and great power trio sound. And powerful Balkan tunes surely !! also his early legendary band Leb i Sol. What was a great band !!!

My roots are also belongs to Gevgelija Macedonia. My mother’s roots, My grandmother and grandfather came from Gevgelija, Mayadağ in second Balkan war. Because of that. I always love Balkan people. Magnetism like that !!

In Terra Incognita’s first programme I played his Igra bez granici from same album. since then, I am sending my playlists weekly to Mr Stefanovski. So We were in contact via e-mail.

One and half month ago he informed me, “I’m coming to Istanbul with Kudsi Erguner Ensemble” It was great chance to meet with him.  So We met with him also another nice guy and brilliant musician Martin Gjakonovski ( Michael Sagmeister’s upright bass player )

We talked about music, daily things, politics , life …Me and Vlatko drank beers Michael preferred coke :))

They are continue releasing records … Josef and Apostolis with new hungarian drummer Gabor Nemeth ( Ex-Dinamit )

Józef Skrzek / Bass, piano, organ, micro moog, mini moog
Apostolis Anthymos / guitars
Gabor Nemeth / Drums, percussion

Józef Skrzek: “The pressure of the modern world is the reason for human oblivion. We are the generation that destroyed the myth of Europe’s ‘iron curtain’.  The new sound of SBB is like a mirror of the lives of the barriers’ breakers...” The title of the forthcoming album can be interpreted in many different ways. Józef Skrzek is convinced that the iron curtain still exists, not only as a border between the East and the West, the poor and the rich, but also in the media, which promote so called artists, who are actually far from the real artists who genuinely live their art.

Panamanian progressive/rock band Equinox was formed in 1997, led by bassist Alan Pinzón and keyboardist Jorge Pérez, soon after founding its own label, called Medallón Cósmico Records, issuing a self-titled album and making the band's live debut at Panama City's Balboa Theater. In March of 1998 Equinox successfully participated in a Baja California traditional progressive rock festival, in addition having the opportunity to play in Chapel Hill, NC, during the Prog Day in September of 1999. In the year 2000 the group released Spirits of Freedom, followed by a South and Central American tour. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide

Kolombiya - Jaen Kief - 2006 - Las Hadas No Vuelan Mas - I. Vagas Nubes – Prologo

Kolombiya - Jaen Kief - 2006 - Las Hadas No Vuelan Mas - I. Vagas Nubes – Obertura

 

Although the first step is usually to make up a band and then compose the themes, our case was distinct: Jaén Kief was initially (1999) the gathering of some musicians to play Las hadas no vuelan más (literally, "Fairies do not fly anymore"), a piece of work lasting an hour and a half, composed almost entirely between 1990 and 1998. The instrumentation and scenic idea were clear. Two previous assembly attempts had already failed. We did not have a name yet. There were no other projects. We rehearsed at a very good pace for a year, without any hurry of making concerts in order to have a good deal of the work covered.

We wanted a name that referred exclusively to the band. A really own name that did not give the idea of anything else (indeed, when entering the words Jaén Kief in any web search engine one only finds information about the band). We also wanted it to be sonorous. Musical if one wishes.

After eight months of rehearsing, we found the two words in a Pequeño Larousse (dictionary) of edition from middle 20th century.

Jaén ("ha"-"en"): A variety of grape that grows in Spain.

Kief ("ki"-"ef"): Absolute rest in Middle East.

We discovered later that Middle Eastern also call Kief (absolute happiness) the effect produced by hashish. The name evokes East and West, diversity, the own eclecticism of the music made by the band.

Peru - Supay - 2004 - Confusión - Chicago chico

 

Peru - Supay - 2007 - El Viaje – Alma


Amazing band from Peru …. A must for real music explorers ….

No need to describe …check this youtube video …

 

From Progarchives ;

Like many other progressive bands from South America (old or current), SUPAY, an instrumental act from Peru, aimed from the very beginning at the forge of an artistically driven rock input enriched by the incorporation of abundant colours and nuances from Andean folk, in order to state and reaffirm a particular identity within the confines of symphonic prog. Guitarist Luis Proaño founded SUPAY in late 2000, together with drummer Neto Pérez and bassist Juan Roldán - former partners in previous bands - as a power trio. The band took their name from the Inca equivalent to Hades, the Greek God of the Underworld [later on, to the Devil in the Christian religion, as well]. Soon after the band’s debut on stage, woodwind player Williams León entered the ranks in order to help SUPAY to properly enhance their Andean facet with a supply of traditional woodwinds. It wasn’t until July 2003 that the band could take their repertoire to a recording studio; at the time, the band had been augmented as a sextet with the entry of keyboardist Gustavo Valverde and a second woodwind player, Alex Valenzuela, while newcomer Renzo Danuser was in charge of the bassist’s role.
Eventually, their debut album "Confusión" was released the following year, an album full of magic and captivating beauty. While not really becoming a commercial success, it caught the attention of some music critics, as well as a small cult following in the 'underground’ rock scene of Lima.
In 2006, Chilean label Mylodon records re-released “Confusión” with a remastered sound production. This gave Supay the opportunity to be known by prog fans worldwide, given the association of Mylodon with Musea. During that same year, under an irregular schedule and facing inconsistencies in its line-up, Supay managed to record new material. This material (now as a quintet after the departure of one windwood player) was partially released in the EP “El Viaje” in March 2007, and two months later, released completely in the namesake long-duration CD. This first edition, as it had happened for the band’s debut album, is an independent local edition.
A long-duration CD equally titled “El Viaje” was released two months later. Both the EP and this sophomore album had been recorded in intermittent sessions all through 2006 and early 2007. Only one woodwind player remained from the line-up that had recorded “Confusión”; the original keyboardist left after the ultimate session; there were two people alternating the bassist’s role, since Danuser was by then about to move to Switzerland to pursue personal life’s projects. Despite the inconsistency of the recording line-up, the album turned out to be musically powerful and compositionally inspired.
Particularly recommended to fans of JETHRO TULL, LOS JAIVAS, CAMEL, as well as lovers of 73-75 PINK FLOYD and 76-78 GENESIS. Generally speaking, SUPAY’s music feels quite suitable for lovers of art-rock with strong folk and fusion tendencies.
Why this artist must be listed in www.progarchives.com :
Their record "Confusion" is a beautiful work full of inventiveness in its mixture of symphonic prog and Andean folk colours.
