Casablanca-based Cosmo Records launch a new series entitled Cosmo Jam.<\/p>\n
As the title suggests, the focus here is on live improvisation. In late 2014 Parisian producers Masomenos and Vadim Svoboda travelled to Morocco and set up their equipment at the Coda Casablanca Music Center. They were joined by M\u2019hamed el Menjra playing bass, Abdessamad Boussahfa on violin and Sanhaji on darbuka, and the ensuing jam sessions between these musicians now make their way on to vinyl. No editing or post-production took place \u2013 the music you hear on the record was created entirely in the moment.<\/p>\n
Each track highlights the magic of a different instrument \u2013 on \u201cBe\u201d Menjra\u2019s double bass comes twisting through effects processing and subtle distortion, meeting with a low-slung broken beat groove from the visiting French producers. Sanhaji\u2019s thrilling percussive flair on the darbuka flirts perfectly with the crisp programming of drums and bass on the uptempo \u201cKaled\u201d and the more laid-back \u201cPetit\u201d. Boussahfa\u2019s violin makes for some of the most arresting moments on the release, meeting with intricate minimalist rhythms on \u201cMon\u201d and shining in the heart-rending ambience of \u201cFrere\u201d.<\/p>\n
Presented across two 12\u201ds, this collection of six tracks tells a most honest account of how gifted artists from entirely different disciplines can find a common ground and create something truly unique. Without any studio trickery to hide behind, this is the concept of Cosmo Records laid bare, and the results prove it is a concept worth exploring further.
