Paint your village (at a rhythm of three by four)
To affirm that the ancient way of the Andalusian musicians of relating to their tradition has jumped through the air is a (happy) evidence for years.From a group as paradigmatic of the national indie as the planets to - from another generation, other referents and another way of expressing them - Pony Bravo, this renewed southern sympathy has partially and unsuspected sound alliances..After the 90 group battalion singing in English and reverence the Anglo -Saxon tradition, a new generational pact ended up emerging: the effort of yesterday to deny an omnipresent folklore has ended up yielding to the freedom to choose which part of that inheritanceYou want to accept.
"We have raised where we have raised, and we have all had a strong relationship with tradition: we have left Nazarenes, we have played in bugles and drum bands, and at the same time we have been golfos that have gone to discos.We have taken these two lives in parallel for many years, despite having felt the typical rejection of tradition and folklore in adolescence, but now that we are approaching maturity we understand that these two dimensions can be mixed.It is, neither more nor less, to accept our roots, "says Francisco Morales, who under the alias s curro combines punk-metal (with narco) with electronic genres of rap like the grime, and who is one of the founders ofBreaking Bass, a Sevillian collective dedicated to the Bass Music (the Dubstep is the style that has most managed to emerge to the surface of this strong sound and inevitably linked to the underground).
De ese colectivo, como catalizador de afinidades comunes, surgió Califato 3/4 (léase no tres cuartos sino tres por cuatro, por el compás ternario básico común a muchos palos del flamenco), un grupo compuesto por siete personas –cinco de Sevilla, dos de Málaga– que han aplicado tal nivel de osadía a ese renovado enfoque de lo tradicional que se atreven a hacer convivir a Tupac Shakur y Carlos Cano en el mismo tema, a hacer sonar flautas rocieras entre cajas de ritmos o a introducir guitarras de peña flamenca y coros lolailos sobre un colchón rítmico de drum & bass en otro.
"And why not," Manuel Chaparro, S Curro's partner in Caliphate 3/4 wonders rhetorically."I grew up listening to Pink Floyd and the albums of the Bernarda and Fernanda de Utrera that my father put; living Holy Week, the Velás del Cerro, of his eminence...Then I got a sack in electronics, and fell to listening passed through that filter root music such as cumbia or Balkics.Well, I told myself, and why not flamenco, which for me is much bigger.Music has no more limits than your soul and your imagination.Many times, when making music you want to do the right thing, that it is not known very well what it is: normally what someone has done elsewhere.And what you have to do is let what you have inside, tell your story, want to know who we are and why we are like that, without looking or prejudices ".That is, what a third member of the group, Esteban Bove, summarizes with the famous "if you want to be universal, paint your village".
For now, the only record reference of this group that combines sample and flamenco rhythms with purely electronic genres associated with hip hop and rave culture is l'Ambôccá (the ambush, reproducing the phonetics of Andalusian speech), a work of six cutsPublished in digital format and cassette that this summer will also be published in vinyl under the coverage of Breaking Bass.
It was recorded in four days, in an "camp", jokes bove."Faced with so much pubulcorado and correct, there is the alive, the authentic, the art linked to the experience, and in that few things they have more chicha than flamenco - he continues -.We locked ourselves in a house in the field and we didn't hear anything other than flamenco;If we stuck, we went to another subject or another idea, because what mattered to us was that everything flowed, that the recording respect the spirit and the environment generated in the house, and if we blocked we began to see each other, what do I know, documentariesOn YouTube on very unique green ".

To the seven members of Caliphate 3/4 - they comply with the Stay Puft and LIP formation of BSN Posse, for the Malaga flank, and Lorenzo Soria and Diego ninety four for the Sevillian - fascinated them from the ancient discs of flamenco the spokesman in the background,The voice of a man asking for another copita of wine, the jaleo, the laughs and the coughs of the noctambulas, and that spirit, more than the sound itself, is what they tried to capture in l'Ambôccá.
"It is what Ricardo Pachón always said, that formerly flamenco was the art of living, and therefore the noise of life and conversations were heard.When flamenco was professionalized and went on to record in studies, all that touch was lost.If the comb of the combs was raised, it would slap us, we would seem crazy, or if we could hear us aunt anic the pyriñaca is that we would not want to open the door of his house, but all this we do it with the maximum respect, putting our sensitivity and our heart in music, here where you see us with these faces, "jokes Chaparro, who adds:" We will have achieved it if this album listens by a 75 -year -old man who lives in the field in Casariche and said:It is not my roll but it is fine, it shows that it is not grid, that it has a soul and is made from love ".
Caliphate work 3/4 has already raised a remarkable interest in certain reference forums of national electronics, such as the Sónar Festival in Barcelona.But the seven group members prefer not to rush."There is nothing that makes you more nervous on stage than doing nothing, and we want to do a powerful show.But first we have to prepare, it is better not to force.When we get on stage, we want to be very clear about the role of each one, integrate electronics, percussions, guitar, bass, all that..."Bave explains.
"We have done the first album from electronics, and now we have to transfer it to the live: that sample guitars, for example, are transformed into real -played guitars," Tercia s Curro."Although we continue to maintain an electronic base, we want real instruments to have a very powerful entity in our live.And for that we need time, time for the Cuaje Project.The date we have put on, and then we will see if we can meet it because we all walk with a thousand stories apart from caliphate, is January 2020.By then we want to have the band running, and we will also have enough music to gather a repertoire and two records ".
Two albums, yes, because the intention of the group is to repeat the procedure of its record premiere and lock themselves during the first half of next July to record the second in a house they have already located in the straws.Meanwhile, the 3/4 Caliphate work is the video clip of I die II, a work recorded at the Salvador Távora theater a few days after the death of the historic Sevillian playwright, to whose memory this choreographed audiovisual piece is dedicated and interpreted byMalaga dancer and choreographer Manuel Cañadas.
